Spring Musical

42nd Street

by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble
Lyrics by Al Dubin and Johnny Mercer
Music by Harry Warren 

Come along and listen to the lullaby of Broadway! 42nd Street celebrates Broadway, Times Square and the magic of show biz with wit, humor and pizzazz. At the height of the Great Depression, aspiring chorus girl Peggy Sawyer comes to the big city from Allentown, Pennsylvania and soon lands her first big job in the ensemble of a glitzy new Broadway show, Pretty Lady. But just before opening night, the leading lady breaks her ankle. Will Peggy be able to step in and become a star? The score is chock-full of Broadway standards, including "You're Getting to Be a Habit with Me," "Dames," "We're in the Money," "Lullaby of Broadway," "Shuffle Off to Buffalo" and "Forty-Second Street."

One-Act Play

Alice

By Lindsey Price

In this imaginative and contemporary adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, playwright Lindsay Price reimagines the classic tale through a modern lens. Alice, a curious and uncertain girl, tumbles into a fantastical world where logic is twisted, and the absurd reigns supreme. As she encounters eccentric characters like the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and the Queen of Hearts, Alice grapples with questions of identity, growing up, and self-discovery. With poetic language, dynamic staging utilizing a chorus, and a focus on theatrical storytelling, this adaptation captures the whimsy and playful strangeness of Wonderland while speaking to the journey of finding one’s voice.

Fall Play

Clue:  On Stage (High School Edition)

Written by Sandy Rustin
based on the screenplay by Jonathan Lynn
with additional material by Hunter Foster and Eric Price

The classic board game is brought to life in Clue on Stage (High School Edition). Guests are invited to a dinner party thrown by an anonymous host. They are given aliases--Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, Professor Plum, and Miss Scarlet. Though discouraged from revealing personal information, it is soon discovered that all of them have fallen victim to the same blackmailer, their very host of the evening. Each is presented with a weapon and an option: pay their extortionist double or kill the innocent butler. What follows is a madcap, slapstick evening full of murder, mystery, and laughs as they seek to puzzle out the culprit amongst criminals.
