Crazy for You is a high-energy comedy of mistaken identities, plot twists, fabulous costumes and dances, and classic Gershwin music. It’s the story of Bobby Child, a stage-struck NYC banker who heads to desolate Deadrock, Nevada to foreclose a rundown theater. It’s love at first sight when he runs into spunky Polly Baker, the theater owner’s daughter, who doesn’t realize he’s the heartless businessman she’s vowed to get even with. Based on the 1930 musical Girl Crazy with a book by Ken Ludwig, this Gershwin extravaganza is filled with song, dance, and hilarious dialogue. Audiences will be swept up in this artfully constructed tale of boy meeting girl in the Wild West, where they spread goodness and ultimately fall in love. MUSICAL RATED PG

When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for the adjustment to his new high school. What he isn’t prepared for are the local laws - including a ban on dancing - which are the brainchild of a local preacher bent on exercising control over the town’s youths. When the Reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her heart on Ren, her boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation and many of the locals are eager to believe the worst about the new kid. From the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated top 40 score, Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind. MUSICAL RATED PG

Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have this thrilling, and riotously funny whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre. This 2-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning treat is packed with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by a ridiculously talented cast of 4), an on-stage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers, and some good old-fashioned romance! A man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she’s a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organization called “The 39 Steps” is hot on the man’s trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale! The 39 Steps amounts to an unforgettable evening of pure theatrical pleasure! COMEDY, MYSTERY RATED PG

New York socialite Florence Foster Jenkins once said, “People may say I can’t sing, but no one can ever say I didn’t sing.” Though this wealthy eccentric was incapable of producing two consecutive notes in tune, an improbable fandom flocked to see her as she performed her Carnegie Hall concert that famously sold out in two hours. Her story was recently told in the Oscar-nominated film starring Meryl Streep, and now she appears on the Lyceum stage with her hapless accompanist, Cosme McMoon. Souvenir is a charming and hilarious comedy that reminds us that you can achieve anything when you set your mind to it. COMEDY WITH MUSIC RATED PG

Waking from hibernation in the Spring, Frog and Toad plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding and learn life lessons along the way. The two best friends celebrate and rejoice in the differences that make them unique and special. Part vaudeville, part make believe... all charm. For children ages 4 & over.
