Next To Normal
The Human Race Theatre Company (@ The Victoria Theatre)

With provocative lyrics and a thrilling score, this musical shows how far two parents will go to keep themselves sane and their family’s world intact.
Dates: Closes Sunday 5/19
Tickets: Tickets are available via the Victoria Theatre Association website, here: tickets.
Opening This Weekend
The Pillowman

Dates: Opening Friday, 5/17 and running 3 weekends to close on Sunday, 6/2. Remember, at the Guild, the 2nd and 3rd Saturdays are at 5 pm.

The Sound Of Music
La Comedia Dinner Theatre
The Skinny: A little known musical gem about a would-be nun who battles Nazis. But seriously, folks – this is the well-loved classic, a perennial crowd pleaser. Join The Captain, Maria and all 7 children as they sing, dance and, eventually, cross the Alps.
Dates: Through June 30th.
