October 7-11, 2009	CURTAINS   Book by Rupert Holmes Lyrics by Fred Ebb Music by John Kander Directed by Matt Nesmith Purchase Tickets Curtains is a backstage murder mystery set in 1959 Boston and follows the fallout when the egregiously untalented leading lady, faded film star Jessica Cranshaw of Robbin’ Hood of the Old West, is murdered on opening night! Can a police detective (who moonlights as a musical theater fan) save the show, solve the case and find love - before the show reopens - without getting killed himself? This fresh from Broadway musical has that old-fashioned Broadway feel.

November 4-8, 2009	A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM   By William Shakespeare Directed by David Richman Purchase Tickets “The course of true love never did run smooth.” But thanks to that cheeky imp Puck and his magic love-juice, the summer woods are alive with the sounds of courtship. Following orders from fairy king Oberon, Puck must sort out a thorny love-tangle amongst four young lovers - but not without a few hiccups. And what of Titania, queen of the fairies? It’s possible that in this summer night’s dream, she has made an “Ass” of herself. Love and magic abound in this racy Shakespearian comedy.

March 30-April 3, 2010	DANCE COMPANY CONCERT   Purchase Tickets Ballet Concerto Created and choreographed by C. Laurence Robertson This non narrative performance piece emphasizes the visual experience of dance and movement. An original ballet, the piece seeks to highlight the youthful vigor of the young dancer, as she moves with the mood and flow of the music. Duke Ellington meets Sherlock Holmes Created and Choreographed by Gay Nardone Inspired by the real-life influence of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous inspector on Duke Ellington’s music, this jazz, tap and aerial production pays homage to Doyle through the rhythmic music of Ellington. What better way than a tap dancing Holmes and a rhythmic Doctor Watson to explore the music of one of America’s most influential figures in jazz?
