 SCR
Presents: "The Fantasticks"
May 10 - June 9, 2013
A
carnival midway of magic, mischief and theatrical
thrills! Amanda Dehnert, celebrated throughout
the American theatre for re-imagining classics,
has added a multitude of visual delights and fantastical
illusions to the original charm and beautiful
ballads (like the haunting “Try to Remember”)
of The Fantasticks. When two scheming fathers
conspire with the mysterious El Gallo to keep
their daughter and son apart (to be sure they’ll
fall in love!) the dewy-eyed lovers venture into
the real world. But as fantasy turns to reality,
El Gallo is there to remind them that “without
the hurt, the heart is hollow” in one of the most
popular musicals of all time, which the Washington
Post calls, “Fresh and alive again.”

 SCR
Presents: "The Night Fairy"
May 24 - June 9, 2013
Theatre
for Young Audiences
Flory
is a fairy no taller than an acorn, who loses
her exquisite wings in a fight with a bat, falls
into the garden of a "Giantess" and takes up residence
in a birdhouse. This magical story from a Newbery
Medal winner is as visually bewitching as the
night fairy herself. But Flory is as fierce and
ferocious as she is elegant, and she's about to
discover that she needs every drop of bravery—and
equal amounts of understanding and compassion—in
her new life among the daylight creatures.

 Laguna
Playhouse presents: "Steel Magnolias"
April 30 – May 26, 2013
This heartwarming true story follows a group of
friends who gather each week at a salon in Chinquapin
Parish, Louisiana. Truvy dispenses shampoo and
advice to Ouiser, the town curmudgeon (“I’m not
crazy; I’ve just been in a bad mood for forty
years”), Miss Clairee, an eccentric millionaire
with a sweet tooth, and M’Lynn, whose daughter
Shelby is about to get married. Tough as steel
and fragile as the blossoms of magnoliatrees,
these hilarious characters gossip, tease, laugh,
fight, cajole, and comfort each other as they
go through life’s big joys and challenges.

 Cabrillo
Playhouse presents: "The Last Five Years"

7-30 , 2013
The
Last Five Years is a musical written by Jason
Robert Brown. It explores a five-year relationship
between Jamie Wellerstein, a rising novelist and
Cathy Hyatt, a struggling actress. The show uses
a form of storytelling in which Cathy's story
is told in reverse chronological order (begining
the show at the end of the marriage) and Jamie's
is told in chronological order (starting just
after the couple have first met). The characters
do not directly interact except for a wedding
song in the middle as their timelines intersect.
