Nunsense

Other Desert Cities

By Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten

Weekends April 8-17on The Performing Arts Center Main Stage

We have another Southern Fried Comedy from the creators of Dearly Departed. It’s family reunion time in Sweetgum for the Verdeen cousins and a chance for all hell to break loose once again. This fast-paced romp barrels toward an uproarious climax and you’ll wish your own family reunions were this much fun.

Suitable for all audiences.

By William Shakespeare

Weekends April 22 – May 8in the Daniel & Belle Fangmeyer Theatre

One of Shakespeare’s most romantic and inspiring plays. This is a magical story of love, jealousy, and redemption, which builds to a moment of reconciliation and grace that helped redefi ne a new concept of forgiveness for a post-reformation world.


Book by Heather HachMusic & Lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Nell Benjamin

Based on the Novel by Amanda Brown and the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Motion Picture

Weekends May 20 – June 12on The Performing Arts Center Main Stage

A big splashy new musical comedy that tells the story of Elle Woods, a sorority girl who enrolls at Harvard Law School to win back her ex-boyfriend. She discovers how her knowledge of the law can help others, and, defying all expectations, successfully defends exercise queen Brooke Wyndham in a murder trial.


By Christopher Durang

Weekends June 17 – July 3in the Daniel & Belle Fangmeyer Theatre

Masha and Vanya and Sonia are the children of community theatre actors who loved the plays of Chekov. The children have grown to embody the characters they are named for. Masha, now a movie star supporting her siblings, has returned home with her boy toy, Spike, with plans to sell off the family home. “Drama” ensues. A riotously funny new Tony award-winning comedy!

Recommended for mature audiences.

Lyrics by Tim RiceMusic by Andrew Lloyd Webber

Weekends July 8 - 31on The Performing Arts Center Main Stage

Webber and Rice rocked the world in 1971 and now it is our turn. This global phenomenon has wowed audiences for over 40 years. Jesus Christ Superstar is a timeless work set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally-known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot.


By Arthur Miller

Weekends August 5 – 21in the Daniel & Belle Fangmeyer Theatre

Inspired by a true story, this classic drama about a father who thought he was building a fortune for his son, only to discover that he had betrayed him, is a powerful examination of the consequences of self-deception. This was the fi rst masterpiece from one of the theatre’s greatest playwrights.


By Lewis Black

Weekends August 26 – September 11on The Performing Arts Center Main Stage

A couple are preparing for the afternoon wedding of their daughter on their lawn when suddenly the unwanted ex-boyfriend shows up on the doorstep and sends the house into chaos and hilarity. This broad and unexpectedly family-friendly comedy is from Daily Show regular Lewis Black.


Music & Lyrics by Stephen SondheimBook by James Lapine

Weekends September 16 - October 16

in the Daniel & Belle Fangmeyer Theatre

One of the most magical musicals ever will transform the new Fangmeyer Theatre into a forest fi lled with witches, and spells, and giants in the sky. Forget the movie, the only way to experience this story of the Baker, and Cinderella, and Jack, is to go into the woods yourself and we are planning to take you there.


By Charles Ludlam

Weekends October 21 - 30on The Performing Arts Center Main Stage

Before The 39 Steps, before Greater Tuna, before The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged there was The Mystery of Irma Vep the original quick change satire of several theatrical, literary and fi lm genres, including Victorian melodrama, farce, the penny dreadful, Wuthering Heightsand the Alfred Hitchcock fi lm Rebecca (1940). The title is an anagram for the word, “vampire.” Perfect for October.
