GREASE | June 5 - 26
We’re back at Rydell High where the Greasers and Pink Ladies are up to no good!
Put on your leather jacket and bobby socks and get ready to shake a leg at the
dance! Featuring all of the songs you know and love from the hit movie, including
“You’re the One That I Want,” “Grease (is the word),” “Hopelessly Devoted to
You,” “Greased Lightning,” and more. Nonstop comedy, rock and roll, and killer
choreography make this an unforgettable sing along favorite. Rated PG.
DIXIE’S NEVER WEAR A TUBE TOP WHILE RIDING A MECHANICAL BULL
and 16 Other Things I Learned While Drinking Last Thursday | June 28 – July 3
Dixie Longate, America’s Favorite Tupperware lady, is at it again with a hilarious,
brand new show! What do a jeweled crown, a cardboard cut-out of Julie Andrews,
and a box of moon pies have in common? Put on your cowboy boots and walk into
her favorite honky-tonk as she shares lessons learned after a hard night of drinking!
GRAND HOTEL | July 10 - 31
1928. Berlin. The city is the epicenter of nightlife and frivolity and home to one of
the greatest crossroads of intrigue, luxury, romance and mystery– the Grand Hotel.
Check into the lavish establishment where the hopes and dreams of ten hotel
guests collide over one unforgettable night. Fueled by an epic score and non-stop,
stylish choreography, the stories intertwine to create a spellbinding song and dance
spectacle! Rated PG.
SOUTH PACIFIC | August 7 - 28
Based on James Michener’s Pulitzer Prize winning “Tales of the South Pacific,”
Rodgers and Hammerstein’s legendary musical bursts to life on the Playhouse
stage. Set against the backdrop of an island paradise during WWII, this musical
comedy features the iconic songs including “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta
My Hair,” “There is Nothin’ Like a Dame,” “Younger Than Springtime,” “Bali Ha’i,”
“Honeybun,” and the timeless “Some Enchanted Evening.” Rated PG.
WORKING, THE MUSICAL | Sept 4 - 21
The extraordinary musical about ordinary people. The hopes, dreams, and timeless
truths of the working American are the focus of this inspiring, unique, genre-
defining musical. With songs by James Taylor, Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton),
and Stephen Schwartz (Wicked) and based on Studs Terkel's best-selling book of
interviews with American workers, Working paints a vivid portrait of those whom the
world so often takes for granted. Rated PG.
REGIONAL PREMIERE!
LOCH NESS, A NEW MUSICAL | Sept 28 – Oct 13
On the mysterious waters of the Scottish Highlands, a young girl discovers herself –
and a legendary creature – in this epic new musical adventure. Equally hilarious and

where you least expect it. Perfect for the entire family. Rated G.
