Step into the enchanted world of Broadway's modern classic, Disney's Beauty and the Beast.  Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature, the stage version includes all of the wonderful songs written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice. The original Broadway production ran for over thirteen years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed into his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

Anton Chekhov's   THE SEAGULL

Written by Anton Chekhov
In a new version by Christopher Hampton
Directed by Janis Stevens

The Seagull was the first of Chekhov’s great works and is celebrated as one of the most important plays of the nineteenth century.  

Guests assemble at a country house for the staging of a play, while  behind the scenes, romantic jealousies, self-doubt and the ruthless pursuit of happiness confuse lives, loves and literature.  

Our production seeks to offer an impressionistic feel of turn-of-the-century Russia and the comedic poignancy of the characters brought to life in this extraordinary play.

LEND ME A TENOR

Written by Ken Ludwig
Directed by Nancy Silva

In September 1934 The great tenor Tito Morelli is supposed to appear at the Clveland Opera.  Through a hilarious series of mishaps, he passes out, and the manager has to go on and fool the audience that he is Tito Morelli.  But wait, the real Tito wakes up, and gets into costume to perform.  Now there are two tenors running around.  What happens now? This madcap, screwball comedy is guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter.

"A furiously paced comedy with more than a touch of the Marx brothers"

"The most inventive original farce in a long time"

"Uproarious! Hysterical!"
