2018 Season
The Glorious Ones
February 22-24 and March 1-3 at 7:30 p.m. Adults $12 Students $10 Both slapstick and serious, the musical tells how the troupe came to be and how it captured the public's adoration with its bawdy comedy... before changing artistic fashion altered its way of life. It follows seven archetypal characters – the charismatic leading man, the sly harlequin, the quack doctor, the old miser, the voluptuous leading lady, the devoted dwarf and the elegant Moon Woman – as they search for immortality and love. In their search for glory and fame, the characters are thrown out of France by the religious court because of their "lewd" performances. The leading man, Flaminio, struggles with the court's decision and how it it affects his life as a performer. Smutty and nutty, yet sentimental and deeply moving, The Glorious Ones has "one hand on the crotch, and one hand on the heart." |

Grease
August 9-11 and 16-18 at 7:30 p.m. Adults $12 Students $10 The 3-time Tony Award best musical winner for the original and twice revived productions is coming to CAST for the third time! The first was in our opening season in 1983, and it was produced again eleven years ago. Here is Rydell High's senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding "Burger Palace Boys" and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking "Pink Ladies" in bobby sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950s in this rollicking musical. Get out your saddle shoes and bobby-socks and grease those DA’s because “Those Summer Nights” are back! |

Nevermore: The Imaginary Life &
Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe October 18-20 and 25-27 at 7:30 p.m. Adults $12 Students $10 This is a unique and wildly theatrical musical play combining haunting music, poetic storytelling, and stunning stagecraft to tell the fascinating and moving life story of iconic American writer Edgar Allan Poe. A literary rock star in his day, Poe struggled with tragedy and addiction, poverty and loss, yet produced some of the world’s most original, visionary and enduring literature before dying in unexplained circumstances at the age of 40. At once gorgeous and grotesque, this show blurs the line between fact and fiction. |

Mayhem ensues with cross-dressing and wigs, naughty double-entendres, and witty songs. Fast paced and funny, this bawdy, raucous musical is set in a British Music Hall at the turn-of-the-century. Don’t miss this raucous holiday treat! |
