The songs of Harvard mathematics professor Tom Lehrer (The Vatican Rag, National Brotherhood Week, New Math, The Masochism Tango and many more) delighted audiences world-wide during the 1950s and 1960s.

Mr. Lehrer's music was also heard on NBC's cutting edge comic news show That Was The Week That Was, as well as on the Childrens Television Workshop show The Electric Company (Silent E, L-Y).

Now, this timeless revue, created in 1984 by Cats/Phantom of the Opera producer Cameron Mackintosh based on Lehrer's hilariously cynical songs, comes to North Carolina for the first time in October. The eight-person local cast will take you on a comic voyage the likes of which you have never been on before pollution, love, religion, sex, intolerance, nuclear power no subject is sacred in Mr. Lehrer's slightly off-center world!

Note: Is there more information about the show available? Yes, there is a lot of additional information about the show including a synopsis, a listing of the music and a listing of the cast at our website at www.stagelightproductions.org. We encourage you to check it out! Will there be an opportunity to meet with the cast or production staff? After each performance, the cast will be available to meet with you in the theater, lobby or courtyard. How many seats are there and are they reserved? Kennedy Theatre at the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts is an intimate theater with very comfortable cushioned flexible seating for 100-150. For Tomfoolery, our performances will be configured for approximately 125 seats which are general admission, first-come, first-served. To use an old cliched expression, "There's not a bad seat in the house!" When should we arrive and when do we get to go into the theater? There is limited lobby space downstairs and a courtyard for waiting in line before we open the theater. The theater will open approximately 30 minutes before each performance for patrons. What about parking and restaurants? Parking in downtown Raleigh is easy! There are several parking lots across the street from the Progress Energy Center. There are also many excellent restaurants in downtown, just a few minutes' walk away. Are you able to accomodate people with disabilities? Absolutely, but we will need to assist you as we are limited somewhat in this regard. We would appreciate it if you let us know in advance by e-mail (tickets@stagelightproductions.org) if you will be needing assistance. How late can I buy tickets? We will keep sales for most shows open on-line until we are sold out or eight hours before the performance. We will post a notice on this site indicating whether tickets are still available at the box office for the next performance. For the latest information, you can also call the Stagelight Productions ticket line toll-free at 877-29-STAGE and get an update. Can I have my tickets mailed to me? Unfortunately, that is not possible. Due to ticket sales restrictions, we can only honor will call ticket purchases through this web site. Please bring your printed confirmation email with you to the theater along with photo ID. We apologize for the inconvenience but we appreciate your understanding.
