June 8 – 24, 2007
By Peter Shaffer
AMADEUS, the Tony Award-winning play by Peter Shaffer, later made into an Academy Award-winning film, brings the brilliance of one of the world’s greatest composers to life. We see Mozart through the eyes of his musical rival, Antonio Salieri, who believes that Mozart is a composer of such genius that his music can only be the voice of God on earth. But Salieri cannot believe God would allow such a “graceless, foul-mouthed libertine” as Mozart to reveal such “absolute beauty.” Vincent Canby of The New York Times calls Amadeus a “confrontation between mediocrity and genius” that is “terrifically entertaining.” Contains adult language and themes. |

| THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST |
July 6 – 22, 2007
By Oscar Wilde
Take a walk on the Wilde side with this riotously funny comic masterpiece that is “full of rib-tickling text, sparkling language…[and] audacious comic predicaments,” according to The New York Times. Wilde’s hilarious romp features two blushing brides-to-be, Gwendolyn and Cecily, who are in love with Jack and Algernon. But the men have bent the truth – neither is quite who he claims to be. Enter Algernon’s aunt, Lady Bracknell, to sort things out. Will love find a way? Only after Wilde’s sharp wit has wrung every possible laugh from this delicious romantic romp. |

| I DO! I DO! |
July 27 – August 12, 2007
Book and lyrics by Tom Jones; lyrics by Harvey Schmidt
In celebration of our 20th anniversary season, we’re taking a fresh look at a Tony Award-winning musical we first produced in 1994. This delightful and realistic look at marriage starred Mary Martin and Robert Preston in the original Broadway production, and produced the standard, My Cup Runneth Over. “Charming and endearing, feisty and tender,” I Do, I Do! introduces us to Michael and Agnes on their wedding day and traces their lives together over a period of 50 years, from wedding night jitters to raising a family, from mid-life crises and quarrels to reconciliations and growing old together, until they ultimately leave their house to another pair of newlyweds. This loving story is told to the tune of a charming score. |
