SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET

About the Play

Director: Sean F. Gray
Run: Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2pm

Synopsis

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Book by Hugh Wheeler

 

Director: Sean F. Gray
Music Director: Stephen Olear
Choreographer: Halley Hardy

 

Stephen Sondheim’s brilliant foray into bloodlust and revenge is being given an intimately terrifying and darkly humorous re-telling in the Studio Theatre. The infamous tale of Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, follows his blood-soaked return to 19th century London as he seeks vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him, ravaged his young wife, and keeps his daughter a virtual prisoner in his house.  Close shaves, razor-sharp wit, and unsettlingly delicious meat pies (with a secret ingredient), combined with Sondheim’s brilliant and disturbingly beautiful music, will delight even the faint of heart.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST (All Women Cast)

About the Play

Director: Phie Mura
Run: Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2pm

Synopsis

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

by Oscar Wilde, Adapted for an all Woman Cast

This classic satire is brought to new life in this all-woman production, as the female sensibilities of the performers bring new light to the gender stereotypes so crucial to the convoluted machinations of this comedy of manners.  Fast, funny, and entirely female, Earnest is guaranteed to reignite the audiences love of high British farce. Algernon and Jack, both devout bachelors, have fallen in love, but their love interests know them only as “Ernest,” a name every woman in London seems unable to resist.  Mistaken identity, social mores, and love-born mistruths are brilliantly skewered by the master, Oscar Wilde.

REASONS TO BE PRETTY

About the Play

Director: Gregory Cohen
Run: Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2pm

Synopsis

reasons to be pretty by Neil LaBute

*Note: This production contains mature content – parental discretion advised.

In this modern love story about the impossibly difficult challenges of being a loving couple, we are introduced to two young adults whose relationship is threatened by a slip of the tongue.  When Greg is overheard explaining that he loves Steph even though she only has “normal” looks unlike the amazingly pretty new girl at work, all hell breaks loose.  The issues of love, friendship, honesty, and lies, are brought to life in witty banter and frustratingly true slice of life moments. Funny, sweet, and true, these characters will anger, frustrate, amuse, and worm their way into your hearts.

 

Featuring:
Johnny Martin, Ali Kendall, Robert Adams, Courtney Chudleigh
