Stand By Your Man: The Tammy Wynette Story
Country Musical | Written by Mark St. Germain
June 3 - June 15
The musical chronicles the life of the First Lady of Country Music. Best known for her runaway hit "Stand By Your Man" in 1968 - a song she said she wrote in 15 minutes - Wynette lived a complicated and often tumultuous life that saw her married five times. While this musical biography covers plenty of Wynette's musical career, and includes 26 of Wynette's hit songs, it also looks at Wynette's personal life, which includes a bizarre 1978 abduction that saw Wynette taken from Nashville shopping center and beaten - a crime that was never solved. A thoroughly moving and entertaining musical, Stand By Your Man promises something for everyone.
Unnecessary Farce
Farce | Written by Paul Slade Smith
June 17 - June 29
Deadly bagpipes, a bumbling mayor, incompetent cops, the Highland Clan's Big Mac and the infamous Highland Hitman - who, it is said, always dons a kilt and plays the bagpipes before making a kill - all converge on a hotel room where the city's new accountant discovers embezzlement. The day does not start off well when two inexperienced police officers bumble the videotape surveillance and record more than they bargained for. To crack the case the officers must overcome their fear of the dark, guns, enclosed spaces, and the opposite sex. Unnecessary Farce delivers a huge laugh with its raucous comedic twists and turns.
Disney's Beauty and the Beast
Musical | Music by Alan Menken, Lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice
July 1 - July 20
The classic love story of Belle, a kind-hearted but misunderstood young woman, and the Beast, a pompous prince who has been turned into an animal by the spell of an enchantress. The only chance the Beast has of breaking the spell is to learn both how to love and how to be loved, lessons for which he turns to Belle for help. Based on a well-known French fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast was released as a film by Walt Disney Pictures in 1991, where its state-of-the-art animation and profoundly relevant story line made it popular with children and adults alike. The elements that make Beauty and the Beast so magical onscreen translate beautifully to the stage, where its grandeur and scale promises to thrill Playhouse theater-goers.

GLORIOUS!
Comedy | Written by Peter Quilter
August 19 - August 31
The true story of Florence Foster Jenkins, the worst singer in the world.
Step back in time to New York in the 1940s. At the time, the city was a haven for eccentric characters struggling to make their mark. One New York socialite and aspiring opera singer, Florence Foster Jenkins, became an immensely popular musical performer through the sheer strength of her personality, the devoted support of her adoring friends, and the unabashed self-confidence about the beauty of her stupendously horrendous singing voice. The play follows Foster-Jenkins from charity recitals and extravagant balls all the way to Carnegie Hall.
