Handsome Little DevilsSponsored by Sky Ridge Medical Center

October 16-20Look underneath the strange, wonderful fabric of the modern Big Top: circus, vaudeville, variety and cabaret collide at a break-neck speed in a beautiful spectacle of entertainment. You will meet an assortment of entirely unique characters creating a world which seems fantastical yet familiar. International touring sensations, the Handsome Little Devils have found a way to illuminate the human adventure through skill, grace, intelligence, humor and absolute wonderment.

Sylvia*November 7-17Written by A.R. Gurney, Directed by Randal MylerThis fun comedy is a modern take on “the other woman”… if the other woman was a dog. When Greg brings home a street-smart dog named Sylvia, he and his wife Kate find their marriage in jeopardy. Sylvia offers Greg an escape from the frustrations of his job and the unknowns of middle age; as Greg becomes more and more attached to the pooch, we explore the relationship between man and dog, man and wife, and wife and dog. Filled with lots of laughs and thoughtful insights, Sylvia is a unique and perceptive look at modern love.
