| What A Glorious Feeling |
|
|
Theatre At The Center |
 |
| |
| This new dance musical inspired by true events brings to life the tempestuous love triangle that occurred behind the scenes during the filming of the 1952 MGM blockbuster “Singin’ in the Rain”. It explores the highly charged collaboration between star Gene Kelly, his assistant Jeanne Coyne and his co-director Stanley Donen. The show is filled with smoldering passion and the fast-paced dialogue of former friends forced to create their art as a team. Other characters are Debbie Reynolds and the producer/songwriter Arthur Freed. WHAT A GLORIOUS FEELING invites audiences to relive iconic dances and songs from movies they know and love, but with a brand new perspective and whole new love story. The work of Broadway choreographer Danny Herman will be featured. |

|
|
Annoyance Theatre |
 |
| |
| The Annoyance Theatre presents Wizard Quest, a musical comedy about the fantastic (and sometimes not-so-fantastic) world of role-playing games and those that play them. Head to Skeech's Comics where the Quest Master guides a ragtag crew through "Wizard Quest," a role-playing board game. During the nightlong contest, this group of friendly oddballs -- including struggling students, the shop's owner, a paralyzed former athlete, a failed navy pilot and a mysterious woman -- try to escape the evil Zantar ... as well as more personal demons. As the struggles of their Wizard Quest personas parallel their own battles in real life, the players begin to realize how much they need each other if they are ever to "win." Original songs, outrageous comedy and poignant drama combine in Wizard Quest directed by Kellen Terrett. |

| Boy meets girl…and now they’re on the run. This is the ballad of Leila and Lee—a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde who learn that they aren’t alone in the world the night that they discover each other. Their wild ramble across the Scottish highlands in search of an absent father is told in a series of lyrical narratives that will immerse audiences in the action, forging a breathless drama of beauty in the darkness. |
