2008-2009 Season

Based on the book The Quilters: Women and Domestic Arts by Patricia Cooper and Norma Bradley Allen,
Quilters follows the story of a pioneer woman (Sarah) and six women who are called her daughters. Rather than a straightforward storyline, the musical is presented as a series of short tales and tableaux matched with musical numbers, each presenting an aspect of frontier life or womanhood: “…a show pieced together with love and stitched with pride…a thing of beauty, comfort and joy” (NY Post).

2008-2009 Season

Fiddler on the Roof is set in the small Jewish village of Anatevka, Russia, in 1905. It centers on the efforts
of Tevye, a dairyman, his wife, Golde, and their five daughters to cope with their harsh existence under
Tsarist rule. The original Broadway production of the show, which opened in 1964, was the first musical
to surpass the 3,000 performance mark, and it held the record for longest-running Broadway musical for
almost 10 years.

Considered the first concept musical, Company opened on Broadway in 1970 and won several Tony Awards, a NY Drama Critics Award and a Drama Desk Award. A new Broadway revival of Company is planned for fall of 2006, after an initial production at the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park last spring.
Join us for our production of Company, a series of short vignettes tied together with a surprise 35th birthday party for a confirmed bachelor. The energetic score features many of Sondheim’s well-known songs and an ensemble of memorable characters who double as the show’s chorus.
