Barnum tells the story of the Prince of Humbug, Phineas Taylor Barnum. Over the objections of his wife, Charity, Barnum attempts to create a show in which the main attractions are freaks of society. Included in this mix of characters includes the oldest women alive, Joice Heth, the smallest man in the world, Tom Thumb, and to top it all off, a glamorous Swedish opera singer, Jenny Lind. Eventually, to appease Charity, Barnum agrees to give up the show and start a normal life. In the end, after Charity dies, Barnum returns to the circus business in grand fashion by forming a partnership with James A. Baily. Thus, the two men form The Greatest Show on Earth.

Kiss Me, Kate

May 12th – May 19th 2012

Cole Porter’s wit meets Shakespeare’s humor in one of American Theater’s most beloved musical comedies.  Kiss Me Kate is the raucous and romantic backstage story of a musical out of town in 1948.  It’s “Too Darn Hot” in Baltimore where formerly married actors Fred and Lilli are cast opposite each other in a musical version of “The Taming of the Shrew.”  The sparks fly onstage and off using a classic score which includes “So in Love,” “Another Op’nin’, Another Show,” “From This Moment On,” and “Brush Up Your Shakespeare.”

Director: Bruce Murray.
