Seussical, a musical
Seussical is a magical and charming musical based on the famous works of Dr. Seuss. The vividly colorful and whimsical show fills the audience with imagination!
Seussical lovingly brings to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie, and a little boy with a big imagination--Jojo. "Oh, the Thinks You Can Think" captures the show's spirit of imagination, as the colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.
Narrated by The Cat in the Hat himself, the story is centered on Horton, the Elephant. Horton is challenged with guarding an egg and with protecting all the people of Whoville, all of who live inside a speck of dust. Today Seussical is believed to be one of the most performed shows in America! Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant, in a story that makes you laugh and cry.

See How They Run, a comedy
Audiences will be delighted by this fast paced comedy/farce about a young vicar's wife who is trying to fit into a small tightly knit town. Set in the background of the cold war, things go awry when a pompous church matron comes calling unannounced and a male friend of the young vicar's wife's past comes to visit (while the good vicar is away), The bishop (the wife's uncle) shows up two days early and an escaped Russian convict hides in the house. The story moves into light but misinterpreted scandal, mistaken identities, the mugging of the good vicar, and the church matron's introduction to heavy drinking (which she has never done before). Throw in another vicar and a witty maid, who is a little off and you have a comedy that will make even the grumpiest smile. Director Janet Speer says, “See How They Run is the funniest play I’ve ever directed!”

Showboat, Hal Prince Version
Perhaps the most influential musical of the twentieth century is, Show Boat. After three film versions, numerous Broadway and London revivals, countless tours and recordings, legendary director Harold Prince took the helm for a new Broadway production in 1994, this streamlined version became an instant hit!
Based on Edna Ferber’s bestselling novel of the same name, the musical follows the lives of the performers, stagehands, and dock workers on the Cotton Blossom, a Mississippi River show boat, over a span of nearly fifty years, from 1880 to 1927.
Show Boat tells the story of a showboat family and their struggles with gambling, race and infidelity and poverty.
