September 8 – September 30, 2018
music by Marvin Hamlisch
lyrics by Edward Kleban
book by James Kirkwood Jr. and Nicholas Dante

Directed by Tom Rowan

A Chorus Line is a celebration of those unsung heroes of the Broadway musical: the chorus dancers–those valiant, over-dedicated, underpaid, highly trained performers who live in the background of the limelight. Seventeen dancers compete for a spot in the chorus line of a Broadway show, and the drama unfolds as they perform dazzling dance numbers and reveal personal stories through heartfelt songs.

by Nilo Cruz

Winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize, Anna in the Tropics is a poignant and poetic play set in 1929 in a Cuban-American Florida cigar factory, where cigars are still rolled by hand and “lectors” are employed to educate and entertain the workers.

The mystery features a group of travelers who find themselves thrown together on an expedition.

Steel Magnolias examines the relationships between a tight-knit group of southern ladies in a small-town beauty parlor, who witness the milestones in each other’s lives.
