A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING pays homage to the remarkable cannon of work by the Tony® Award-winning team of Rodgers and Hammerstein. This fresh and innovative musical Review includes 30 LEGENDARY songs including, I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair, Honeybun, and Kansas City…to name a few. It’s been said that Rodgers and Hammerstein’s songs are like snowflakes – no two are alike…and, we can’t think of a better way to celebrate the Great American Songbook!
THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE (February 2 – 18, 2018)
Picture a world where an eclectic group of mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. And then, 1 by 1…they candidly disclose hilarious and touching stories from their home lives while they trepidatiously spell their way through a minefield of difficult words! The Tony® Award-winning, THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE is a riotous ride, complete with audience participation where…six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box!
THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD (April 27 – May 13, 2018)
Our 13th Season closes with the rip-snorting rendition of Rupert Holmes’ THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD, based on Charles Dickens’ unfinished novel of the same name. In this bombastic rendition of the whodunit Dickens’ mystery, the audience enters the action and becomes the ultimate detective, deciding who committed the dastardly deed!
