GRAND HOTEL (April 12-24), MacDonald-Heaslip Hall
The Grand Hotel is bustling with eccentric and sometimes dubious guests: amongst them a fading prima ballerina being forced to dance again; a fatally ill Jewish bookkeeper who wants to spend his final days living in luxury; a young, handsome, but destitute Baron; a cynical doctor suffering from World War I wounds; an honest businessman going bad as he faces financial ruin and a typist dreaming of Hollywood stardom. Behold these vibrant dramas as they spring to life in a whirlwind of music and dance. As the wealthy, poor, innocent, bitter, kind and cruel, all reveal their lifelong desires and passions, you’ll bask in the shimmering elegance that is…GRAND HOTEL!
Book by Luther Davis, Music and Lyrics by Robert Wright and George Forrest, Additional Music and Lyrics by Maury Yeston

SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE (APRIL 14-24), Studio Theatre
The days leading up to the completion of his most famous painting, Georges Seurat is struggling to make meaningful art and maintain a relationship with his lover Dot. Amid the scorn of the artistic community, Seurat’s artistic ability thrives while his love diminishes. A century later, Seurat’s descendant – named George and also an artist – finds himself burnt out and in search of what artistic path to follow, but he finds the answer to his future in the past. A deeply moving love story that connects the past to the future through passionate and intensely personal struggles that are not unlike ones we all face at different times in our lives.
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Book by James Lapine
Directed by Sue Miner
