“Thank you for the music…”

Mamma Mia, what a great season we have in store for you!

As we begin our 28th season, we are so excited about the selection of events we have scheduled for you. This season, between now and June of 2019, we will have nearly 200 performances for you to enjoy. Hopefully, you’ll be back to see many, many more after today!

As always, we try to provide a season with a wide variety of programming… and with the 11 full-scale productions, we think you’ll find several events you’d like to attend.

We’re thrilled to be the first area theatre to be licensed to present Elf the Musical, Shakespeare in Love, and A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder. And many of our other shows are pieces that you have requested, like the return of our semi-annual presentation: A Merry Mulberry Street Musical.

Information is in the lobby listing all of our 2018-2019 programming. And, if you’re not a current FLEX PASS subscriber, you may apply the cost of today’s ticket to any of our plans. We offer five, seven and 10-ticket FLEX PASSES that reduce prices by 25% and more, making regular attendance here very reasonable. AND, with three great area restaurant partners (Zody’s at Sterling, Mackenzies and Judy’s Bar & Kitchen) offering discounts to FLEX PASS holders, it’s a really great deal!

For those of you here for the first time, we hope it’s the first of many dates you’ll share with us. We also want you to know that in addition to dozens of great performances scheduled, we also offer year-round educational programming in the performing arts for all ages.

Thanks again for being here, enjoy the show, and I hope to see you here again soon!

Lou Ursone
