As the northern lights hover in the star-� lled sky above, Almost’s residents � nd themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways. Knees are bruised and hearts are broken and mended again in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.

WRITTEN BY Arthur MillerDIRECTED BY Edward H. Myers, Jr.

MUSIC AND LYRICS BY Andrew LippaBOOK BY Marshall Brickman and Rick EliceDIRECTED BY Luke Fellows

BOOK BY Alan ParkerMUSIC AND Lyrics by Paul WilliamsDIRECTED BY Lorie Dengler Dewey

� e Crucible is Arthur Miller’s gripping, Tony Award-winning drama.

� ey’re creepy and they’re spooky… join us for � e Addams Family – � e Musical, a weird and wonderful new musical comedy based on the bizarre and beloved characters created by Charles Addams. � e famously macabre Addams Family is put to the test when outsiders come to dinner. Come meet the family. We’ll leave the lights o� for you!

Bugsy Malone is a pint-sized, pin-striped, tuneful tribute to the gangster � lms of the 1920s. Two gangs, comprised completely of children, are involved in a gangster rivalry that would put Al Capone and his boys to shame. Bugsy is unwillingly thrust into the gangster limelight in this tongue-in-cheek musical comedy romp.

It’s tells the heartwarming story of a plucky, red-headed orphan girl who goes from rags to riches and eventually � nds the family she has always wanted.
