RAGTIME: IN CONCERT
Book by TERRENCE MCNALLY
Music by STEPHEN FLAHERTY
Lyrics by LYNN AHRENS
Based on the novel Ragtime by E.L. DOCTOROW
February 7 to 11, 2017
Orpheum Annex
At the dawn of a new century, everything is changing and anything is possible. Set in the volatile melting pot of turn-of-the-century New York, three distinctly American tales are woven together -- that of a stifled upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant and a daring young Harlem musician -- united by their courage, compassion and belief in the promise of the future. The TONY-winning score is just as diverse as the melting pot of America itself, drawing upon many musical styles from the ragtime rhythms of Harlem and Tin Pan Alley to the klezmer of the Lower East Side, from bold brass band marches to delicate waltzes, from up-tempo banjo tunes to period parlor songs and expansive anthems. A truly unique and powerful portrait of America.

PARADE
Music and Lyrics by JASON ROBERT BROWN
Book by ALFRED UHRY
April 14 to 29, 2017
Norman Rothstein Theatre
In 1913, Leo Frank, a Brooklyn-raised Jew living in Georgia, is put on trial for the murder of 13 year old Mary Phagan, a factory worker under his employ. Already guilty in the eyes of everyone around him, a sensationalist publisher and a janitor's false testimony seal Leo's fate. His only defenders are a governor with a conscience, and, eventually, his assimilated Southern wife who finds the strength to love and to become his greatest champion. Daring, innovative and bold, PARADE is filled with soaring music and a heart-wrenching story, offering a moral lesson about the dangers of prejudice and ignorance that should not be forgotten.

A CHORUS LINE
Music by MARVIN HAMLISCH
Lyrics by EDWARD KLEBAN
Book by JAMES KIRKWOOD & NICHOLAS DANTE
August 17 to September 2, 2017
Waterfront Theatre
A darkened theatre, a gruelling audition and a ensemble of dancers praying for a job. Multi-award winning A CHORUS LINE tells the story of the gypsies of the Broadway stage. When the director asks each of them a simple question "who are you?" their stories meld together through song, dance and story to provide them and the audience with an audition process unlike any of them have ever experienced. While not all will join the line, none will leave the same as they came in.
