By Meredith
Willson
Directed by Tracey Williams
Musical Direction by Jimmy Calire
June 20 - July 19
The classic American musical by Meredith
Willson simply sparkles and delights even on its 50
year anniversary. Salesman Harold Hill cons the good
people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and
uniforms for a boys' band he never plans to organize.

falls for Marian, the town librarian. |

Directed by Steve
Grumette
Aug 8 - Aug 31
Winner of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize,
Rabbit Hole is about a family recovering from
the death of their child. Yet despite its subject of
grief, the play is "laced with wit," according
to Variety. A slogan for the play could very
well be: "If there's a way down, there's a way
back up." |

By Larry Shue
Directed by Tom Eubanks
Sept 19 - Oct 19
An extraordinarily inventive, side-splitting
comedy about a young architect who writes to the man
who saved his life in Vietnam, promising he'll "do
anything" for him. The man shows up and proves
to be a bumbling oaf who has no tact or social skills.
Hilarious all the way through with a twist at the end. |
