Take Me Out by Richard Greenberg
Octover 2nd - November 11th
In this Tony Award Winner for Best Play, America’s National Pastime is forever altered as Darren Lemmings, star of the New York Empires, comes out of the closet to his team, his friends, and to the public at large. As his deeply racist and homophobic teammate, Shane Mungitt, grows incensed by the news, Darren’s gay financial manager, Mason Marzac, finds a new hero, and the other players see their locker room in a whole new light. The quest for identity unfolds on and off the field leaving each of the play’s characters, major or minor, searching for the truth in himself and those around him. Take Me Out contains adult language and brief nudity.

Meet Me in St. Louis by Hugh Wheeler
November 13th - December 31st
Meet Me in St. Louis is the musical based on the 1944 musical film from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer which tells the story of an American family living in St. Louis at the time of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition World’s Fair in 1904. Revisiting a hit from our venue’s colorful past, Judy Garland played the original Esther Smith who falls in love with “The Boy Next Door”. This show sparkles with optimism and good tunes, featuring the famous “Trolley Song” and “Meet Me in St. Louis” and the holiday gem, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”. A family-friendly show just in time for the holidays! Join us for our Twilight 6pm shows on Thanksgiving and Christmas and for our New Years bash on December 31st.

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes by Joseph Fields & Anita Loos
January 8th - February 24th
Set in the Roaring Twenties, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes follows the madcap adventures of the original “dumb blonde,” Lorelei Lee, as she sets sail for Europe with her best friend Dorothy Shaw. As Dorothy puts it, the gold-digging Lorelei is “the only girl in the world who can stand on a stage with a spotlight in her eye and still see a diamond inside a man’s pocket.” Based on Anita Loos’ bestselling novel of the same name, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes made a star of Carol Channing on Broadway and later cemented Marilyn Monroe’s and Jane Russell’s status as American film icons and sex symbol in the 1953 screen version. “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” is the crown jewel in a score that sparkles with songs like “Bye, Bye, Baby,” “A Little Girl from Little Rock” and “I Love What I’m Doing (When I’m Doing it for Love). “She (Lorelai) has returned in the flesh, and what flesh it is.” - New York Times

I’m Just Wild About Harry by William A. Reilly and Gary Lamb
May 21st - June 30th
This is an old-Fashioned Musical Comedy for the whole family featuring songs from the early 1900’s. The show is based on a 19th century farce, “Charlie’s Aunt”. It is hilarious as a play, and even more fun as a musical. Some of you may remember songs like “Daisy Bell” (A Bicycle Built for Two) or “Aba Daba Honeymoon”, but this show is packed with old favorites. You won’t be disappointed. When Harry’s Aunt decides to show up unexpectedly, the boys (Jack and Harry) invite their sweethearts over to meet the Aunt, but really to propose, since the girls’ father/guardian is out of town. But when the Aunt wires that she will not be coming the boys insist their music teacher (a man) dress up and pretend to be the Aunt. Hilarity ensues as the music teacher tries to avoid being discovered and of course, when the real Aunt arrives.
