Disney’s Newsies, 2019

Ken Ludwig’s

Music and Book by James ValcqLyrics and Book by Fred Alley

Based on the film by Lee David Zlotoff

Mar 5-15, 2020

A heart-warming musical featuring Percy, a young woman fresh out of prison, who dreams of a new start in the small town of Gilead, Wisconsin. She lands a job in the local diner, which is struggling to survive, much like herself. Percy’s unique idea to save the restaurant through an essay contest takes the town on a musical journey of renewal, self-discovery, and redemption. Americana folk music mixed with stories of heartache and hope, good coffee and a hot breakfast are all served up at The Spitfire Grill.

Rated PG-13, mild adult themes

Ken Ludwig’s

Cliché, but men disguised as women is hilarious-especially in the 1950s. Leo and Jack (down-on-their-luck British actors) are touring Shakespearean scenes when they hear an old woman died, leaving millions to her long-lost British nieces. Having no shame, the actors in stockings, wigs, lipstick, and dresses cast themselves as the heirs in this non-musical farce by Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor).

Rated PG-13

Your favorite colorful characters from the fantastical world of Dr. Seuss come endearingly to life in this musical extravaganza. Through the ubiquitous narration of the Cat in the Hat, we meet big-hearted Horton the Elephant. Horton’s faithfulness and loyalty lead him on epic adventures in egg-sitting and protecting a dust-sized Who world. He also befriends a disillusioned boy named Jojo, who, like him, feels “Alone in the Universe.” With dazzling music and lyrics by Tony-winning team Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, you and your entire family will be transported and uplifted!

In this new musical based on the popular novel and Disney movies, mom and daughter, Katherine and Ellie, both have strong opinions on how the other should live her life. In one magical moment, the frazzled mom and her rebellious teenage daughter switch bodies, and a chaotic comedy of errors ensues! However, a day in someone else’s shoes allows them to quickly discover a compassion for the other’s difficulties, dreams, and journey. Not only does a new level of mutual respect blossom, but they each acquire a newfound self-acceptance, and a fierce bond of family love emerges.
