Babes in Toyland with Cox and Box

October 9–17, 2010

Babes in Toyland

The beloved work by Victor Herbert is presented in a special one act version.  Mother Goose invites babes young and old to visit Toyland to meet many of her famous nursery rhyme characters.  All join to help Mother Goose save Toyland and Little Bo Peep from the wicked Silas Barnaby.  How will they do it?

Cox and Box

In Sullivan and Burnand’s one act operetta, an unscrupulous landlord is renting the same apartment to two different men, one in the day and one in the night, without them knowing it!  Come see what happens when they meet, find out they’ve dated the same girl, and have a secret connection!

Carousel

March 26–April 3, 2011

Rodgers and Hammerstein’s favorite collaboration, Carousel was named the best musical of the 20th Century by Time magazine.  Julie and Carrie are mill workers in 1870’s New England who fall in love, one with carousel barker Billy and the other with fisherman Mr. Snow.  Their lives become very different with the dark fate of the barker and the success of the fisherman.  But when angels give Billy a second chance, love, loyalty, forgiveness and faith are the abiding themes given to his child and to the audience.  Come hear the great songs and music, “If I Loved You”, “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, “The Carousel Waltz”, and much more.

CAROUSEL is presented through special arrangement with R & H Theatricals: www.rnhtheatricals.com

The Sorcerer

June 18–26, 2011

One of Gilbert and Sullivan’s earliest operettas, The Sorcerer is the tale of a young couple who want everyone to be happily mated, but inadvertently set off ridiculous pairings of townspeople through the misuse of John Wellington Wells’ magic tea potion.  Come see this beloved operetta with a new twist; Bollywood style meets Victoriana.  What magic will be needed to restore order?

Our Miss Gibbs

July 30–31, 2011

A zany Saturday for level-headed Mary Gibbs, star sales associate at “Garrod’s” London store. While Mary is courted by the disguised Lord Eynsford and a chorus of admirers, country cousin Tim causes mayhem as an accessory to a burglary by upper-class amateur thief Hughie. Add Hughie’s bipolar fiancée Lady Betty, her bridesmaids, and a trip to the World’s Fair and you get all the elements of a romantic comedy romp filled with many of the best songs of the Edwardian age!
