La Cage aux Folles
Music and Lyrics by Jerry Herman
Book by Harvey Fierstein
June 27-29, July 3, 5-6 & 10-12
Based on a French film by Jean Poiret by the same name (that was also the inspiration for the 1996 hit film The Birdcage), La Cage aux Folles is a boisterous and uplifting celebration of family values. The musical tells the story of Albin and Georges, two middle-aged partners who run a drag nightclub in St. Tropez. Their outrageously resplendent peace turns to mayhem when their son announces that he is getting married--to the daughter of a local morals crusader! La Cage aux Folles won six Tony Awards including Best Musical and ran for over four years on Broadway.
Once Upon A Mattress

Book by Jay Thompson, Marshall Barer and Dean Fuller
July 19-20, 24-27, 31 & August 1-2
Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance, The Princess And The Pea, provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you’ll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.
