Our 2008 Season
See the world through the eyes of five dreamers whose stories are bound to stir your mind, heart and imagination this season.
Harvey by Mary Chase
Now running through October 25
Elwood P. Dowd is polite, cheerful and always ready to introduce his best friend, who happens to be an invisible six-foot-tall rabbit named Harvey. Attempts to have Elwood committed raise the age-old question of who is more dangerous to society: the dreamer or the people who want to reform him.
Man of La Mancha by Dale Wasserman
Now running through October 25
The legend of Don Quixote comes vividly to life! Follow the misadventures of the Knight of the Woeful Countenance and his sidekick Sancho Panza, while enjoying some of the most memorable music in theatre history including Dulcinea and The Impossible Dream.
The story contains some adult themes and situations and may not be appropriate for children.
