BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON
February 28 — March 16, 2014
Music & Lyrics by Michael Friedman
Book by Alex Timbers
Directed by Guy Gardner
Musical Direction by James Levy
This musical tells the story of America's first political maverick. A.J. kicked British butt, shafted the Indians and smacked down the Spaniards all in the name of these United States--who cares if he didn't have permission? An exhilarating and white-knuckled look at one of our nation's founding rock stars, the show recreates and reinvents the life of "Old Hickory," from his humble beginnings on the Tennessee frontier to his days as Commander-in-Chief.
FOLLIES
April 18 — May 4, 2014
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by James Goldman
Directed by Eric Magnus
Musical Direction by Tim Braselton
The year is 1971, and theatrical impresario Dimitri Weissmann hosts a reunion of ex-Follies performers in his crumbling theatre, setting the stage for a parade of brilliant pastiche numbers, including "Losing My Mind," "I'm Still Here," and "Broadway Baby." Amid the reminiscing, two middle-aged couples confront some unpleasant truths about their past and present and come face to face with the future. Surreal, sophisticated, compelling, heart-wrenching and epic in scope, this show uses the musical theatre as a metaphor for the collapse of American innocence and naivete in the post-Kennedy years.

The timeless fairy tale meets the magic of Disney in this adaptation of the treasured animated film.

With a little help from her mice friends, and a lot of help from her Fairy Godmother, Cinderella goes to the ball, meets the Prince, and falls in love!
AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY
May 30 — June 15, 2014
By Tracy Letts
Directed by Darren Sextro
A vanished father. A pill-popping mother. Three sisters harboring shady little secrets. When the large Weston family unexpectedly reunites after Dad disappears, their Oklahoman family homestead explodes in a maelstrom of repressed truths and unsettling secrets. Mix in Violet, the drugged-up, scathingly acidic matriarch, and you've got a major new play that unflinchingly-and uproariously-exposes the dark side of the Midwestern American family.
NOISES OFF
July 18 — August 3, 2014
By Michael Frayn
Directed by Bill Pelletier
Called the funniest farce ever written, this play presents a manic menagerie of characters as a cast of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop play called Nothing's On. Doors slamming, on and backstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play.
BARN BENEFIT 2014:
CLOSER THAN EVER
August 15 - 17, 2014
Music by David Shire
Lyrics by Richard Maltby, Jr.
Directed by Martha Risser
CLOSER THAN EVER is a story: an intimate, insightful tale about love, security, happiness-and holding onto them in a world that pulls you in a hundred directions at once. Maltby and Shire bring their celebrated craft and contemporary sensibility to songs about aging, mid-life crisis, second marriages, and role reversals with parents, as well as wicked satirical jabs at Muzak, working couples and unrequited love.
HAIR
September 19 — October 5, 2014
Music by Galt MacDermot
Lyrics & Book by Gerome Ragni & James Rado
Directed by Phil Kinen Musical Direction by Chris Holbrook
This classic rock musical tells the story of Vietnam-era youths awkwardly but exuberantly creating their own rite of passage through the confusion around them. With themes of alienation and civil disobedience Hair illustrates the '60s generation's search for meaning through various "be-ins," "love-ins" and protests. Phenomenal musical numbers include Aquarius, Good Morning Starshine, Hair, I Got Life, Let The Sunshine In and Easy To Be Hard.
LA CAGE AUX FOLLES
November 7 - 23, 2014
Music & Lyrics by Jerry Herman
Book by Harvey Fierstein
Directed by Kipp Simmons
Musical Direction by Martha Risser
After twenty years of un-wedded bliss Georges and Albin, two men partnered for better-or-worse get a bit of both when Georges' son (fathered during a one-night fling) announces his impending marriage to the daughter of a bigoted, right-wing politician. Further complicating the situation is the 'family business': Albin and Georges run a transvestite nightclub in St. Tropez, where Albin is the "star" performer 'Zaza'. When Anne's parents want to come and meet Jean-Michel's mother and father, chaos ensues.
