THE GRAPES OF WRATH
Adapted by Frank Galati
From the novel by John Steinbeck
Directed by Terry Martin

APRIL 5-28, 2013

“They ain’t gonna wipe us out.  We’re the people.  We go on.”

Having survived the drought of the 1930s Dust Bowl only to see their home repossessed by the bank, the Joad family embarks on a harrowing trek from Oklahoma to California, intending to begin anew as migrant farm workers.  Their arrival in this “promised land,” however, brings its own test of the human spirit.  Frank Galati’s groundbreaking adaptation of Steinbeck’s epic novel won two Tony Awards on Broadway.  A plea for social justice and compassion, The Grapes of Wrath provides the perfect canvas for a vast ensemble cast and is an all too timely examination of a nation in search of itself.

A Musical Revue by Stephen Sondheim

Sondheim at his lyrical best.

The revue first premiered in the U.K. in 1992 and opened on Broadway in 1993, with a cast including Julie Andrews.  WaterTower Theatre’s production stars the incomparable Diana Sheehan.

THE MYSTERY OF IRMA VEP
By Charles Ludlam

SEPTEMBER 28 - OCTOBER 21, 2012

A penny dreadful tale.

Who is Irma Vep? That's the mystery at the heart of this outrageously funny tour de force.  On a "dark and stormy night," Lady Enid arrives at an estate with her new husband, who is under the spell of his deceased first wife and haunted by something that’s prowling the grounds.  Strange things begin to happen around her and she soon discovers the mystery of Irma Vep, whose portrait hangs over the fireplace. This hilarious comedy satirizes everything from Hitchcock’s Rebecca and Victorian Melodrama to The Mummy's Curse.

SHOW CONTAINS SMOKE, HAZE, AND STROBE LIGHTING EFFECTS.

Wednesday/Thursday 7:30pm

XANADU
Book by Douglas Carter Beane
Music and Lyrics by Jeff Lynne

JULY 26 – AUGUST 18, 2013

Believe in magic.

Put a bunch of smash hit songs, Tony Award nominee Douglas Carter Beane and the cutest couple in town into a Broadway musical comedy blender, and what do you get?  "Heaven on Wheels" says The New York Times.  Taking audiences back to 1980 California, this hilarious new musical follows the beautiful Kira, who travels to Earth to inspire a struggling young artist named Sonny, as she helps this aspiring painter to find his voice, discover true love and build the world’s first roller disco (not necessarily in that order).
