OPERA
Don Giovanni
March 23-April 15, 2012
Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Libretto by Lorenzo DaPonte
Widely regarded as one of the greatest operas ever composed, Mozart’s opera is a brilliant combination of stark human tragedy and touching comedy, set to music of limitless genius. The Don walks on a moral knife-edge. Charismatic and sexy, but so dangerous and remorseless as to be the greatest cad in history. But his deeds may be catching up with him...

Born Yesterday
May 25-June 10, 2012
by Garson Kanin
(Rights Pending)
Boy, is this magnificent old comedy as timely as they come. Talk about junk bonds and Washington insiders, greed and government cover-ups! How is it possible that Garson Kanin could write this piece in 1946, not knowing what was coming down the pike in the first part of the next century? Here’s the hilarious tale of a not-so-dumb-blonde, her less-than-honest brute of a boyfriend, and the no-nonsense reporter who helps her uncover Washington’s dirtiest back room dealings.

She Loves Me
September 9 - 25, 2011
Book by Joe Masteroff/Music by Jerry Bock
Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick
Based on Parfumerie by Miklos Laszlo
Considered by many the most charming musical ever written. Two feuding clerks in a European parfumerie secretly find solace in their romantic pen pals, little knowing their respective correspondents are none other than each other. Funny and intelligent, “She Loves Me” is a warm romantic comedy with an endearing innocence and a touch of old world elegance and nostalgia, yet as universal and relevant as ever in this age of internet romances

Crimes of the Heart
October 21-November 6, 2011
by Beth Henley
Winner of the 1981 Pulitzer Prize and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award. An astonishing first play, initially presented by the Actors Theatre of Louisville, then Off-Broadway, and then on Broadway, where it established the author as a major voice in our theatre. Warm-hearted, irreverent, zany and brilliantly imaginative, the play teems with humanity and humor as it examines the plight of three young Mississippi sisters betrayed by their passions.
CABARET MUSICAL
Tomfoolery
December 31, 2011-January 22, 2012
Music and Lyrics by Tom Lehrer
A healthy dose of attitude is all you need to enter the witty, wicked, offbeat and thoroughly twisted world of the famed satirical songwriter. Tom Lehrer delighted millions of fans during the 1950’s and 60’s with his dry, cynical but good-humored attacks on everything from the A-bomb to pollution. Nothing is sacred in this hysterical revue featuring such favorites as “Poisoning Pigeons In The Park,” “The Masochism Tango,” “The Vatican Rag” and an unforgettable Gilbert and Sullivan-esque recitation of the table of elements, linked together with his own inimitable concert patter.
