Hansel and Gretel

Buy Tickets | November 20 & 22

If there was ever a story to emphasize “Stranger Danger,” then Hansel and Gretel is it! Similar to the original Grimm version, Engelbert Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel features a lush orchestra underscoring the well-known duet When at Night I Go to Sleep and The Witch’s Hop, Hop, Hop. And it still teaches children to never take candy from strangers.

SPECIAL OFFER! Buy one adult ticket and bring a child for FREE! Must mention promo code Gingerbread. Children 17 and younger.

La Traviata

September 25 & 27

Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata explores the world of the French courtesan Violetta and her doomed love of Alfredo, a member of the wealthy class. The touching score is filled with lavish party scenes and unforgettable music often heard in pop culture.

Of Mice and Men

October 30 & November 1

Of Mice and Men, based on the John Steinbeck novella, is the story of George Milton and his child-like companion, Lennie Small; two migrant ranch hands in 1930 depression era California. They have a simple dream: to have a home and land of their own. Composer Carlisle Floyd emphasizes this dream with a tender ballad sung by George, One Day Soon.
