Performances July 18 – August 10
In the middle of a howling snowstorm, a bus out of Kansas City pulls up at a cheerful roadside diner. All roads are blocked, and four or five weary travelers are going to have to hole up until morning. Cherie, a nightclub chanteuse in a sparkling gown and a seedy fur-trimmed jacket, is the passenger with most to worry about. She’s been pursued, made love to and finally kidnapped by a twenty-one-year-old cowboy with a ranch of his own and the romantic methods of an unusually headstrong bull. The belligerent cowhand is right behind her, ready to sling her over his shoulder and carry her, alive and kicking, all the way to Montana. As a counterpoint to the main romance, the proprietor of the cafe and the bus driver at last find time to develop a friendship of their own; a middle-age scholar comes to terms with himself; and a young girl who works in the cafe also gets her first taste of romance.

The Pirates of Penzance tells the tale of Frederic, a young man who believes he is bound by duty to remain a pirate until his 21st birthday. However, since he was born on February 29th—a leap year—he discovers that he won’t actually turn 21 for many years to come. Along the way, Frederic meets an array of colorful characters, such as the flamboyant Pirate King, the quick-witted Major-General, and a spirited group of maidens. Torn between his sense of duty and his love for the charming Mabel, Frederic finds himself in a series of hilarious dilemmas. The story unfolds with plenty of humor, romance, and a delightful touch of whimsy, reminding audiences that even the most rigid obligations can be outsmarted.

Rediscover the magic of Christmas with Miracle on 34th Street: The Play! When Kris Kringle, a warm-hearted elderly man, takes on the role of Santa at Macy’s, his kindness and unorthodox approach spark a wave of goodwill, challenging the commercial world of New York. But Kris’s unusual ways make him a target, leading to a courtroom battle over his sanity and the very essence of Christmas spirit. With young Susan’s belief in Santa hanging in the balance, this heartwarming story reminds us of the power of faith, generosity, and the joy of holiday wonder. Will Kris prove he’s the real Santa, or will skepticism overshadow the season’s magic? Join us and celebrate a timeless tale that captures the true spirit of the holidays!
