As You Like It
Fall 2005
One of Shakespeare’s greatest comedies - where anything can and does happen - is reset in America of the 1950s. His juxtaposition of town and country relations is as fresh today as it was over 400 years ago. With power-plays, banished children, dueling brothers and misguided country-bumpkins we see truly that “all the world’s a stage.” -
Sweeny Todd
Fall 2005
Step into the 19th century barbershop of Sweeney Todd, where the floor is littered with more than hair clippings as Todd’s irrepressible thirst for revenge against a crooked judge has expanded to include his unfortunate customers. Add to this the resourceful proprietress of the pie shop downstairs who soon has the people of London lining up in droves to savor her mysterious new meat pies, and you’ll discover a multiple award-winning musical thriller! At the play’s premiere in 1979, The New York Times opined, “There is more artistic energy, creative personality and plain excitement than in a dozen average musicals." -
