LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS
Fridays & Saturdays, October 11 through October 26
In Little Shop Of Horrors (Book by Howard Ashman, Music by Alan Menken, Lyrics by Howard Ashman, based on the film by Roger Corman) a floral assistant becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. One of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows of all time, this affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi is charming, tuneful and hilarious, with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
SPRING AWAKENING
Fridays & Saturdays, February 14 through March 1
Spring Awakening (Book and Lyrics by Steven Sater, Music by Duncan Sheik, Based on the play by Frank Wedekind), winner of 8 Tony Awards, is a rock musical adaptation of Frank Wedekind's 1891 expressionist play about the trials and tribulations, and the exhilaration of the teen years. Spring Awakening explores the confusion and desperation that ensue when the onrushing tide of hormones meets the ignorance of children.
DOUBT, A PARABLE
Fridays & Saturdays, May 2 through May 17
John Patrick Shanley's play has won numerous honors including 2005 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award. In this brilliant and powerful drama, Sister Aloysius, a Bronx school principal, takes matters into her own hands when she suspects the young Father Flynn of improper relations with one of the male students. Doubt is a parable for our time: When should we stand firm in our beliefs? When must we accept a measure of doubt into our thinking, and give someone else the benefit of that doubt? When belief begins to slip, will doubt help us to renew our humanity or make us into a lie?

DEAR EDWINA
December 6, 7 and 8
Dear Edwina (Book by Marcy Heisler, Music by Zina Goldrich, Lyrics by Marcy Heisler) is a heartwarming musical about the joys of growing up. Thirteen year-old Edwina Spoonapple would do just about anything to be a part of the Kalamazoo Advice-a-palooza Festival. When a talent scout from the convention visits her hometown, she trots out her musical advice giving shows live from the family garage in hopes of finding her place in the spotlight.
