Celebrating our 10th SEASON.
Join us next summer as we pull out all the stops to celebrate ten fantastic summer seasons of theatre!

“The Best of Broadway”
Featuring the hottest scenes
from Broadway’s most acclaimed musicals.

Session 2: July 12th – July 30th
“Me and My Girl”
...an old-fashioned musical delight...
...A razzle-dazzle musical filled with energetic dancing lilting songs...
...It's colorful, silly, upbeat, with catchy songs and dances (including the '30s answer to the macarena, "The Lambeth Walk") and plenty of signature British wit...
The story of a 1930's cockney lad who inherits a fortune and must prove himself to be "An English Gentlemen" before he can get his hands on the money.
To complicate matters the new aunt Duchess in his life feels his fiancé is unsuitable for his new title as well.
