We are pleased to announce our 2019 season!

DOUBT, A PARABLE

Performances: March 28-31, 2019
Auditions: January 27 & 28, 2019

MISCAST CABARET
Actors singing actresses’ showstoppers, young women filling old men’s roles and seniors playing ingénues. You don't want to miss this evening of madcap musical magic. Join us for a hilarious mix-up of some of Columbus’ best performers singing songs from roles in which they would NEVER be cast.

Performance: May 11, 2019
Auditions: March 24 & 25, 2019

THE MUSIC MAN
The Music Man follows fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band that he vows to organize – this, despite the fact that he doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain's fall.

Performances: November 14-17, 2019
Auditions: September 8 & 9, 2019
