The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-In-The-Moon Marigolds

By Paul Zindel
Directed by Steve Grumette

May 17 - June 16

The title is literally a science project by one of two daughters of a single mother who badgers her kids because of her own self-loathing. Written by Paul Zindel, it was called "a great human drama" by a New York critic, winning numerous awards such as "Best American Play" and the Pulitzer Prize for its power and insight about how beauty and hope can emerge from "barren soil."

July 12 - August 11

That fiddler on the roof is a metaphor for survival, emphasizing tradition and joy. This amazing musical topped them all in attendance on Broadway, surpassing 3,000 performances, a record it held for over ten years. It has won multiple Tonys and retains its wonderful draw to this day with numerous revivals. And no wonder, it's a warm story with great songs about cultural traditions in a changing world. Director Tracey Williams Sutton continues her string of musical hits during our summer season.

Directed by Tom Eubanks

August 31 - September 29

Tennessee Williams' "Streetcar" not only revealed emerging culture clashes and sexual mores in the South and elsewhere, it changed acting, too, thanks to Marlon Brando's gritty and realistic "method acting." Its power took Broadway by storm and grabbed the Pulitzer Prize for drama. Tom Eubanks returns to the Ojai ACT stage to direct this American icon where there really was a streetcar named Desire in New Orleans, which transported Blanche DuBois to her fate.

Directed by Bob Blough

"Miracle on 34th Street" is coming to Montgomery Street and Ojai ACT next December. This wonderful story about a 6-year-old girl insisting that a Macy’s Department store Santa named Kris Kringle is the "real" Santa takes on all cynical nonbelievers. The issue ends up in court where the judge has to decide if Kris is the real Santa or "really nuts."
