Announces 2007-2008 Season Schedule Based on Mark Twain's incredible story of Huck Fin, this musical tells the tale of a boy making his way down the Ohio and the wondrous people he happens to meet upon the way. October 2 – 20, 2007 Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible,
No Good, Very Bad Day (School/Family Performances) You'll laugh until milk comes out of your nose. Alexander could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. He went to sleep with gum in his mouth and woke up with gum in his hair. When he got out of bed, he tripped over his skateboard and by mistake dropped his sweater in the sink while the water was running. He could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. October 10– 12, 2007 Pentecost An art historian discovers an ancient fresco in an abandoned Romanesque structure. The painting sparks controversies about national identity, ownership and community. People from a multitude of cultures must communicate to achieve asylum in the country. November 6–15, 2007 As You Like It As You Like It spoofs many of the conventions of poetry and literature dealing with love, such as the idea that love is a disease that brings suffering and torment to the lover, or the assumption that the male lover is the slave or servant of his mistress. These ideas are central features of the courtly love tradition, which greatly influenced European literature for hundreds of years before Shakespeare’s time. November 28–December 12, 2007 PUSH Set in a metaphorical Los Angeles, it is a poignant and funny story of an array of young contemporary people who get pushed off balance by life’s external forces that then send them forward into unexpected decisions, sudden twists of fate, unintended choices, and for some, into each other’s lives in unique and unpredictable ways. February 6–22, 2008 Die Fledermaus Gabriel von Eisenstein does not let his marriage to Rosalinde stand in the way of frequent dalliances with the lithe young ladies of the corps de ballet. On his way to serve a brief jail term for insulting a public official, Eisenstein attends Prince Orlofsky’s party where he woos a glamorous Hungarian countess, who turns out to be none other than Rosalinde, seeking—and getting—her revenge for her husband’s indiscretions. February 20–March 2, 2008 Word Up!, Insight to the Hip Hop
