We're going for THE FULL MONTY!













The "Reefer Madness" team is back!

Stage Director: Pete Rydberg
Music Director: JS Fauquet
Choreographer: Cindy Severt


THE FULL MONTY is the Broadway hit musical translated from the indie Brit cult classic comedy. THE FULL MONTY is the story of six unemployed steelworkers from Buffalo who decide to bare it all to help a friend in need, and raise themselves up in the eyes of the people they love along the way.

It is based on the 1997 Academy-Award nominated film by the same name; the 2001 stage play received 10 Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical.

Critics have hailed it as “that rare crowd-pleaser that you don’t have to apologize for liking,” “a catchy score and exuberant dancing,” “full of brilliance,” “witty,” and “exhilarating.”

Auditions for VAMP and CLOUD NINE
Co-production with Mercury Players and Stage Q

Vamp is a goofy supernatural love story between a play reader and her Goth girlfriend.
Cloud Nine, a satire by Caryl Churchill, spans over 100 years over the course of the play, starting with colonial Africa. Cloud Nine creates a fierce critique of oppression through the use of gender- and race-bender casting.

Production dates: Feb. 27-April 4, at the Bartell Theatre, 113 E. Mifflin St.
