A Note from Producing Artistic Director,
Joey Price…
Forge Your Path
We are thrilled to welcome you on the extraordinary journey that is our 78th season, as we invite you to Forge Your Path. Each of our productions this year explores the courage and resilience it takes to find one’s own way in the world. No matter where you are on your journey, we hope these stories will inspire you to embrace adventure, face challenges, and discover the power within yourself.
Our season begins with the timeless classic Annie, a story of optimism and perseverance in the face of hardship. Annie’s journey reminds us that even in our darkest moments, we can always hope for a brighter tomorrow. Then, we venture into the icy world of Frozen Jr., where two sisters learn that true strength comes not from fear, but from embracing who they truly are.
In Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, we follow Minli, a young girl who dares to seek her own destiny beyond what she has always known. Her journey to change her family’s fortune is a testament to the power of storytelling and believing in the impossible. From there, we dive into the hilarious and heartfelt tale of Shrek, where an unlikely hero discovers that being true to oneself is the greatest adventure of all.
Our season continues with A Bad Case of Stripes: The Musical, a colorful story about self-acceptance and the courage to embrace individuality. And finally, we close Season 78 with the sweeping epic Les Misérables, where characters fight for freedom, redemption, and the pursuit of a better future – each forging their own path in the face of adversity.
Through these stories, we celebrate the dreamers, the adventurers, and the misfits who dare to carve their own way. We invite you to join us in the audience, experience the magic of live theatre, and be inspired by these unforgettable journeys.
