Presents
Gypsy, A Musical Fable
Produced by Emily Black and Danuta Shasha
Directed by Steve Black
Associate Director Katie Meuse
Music Direction by Lianne Goodwin
Choreography by William Fafard
Regarded by many theatre professionals as the finest musical ever created, Gypsy is the ultimate tale of an ambitious stage mother fighting for her daughters’ success – while secretly yearning for her own. Set all across America in the 1920s and 30s, when vaudeville was dying and burlesque was born, Arthur Laurents’ landmark show explores the world of two-bit show business with brass, humor, heart, and sophistication.
The celebrated score by Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim boasts one glorious hit after another, including: “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” “Let Me Entertain You,” “Some People,” “You’ll Never Get Away from Me,” “If Momma Was Married,” “All I Need Is the Girl,” “You Gotta Get A Gimmick,” “Small World,” and “Together Wherever We Go.”

Fabulous cast of children ages 7 through 12!
Sally is a kid con-artist who explodes onto a quiet beach town with a get-rich-quick seashell-selling-scheme. For a small fee, she trains the kids on how to sell seashells before the annual summer festival, but plans to skip town with all their money before the big event! Sally becomes torn after meeting a local, Tam, who joins the program eager to help her family. The kids in this little beach town will never be the same as they learn the importance of friendship, honesty, and finding a healthy balance between working hard and having fun.
Friday, April 29 and Saturday, April 30 are sold out.
Set in the fictional town of Baile Beag , a village in 19th century Ireland, Translations, by Brian Friel, deals with a number of issues, using language and communication to explore the Irish character and cultural imperialism. The plot revolves around two soldiers from the British Ordinance Survey, who arrive in Baille Beag for the purpose of anglicizing the local Irish place names, one instance of imperial oppression. Culture erasure, in all its forms, is a weapon of racial discrimination that has been practiced throughout the ages by governments in power. Friel’s characters engage in the conflict to preserve local traditions against the assault.
Producers Steve Black and Erin Pelikov
