Charles Troy Presents: "The Creation of Cabaret"

This 1966 landmark show was the first successful concept musical. You'll discover how producer-director Harold Prince led his writers into uncharted musical theatre territory as they created a new kind of musical. And then you'll see how producer Cy Feuer and director Bob Fosse perfected Prince's work in their extraordinary film version six years later.

Timed to coincide with the Light Opera Works production of "Cabaret," which runs during the month of August, Mr. Troy's presentation will enhance your enjoyment by offering fresh, eye-opening insights that deepen your understanding and appreciation for this daring and innovative musical. Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 1:30pm: $12 advance purchase, $14 at-the-door.

Gordon Edmund: Out of His Mind & Into Yours

In his show “Out of His Mind & Into Yours” Gordon Edmund uses psychology, hypnosis and magic to play tricks on your perception, mystify your mind, and alter your reality. This show is based on audience participation and Gordon Edmund may call you up on stage and use these techniques to read your mind, challenge what you believe and focus on how fun and exciting messing with your MIND can be. Produced by Gordon Edmund.
Fridays at 9pm, July 12-August 2, 2013. Tickets are $25.

Funny Old Broads

A Night of Hilarity featuring Comic Caryn Bark, The Boomer Babes (Pam Peterson and Jan Slavin) and sit-down Comic Robin Riebman with Musical Director Beckie Menzie. Produced by Funny Old Broads.
Thursdays at 7:30pm, July 18-August 8, 2013. Tickets are $22 (group pricing available).

Cellar Doors

Cellar Door, singular, is the most beautiful phrase in our vocabulary. Cellar Doors, plural, is an original play about four adolescents from two families and one very formative weekend. After learning that their mothers have left both families and come out as lesbians, the distanced childhood friends struggle with coming of age, sexuality, familial discord, and the exhausting search for something meaningful in the seemingly beautiful syntax of their lives. This premier production is written by Emily Prescott and directed by Jonathan Stoller-Schoff.
Friday, July 19 (7pm) and Saturday July 20 (2pm and 7pm). Tickets are $10.

Glengarry Glen Ross

Winner of the 1984 Pulitzer Prize, David Mamet's scalding comedy shows parts of two days in the lives of desperate Chicago real estate agents who are prepared to engage in any number of unethical, illegal acts—from lies and flattery to bribery, threats, intimidation and burglary—to sell undesirable real estate to unwitting prospective buyers. Produced by Ron Ben-Joseph.
Fridays and Saturdays at 7pm, July 26-August 3, 2013. Tickets $25.

Fantastic Folktales

Join us for an afternoon of folktales from around the world! Folktales are the earliest story telling tradition, and have been a part of every culture. Five of the most popular folktales still being told today will come to life on stage in a real live dramatic presentation filled with laughter and life lessons.
