Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another "Merry Murderess" Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream": fame, fortune and acquittal. This sharp edged satire features a dazzling score that sparked immortal staging by Bob Fosse.   Chicago won six Tony Awards!

(Musical)

Book and Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick.

Music by Joe Raposo.

 

Director: Dave Sikula

Resident Musical Director: Greg “Suds” Sudmeier

     
           
     

Frank Capra's film classic has been brought to vibrant theatrical life through the remarkable collaboration of Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winner Sheldon Harnick and Grammy and Emmy Award-winner Joe Raposo. The story of George Bailey and his wonderful life in Bedford Falls remains a timeless fable of dreams, disillusion-ment and the power of love. An uplifting chronicle of the extraordinary lives of ordinary folk, A Wonderful Life exhilarates the mind and heart as it celebrates the innate goodness in us all.  Memorable songs include One of the Lucky Ones, In a State and Christmas Gifts.

HOLES LOGO

     
      A Modern Fable By Louis Sachar   Director: Karen Byrnes      
           
      Holes is a modern grown-up fairy tale with a charming ending that comes full circle after a variety of perambulations.  Stanley Yelnats, whose only claim to fame is that his full name was spelled the same forward and backwards, was from a poor family.  But his past and the past of bandits, rustlers, Kissin’ Kate Barlow and all his friends catch up with him and they solve the mystery of both his family curse and the mystery of Camp Green Lake.

      A Comedy  By Terence Rattigan   Directed by Hunt Burdick      
               
       Separate Tables is set in a shabby genteel hotel on England’s south coast where the residents, for the most part, dine alone—at separate tables.  The story is about sexual repression, understanding and forgiveness.  Hillbarn’s take on it, although true to the script, pokes a little fun at the repressed mores of the 1950s while at the same time understanding that the glimpse is real.  The original movie contained blockbuster actors Deborah Kerr, Rita Hayworth and David Niven—who won an Oscar for his portrayal.  Our version will make you laugh about some of the outmoded conventions in our past.

(Musical)

Book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar and

music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison

 

Director/Choreographer: Bill Starr

Resident Musical Director: Greg “Suds” Sudmeier

     
               
     

Join us for this Peninsula premiere of this Tony Award winning Broadway hit.  The Man in Chair, a mousy, agoraphobic Broadway fanatic, seeking to cure his "non-specific sadness", listens to a recording of the fictional 1928 musical comedy, The Drowsy Chaperone. As he listens to this rare recording, the characters appear in his dingy apartment, and it is transformed into a glorious Broadway set with seashell footlights, sparkling furniture, painted backdrops, and over the top costumes. Blockbuster songs include Fancy Dress, Show Off, Aldolpho, and the Finale Ultimo.  It debuted in 1998 and opened on Broadway on May 1, 2006. The show won the Tony Award for Best Book and Best Score.
