| A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum |
 |
Saturday May 11, 2013 to Sunday May 19, 2013 Set in Roman times, Forum tells the story of Pseudolus, a slave who must obey his domineering mistress, his master (“That Dirty Old Man”, one of the show’s musical numbers, will tell you all you need to know about him), and their idealistic son named (appropriately) Hero. Pseudolus yearns to be free- until, one day, his young master agrees to grant him his freedom in exchange for the girl of his dreams (who just happens to be the young virgin in a house of courtesans living next door!). Come and enjoy an evening of musical farce full of togas, dancing girls, mishaps, chases, disguises… and hilarity! |

Thursday June 13, 2013 to Sunday June 23, 2013 Well-educated Austin and thieving con man Lee, estranged brothers from different worlds, reunite in their mom’s California kitchen, where Austin is working out a screenplay deal. But when Lee comes up with his own big idea and steals much more than just the neighbors’ TV, challenges are issued, many drinks are downed, and the siblings find that they might not be such opposites after all. This dynamic, darkly funny play by iconic actor-writer Sam Shepard is a tale of brotherly love and competition, Hollywood producers and stolen toasters. |

Thursday August 1, 2013 to Sunday August 18, 2013 When a postulant proves too high-spirited for the religious life, she is dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval Captain.

Upon returning from their honeymoon they discover that Austria has been invaded by the Nazis, who demand the Captain’s immediate service in their navy.

| My Way: A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra |
 |
Thursday August 22, 2013 to Sunday October 13, 2013 ”My Way: A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra” is a loving, lyrical homage to the man, his time and his music. The revue, conceived by Todd Olsen and David Grapes, was first performed at Artpark, Lewiston, N.Y. in 1999. Since then, it has become one of the most popular musical revues in the United States, mounted by professional and amateur theatre groups alike. It features a vocal quartet — two men, two women — backed by an on-stage jazz trio. The focus is, of course, Sinatra — his prolific life and career, most particularly the nearly 1,400 songs (57 of them in this production) that ‘Ol Blue Eyes recorded. |
