Sixties Kicks
a Harlequin original musical celebration
June 17 - July 17, 2010
A sequel to our summer smash hit, Sixties Chicks, this show will continue the celebration of sounds that rocked a generation and gave a voice to a new world. The sixties brought us folk rock, surf rock, the British invasion, psychedelic rock, heavy metal and outlandish new ways to experience and express the uniquely American dream.
Dr. Jekyll & Mr.Hyde
adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher
August 26 - September 18, 2010
In this brilliant new adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous novel, six actors play all of the characters in the story. Four of them play Mr. Hyde, among many others. One of them plays Elizabeth, an entirely new character that shifts the focus of the story from a black and white vision of good and evil to the foggy gray areas that lie between.
“...a smart, tense and suspenseful new take on Stevenson’s look at the evil that lurks in the hearts of men.”
San Francisco Chronicle
The Taming of the Shrew
by William Shakespeare
October 7 - 30, 2010
Everyone wants to marry the beautiful Bianca, but her Father won’t consider any of her suitors until he’s successfully married off to her cantankerous older sister, Kate. Along comes Petruchio, seeking his fortune and a wife. The desperate suitors hire him to woo and tame “Kate the curst,” and the battle of wills is on. But human will--of either the male or female variety--is no match for the boy cupid. A classic love story of hilariously ferocious proportions!
