NEW PLAY
DECEMBER 4-8, 2013A heart-warming tale of loyalty and friendship, WAR HORSE is the winner of FIVE 2011 Tony Awards®.
England, 1914. As World War One begins, Joey, young Albert’s beloved horse, is sold to the cavalry and shipped from England to France. He’s soon caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary journey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in no man’s land. But Albert cannot forget Joey and, still not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a treacherous mission to find him and bring him home. This powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and songs, is a show of phenomenal inventiveness that is currently playing to packed houses in London and around the world. At its heart are astonishing life-sized puppets created by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, that bring to life breathing, galloping, charging horses strong enough for men to ride.

WAR HORSE is recommended for ages 10+.

FEBRUARY 6-9, 2014It’s 1987 on the Sunset Strip. A small town girl meets a big city rocker in LA’s most famous rock club as they fall in love to the greatest songs of the ’80s. Nominated for five Tony Awards, ROCK OF AGES is a hilarious, feel-good love story featuring 28 classic rock tunes including: Don’t Stop Believin’, We Built This City, The Final Countdown, Wanted Dead or Alive and Here I Go Again.
With its abundance of T&A (read: sexy groupies and scenes set in a retro-style strip club) and occasionally mature (but mainly immature) content, consider this a good night to call a babysitter.

MUSICAL REVIVAL
2009 TONY® NOMINEE FOR BEST REVIVAL OF A MUSICAL
MAY 1-4, 2014More than fifty years ago one musical changed theater forever. Now it’s back, and mesmerizing audiences once again. From the first note to the final breath, West Side Story soars as the greatest love story of all time. Tony® Award-winning librettist Arthur Laurents’ Broadway direction is recreated for the tour by David Saint, the Associate Director on Broadway. West Side Story remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The Bernstein and Sondheim score is considered to be one of Broadway’s finest and features such classics of the American musical theatre as “Something’s Coming,” “Tonight,” “America,” “I Feel Pretty” and “Somewhere.”
WEST SIDE STORY may not be appropriate for all audiences, as it contains adult language, scenes of violence and sexual situations.
