This timeless tale of impetuous, idealtistic and fatal amore endures like no other play ever staged. For centuries audiences have embraced the poetry, passion, pageanty and fast-paced action of Shakespeare's most endearing romantic tragedy.  Family fueds, fickle fate and the irresistible infatuation of history's most famous "star crossed" lovers captivate audiences today as much as they did in 1591.

Elemental spirits lurk and the air shimmers with enchantment on Prospero's island. His royal title usurped, Prospero and his young daughter Miranda, washed up on its shores 12 years earlier. Since then, the exciled duke has brooded on the injustice done to him as he has mastered the art of magic. At last, Fate places the architects of his downfall within his grasp. In the charmed crucible of Shakespeare's farewell masterpiece, Prospero conjures a storm that will transform ancient enemies, innocent lovers and the great magician himself.

Katarina drivers her family crazy!  Too spirited to adopt the docile roler her younger sister plays, she remains defiantly single, terrifying would-be-suitors and jeopardizing her sister's marital aspirations.  Enter Petruchio, who has come to wive it wealthily.  With relief, Katarina's father gives his eldest to Petruchio, but her heart isn't part of the bargin.  Petruchio'ss fortun=hunting enterprise quickly weers off into a courtship that breaks all the rules and becomes something far stranger, and more rewarding that either he or Katarina could have imagined

Much as Louis Jordan ushered popular music from Swing into Rhythm & Blues, the songwriting team of Leiber & Stoller were a bridge from Rhythm to Blues to Rock & Roll.  This was the longest running musical review in Broadway history with 7 Tony nominations including Best Musical.  It's just plain irresistible!

'Book and music by James Valcq; Book and lyrics by Fred Alley

Based on the film by Lee David Zlotoff, a feisty parolee follows her dreams to a small town in Wisconsin where she finds work at Hannah's Spitfire Grill. The restaurant is for sale but there are no takers, so newcomer Percy suggests to Hannah that she raffle it off. One hundred dollars and the best essay wins the grill. Soon, mail is arriving by the wheelbarrow full, and things are definitely cookin' at the Spitfire Grill. 'An abundance of warmth, spirit and goodwill!...Some of the most engaging and instantly infectious melodies I've heard in an original musical in some time.' — USA Today. 'A compelling story that flows with grace and carries the rush of anticipation.' — N.Y. Times.
