VANYA & SONIA
& MASHA & SPIKE
by Christopher Durang
e N OV E M B E R 2 7 – D E C E M B E R 3 1 , 2 0 1 5
The 20th show in the Series, Stardust Christmas Dazzle takes us to Christmas 1959 when a
mysterious wealthy aristocrat arrives with a very special offer for the Stardust gang: to either give
him a chance at show business or he’ll buy the building and tear it down! Music and comedy from
the fabulous fifties. Holiday fun for the whole family! Musical Comedy for all ages.
JANUARY 21 – FEBRUARY 13, 2016
In this Tony Award-winning play, playwright Christopher Durang mashes Chekhov, Greek tragedy
and modern pop culture with his own offbeat sensibility to create truly unique and hilarious
comedy. Your heart has to go out to three siblings whose artsy parents named them after
characters from Chekhov. Vanya and Sonia have lived at home while sister Masha has travelled the
world starring in B-movies. Now Masha is back with her boy toy Spike in tow, and she’s intent on
selling the house. Farce ensues. Adult Comedy - Some strong language.
MARCH 3 – 26, 2016
HEDDA GABLER
by Henrik Ibsen
THE LANGUAGE ARCHIVE
by Julia Cho
1889: Hedda Gabler has returned from an extended honeymoon with her kind but tediously
academic husband. Beautiful and self-possessed, but also haunted, she is already bored with
marriage. Suffocated by bourgeois society and disdainful of intellectual pursuits, she tries to fulfill
her aimless desires by manipulating the fates of those around her...with tragic results. Ibsen’s
Hedda Gabler is a fascinating, paradoxical portrait of a woman slipping into despair as her options
narrow in a world expanding for both sexes. Mature Drama.
M AY 5 – 2 8 , 2 0 1 6
George studies dead languages and is busy trying to record the conversations of the last two speakers
of one such endangered language, Elloway. But despite his vast knowledge of languages, George is
inept in the language of love. He doesn’t know what to say to his wife, Mary, to keep her from leaving
him. This beautiful, modern-mythic comedy is a delightful exploration of the terrifying inadequacy of
language to bridge the distance between human beings. Comic Drama - Some strong language.
e J U N E 2 3 – J U LY 2 4 , 2 0 1 6
SUMMER MUSICAL
The possibilities are still being explored, but be assured that Harlequin will be continuing in
the grand tradition of the big summer musical that has rocked the house since 2002v. Expect
irresistible American popular song and dance with some of the best performers and musicians in
the region bringing you real live rock ‘n’ roll. All ages.
e AUGUST 18 – SEPTEMBER 10, 2016
THE LAST FIVE YEARS
In this unique musical, Tony Award-winning composer, Jason Robert Brown, explores a five-year
relationship between Jamie Wellerstein, a rising novelist, and Cathy Hiatt, a struggling actress. The show
chronicles the young couple’s romance in a new and exciting way: her story starts at the end of their
relationship; his begins on the day they met. The songs are presented in alternating solos with the two of
them only singing together in the middle at the wedding. Funny and heartbreaking, the show captures
some of the most joyful, painful and universally felt moments of modern romance. All ages with guidance.
