“More lilting originality and heart‑felt emotion than any big Broadway musical.”

—The Washington Star

SEPTEMBER 12–28, 2014*

From tender ballads to hysterical husband-hunting laments, from wry comments to ecstatic celebrations, this bold, extroverted journey takes a winsome cast of three through the maze of modern relationships with its heart firmly on its sleeve.

Lyrics by Richard Maltby Music by David Shire Directed by Doug Baird

Adrien GleasonGlenna Murillo Katie Chapin

Perspective! That’s our theme this season. Every show will provide us with an interesting, engaging, and insightful perspective to different facets of life! We will celebrate; we will laugh; we may even shed a tear or two.

Perspective! When you think about it, everything — every single thing we see, say, do, or experience — is influenced by our perspective. Every photo,

every story, every situation reaches each of us through a different, unique, or contrasting lens.

This season we are presenting six main stage productions that enlarge our view and understanding of a phase, circumstance, or situation. It’s all about Perspective!

Additionally, we are bringing back NINETEEN for two Big Band Christmas concerts in December, plus three separate NINETEEN Big Band concerts during the season.

By the way, discounts to all of this season’s productions and concerts are available to Tabard subscribers and are described in this brochure.

I look forward to sharing this coming season with you. It wouldn’t be the same without you. That’s my perspective! It’s really all about you.

With continued appreciation,

Cathy

Cathy Spielberger Cassetta Producing Artistic Director
