Macbeth
November 18-21 at 8:00pm
November 22 at 2:00pm

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Holden Hansen

“By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes”

One of the most frightening and gripping plays ever written. A nightmarish world of bloodshed, war and political violence.

 

You Can’t Take it With You
February 25-28 at 8:00 pm

By Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman
Directed by Dr, Chet Jordan

One of the most successful plays of modern times!  At first the Sycamores seem mad, but it is not long before we realize that if they are mad, the rest of the world is madder.

 

Cabaret*
April 21-25 at 8:00 pm

Book by Joe Masteroff
Based on the play by John Van Druten and Stories by Christopher Isherwood
Music by John Kander
Lyrics by Fred Ebb
Directed by Hal Davis

The winner of 8 Tony Awards including Best Musical in 1966 and Best Musical Revival in 1997.  The scene is a night club in Berlin, as the 1920's are drawing to a close. The Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience to the show and assures them that, whatever their troubles, they will forget them at the Cabaret. His songs provide wry commentary throughout the show. On the train to Berlin we find Cliff, a young American writer, and Ernst, a German who surprises Cliff by putting his briefcase among Cliff's luggage at the German border. History is in the process of being made. Musical numbers include It Couldn't Please Me More, Willkommen, Cabaret, Don't Tell Mama and Two Ladies. We find Cliff on the train again, now leaving Berlin alone. He writes about Sally and the people of Berlin leading up to the Third Reich. It has been a tumultuous and heartbreaking era.
