Series
All performances begin at 7pm unless otherwise listed.  The Crucible by Arthur Miller This compelling drama about a young farmer, his wife, and a servant girl who maliciously causes the wife's arrest for witchcraft, won the Tony award for Best Play in 1953, at the height of the McCarthy inquisition. The farmer brings the girl to court to admit the lie—and it is here that the monstrous course of bigotry and deceit is terrifyingly depicted. This exciting drama about the Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem is both a gripping historical play and a timely parable of our contemporary society. November 11, 12, 13, 18, 19 and 20 Lowden Theatre for the Performing Arts  HairsprayBook by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan Music and Lyrics by Marc Shaiman Additional Lyrics by Scott Wittman This fun-loving new musical delights audiences by sweeping them away to 1960's Baltimore, where the 50's are out -- and change is in the air. Loveable plus-size heroine, Tracy Turnblad, has a passion for dancing, and wins a spot on the local TV dance program, "The Corny Collins Show." Overnight she finds herself transformed from outsider to teen celebrity. Can a larger-than-life adolescent manage to vanquish the program's reigning princess, integrate the television show, and find true love (singing and dancing all the while, of course!) without mussing her hair? February 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19, 24, 25 and 26 Lowden Theatre for the Performing Arts  DREAM Based on A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare DREAM is a creative collaboration incorporating movement, music and magic: a fun-filled interpretation of Shakespeare set on the playground of the imagination.

 Southern
HospitalityA Jones-Hope-Wooten Comedy The Futrelle Sisters—Frankie, Twink, Honey Raye and Rhonda Lynn—are in trouble again. Their beloved hometown, Fayro, Texas, is in danger of disappearing, and it's up to the sisters to save it from extinction. Ever since the Super SmartMart and the rendering plant closed, folks have been leaving Fayro in droves, but Honey Raye, with a major assist from her former nemesis, Geneva Musgrave, has come up with a possible solution. It seems a salsa manufacturing factory is looking to relocate, and a company representative is headed to Fayro on a scouting mission. How the Futrelle sisters and the other citizens of Fayro pull together and save their town is a testament to Southern strength and ingenuity—and a recipe for total hilarity. October 14, 15, 16, 21, 22 and 23 Academy Theatre Black Box It's A Wonderful Life - A Live Radio Play Adapted by Joe Landry From the Screenplay by Goodrich, Swerling and Frank Capra Inspired by the classic American film, this play is performed as a Christmas Eve 1946 radio studio broadcast with a live audience and live sound effects. This nostalgic journey pays homage to the Capra film, and also a simpler time when radio was the chief source of entertainment. It reminds us all of those things that are most important: family, friends and togetherness. We encourage you to make this show a part of your holiday wish list. December 2, 3, 4, 9, 10 and 11 Academy Theatre Black Box The Case for Showcase The upperclass of the Las Vegas Academy Theatre Department conceives, produces and performs this showcase grounded in theatrical standards, as well as cutting-edge material based in their studies of theatre as the Human Condition. Not merely a showcase of classroom scenes, but rather a culmination of their years of classroom and co-curricular work in the department, this evening will showcase the dynamic nature of our programs of study, and include work from the many disciplines of fine arts at LVA: a unique offering of art for our community. April 28, 29, 30, May 4, 5 and 6 Academy Theatre Black Box |
