Mainstage Season at the Oscar Seagle Memorial Theater
by Gilbert and Sullivan
This classic comic operetta is one of the favorites by the English duo Gilbert and Sullivan. A cast of hilarious Japanese characters including Nanki-Poo, Yum-Yum, Pooh-Bah, Ko-Ko, and the Mikado himself churn out tune after tune as well as laugh after laugh. CAST LIST
by Stephen Sondheim
Sondheim’s musical debuted in the 70’s and had a very successful Broadway revival in 2006. It’s a story about relationships and one man’s fear of commitment. It’s also full of some of Sondheim’s greatest songs, including the popular “Being Alive”. The ensemble cast will have you laughing, crying and thinking about love from beginning to end. CAST LIST
by Giacomo Puccini
Probably the most popular opera of all time, Puccini’s classic follows two couples in their journeys through happiness, trials and eventual despair and sickness. Some of the most memorable tunes and hummable melodies are found throughout the luscious score. Our stars of tomorrow will bring you to your feet today. CAST LIST
by W.A. Mozart
Mozart’s final opera is one of his best. The valiant Tamino must face many trials to win his love Pamina. Working against him are the evil Queen of the Night and the ever confusing Zarastro, who are highlighted in arias on either side of the vocal spectrum. This production will surely end our season on a high note! CAST LIST
