HAPPY DAYS

BY SAMUEL BECKETT
Directed by Thom Molyneaux

 There are only two characters, a man and a woman, in Beckett's intellectual tickler, but there is always a plentitude of ideas and incisive comments on life. In the first of the two short acts Winnie is buried to her

waist, but still has access to all the civilized accoutrements: toothbrush, mirror, pistol. In the second act she is buried to her neck, and left to work with only her eyes and her mind. This is sufficient, though, for her happy days.
 

DECEMBER 7 – DECEMBER 16 

A LITTLE PRINCESS   
A YOUTH CONSERVATORY PRODUCTION
BOOK ADAPTED BY VERA MORRIS
MUSIC & LYRICS BY BILL FRANCOUER

This engaging musical adaptation of the classic by Frances Hodgson Burnett opens with a happy Sara Crewe, heiress to a large fortune. Enrolled at Miss Minchin's seminary in Victorian England, her life takes a dramatic turn when she receives news of the loss of her father... and her fortune. Sara is forced by the greedy Minchin to become a servant and live in a wretched attic room. When a mysterious gentleman from India moves next door, curious things begin to happen.
 

FEBRUARY 14 – MARCH 2

The Night Reginald Filbert Called It Quits
by Rex Knowles
Directed by Frank Licato

Reginald Filbert is a thirty-nine year old recently unemployed bachelor who shares an efficiency apartment with a fish named Moby, has never voted for a winning presidential candidate, has spent one-hundred-seventy-two-thousand-nine-hundred seconds (rounded up) searching for his door key, and has written one-thousand-nine-hundred-sixty-four (exactly) suicide notes. But what happens when an "escort" named Angel pays an unexpected visit may change his life forever. A laugh-out-loud examination of a life definitely worth living. Rated "F" for funny.

 
MARCH 14 - 16

              
A YOUTH CONSERVATORY PRODUCTION

BY KATE HAWLEY &
GREGG COFFIN

Directed by Michael Bias
The world’s most popular fairy tale gets the roll-in-the-aisle panto treatment in a madcap musical first performed to great acclaim by Shakespeare Santa Cruz in 1999. Chances to play along, nudge-nudge-wink-wink allusions and an ovine chorus of “baa-a-a-a-d” hoofers ensure that young and old alike will have a ball.


 

APRIL 24 – MAY 12

ADAPTED BY ALAN BENNETT

Directed by Michael Bias

This ingenious adaptation of the classic children's novel created a sensation at the National Theatre of , 

Great Britain. Here are Badger, Rat Mole and Toad of Toad Hall in the familiar tale with a contemporary slant. "I am almost as enthusiastic about Alan Bennett's adaptation ... as Ratty is about his river."-- Time Out. "This has to be the most dazzling and enjoyable show in the West End. I hope it wins heaps of awards."-- Daily Express. "Bennett has played fair with [the] original story while adding to it his own brand of astringent nostalgia and cryptic wit."-- Guardian. "A brilliantly theatrical piece of storytelling entertainment."-- Financial Times.

 

 

JUNE 6 – JUNE 14

                 
A YOUTH CONSERVATORY PRODUCTION

BOOK BY NEIL SIMON
MUSIC BY CY COLEMAN
LYRICS BY DOROTHY FIELDS

Have you ever known a girl who wanted something so badly, that she tried too hard to get it? Meet Charity, the girl who wants to be loved so much, that she has lost sight of who she is. Charity sings, dances, laughs and cries her way through romances with the "animal magnetism" hero, the

"ultra-chic continental" hero, and the "impossible-to believe-but-he's-better than nothing" type hero. Her world is the all too real world of Times Square, and the people who pass through her world are as deceptively charming a group as ever swept across any stage.
