Suddenly chaos erupts when the thief runs through the crowd clutching a stolen loaf of bread. Seizing the opportunity to escape her fate, the princess disappears into the throng. The two runaways run into each other, decide to escape together and the adventure begins. Come along on a magical carpet ride with Aladdin, Jasmine and, of course, the Genie, and discover a whole new world. You ain’t never seen a show like this!

The Front Page
By Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur
Beeler Auditorium, Lafayette High School
Hildy Johnson has decided to leave the rat race of newspaper reporting to find a respectable job and get married. When his fellow reporters rush out to get the next big story, it falls right into his lap. Actually it crawls through the window, but who cares about the details. Earl Williams has escaped being hung for a murder he swears was an accident. Johnson decides to help him in exchange for an exclusive interview, but where to hide him? Enter the unscrupulous managing editor, Walter Burns, who would do just about anything to keep Johnson on at the paper. Thus begins this fast-paced and ferociously funny foray into the role of media in society.

Macbeth: A Cautionary Tale
Adapted by Nancy Linehan Charles
Beeler Auditorium, Lafayette High School
“By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes.” Witness Shakespeare’s Scottish tragedy told in a manner that both instructs and entertains. While actors speak and portray the Bard’s words, storytellers provide insightful (and often comic) commentary on the plot and escalating action. This play preserves some of Shakespeare’s most elegant passages as well as the nature of this century’s old story, but makes it understandable to audiences of all ages. This is Macbeth like you have never imagined it before! “Double, double toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble.”

Tracy Turnblad is a plump teenager in Baltimore, Maryland in 1962 with big hair and big dreams. She longs to be a dancer on The Corny Collins Show. When she is dropped from the audition because of her size, she refuses to let rejection deter her. Armed with unwavering drive and indubitable talent, not to mention the power of loving, supportive parents and a devoted friend, Tracy forges ahead. Just try sitting still through this toe-tapping, finger-snapping musical commentary on social injustice and see why when it’s right, ‘you can’t stop the beat!’
