The FantasticksBook Lyrics by Tom Jones
Music by Harvey Schmidt

The longest running musical in the world is a timeless fable of love that manages to be nostalgic and universal at the same time.  "Try to Remember" when this pure and simple musical wasn't a favorite of audiences.

The Elephant Man by Bernard Pomerance

This moving drama tells the TRUE story of John Merrick,

a man whose body is hideously deformed, but within this body we find a remarkably sensitive and intelligent spirit.  His condition is exploited by all levels of society in early 20th century.

Two Rooms by Lee Blessing
February 12-15 @ 7:30

Provocative and compelling with a subject much in the mind of today's society - the taking of innocent lives by terrorists.  This timely play is a powerful exploration of terrorism in Beirut performed in an intimate arena format in the Black Box Theatre.

The Beaux' Stratagem by George Farquhar
April 23 - 26 @ 7:30

A gem of 18th century comedy, this delightful play has two young rogues pretending to be men of money in order to win the hearts of the young and wealthy women they fancy.  This clever story depicts all the funny, silly twists men are willing to endure to succeed in one of the oldest con games in Wnglish storytelling.

THIS PLAY IS SUITABLE FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY.
