A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC A Little Night Music Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Book by Hugh Wheeler. Orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick and Originally Produced and Directed on Broadway by Harold Prince. Inspired by the Ingmar Bergman film Smiles of a Summer Night, A Little Night Music is filled with desire, wit, jealousy, and regret.

Best know for “Send in the Clowns”, you are sure to be swept away in the tangled web if you join us for a “Weekend in the Country”.
This fresh, fast-paced comedy, inspired by the Aristophanes play, follows Lysistrata, an Athenian housewife, who calls for the women of Greece to help end the Peloponnesian War. She proposes a radical plan: all Greek women must refuse to engage in love making until the men see reason, lay down their arms and come home to lay down with their wives in peace. The women agree to make the sacrifice and all hell breaks loose as men wander the country in an agony of unsatisfied lust. Will Lysistrata and her crew accomplish what the politicians could not?
“Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.” Shakespeare’s rousing, thought-provoking play Henry IV dramatizes young crown prince Hal’s rise to the throne as King Henry V. Rebellions and foreign enemies aside, King Henry IV’s biggest challenge may prove to be fathering his son Hal and preparing him to be the future king of England. The crown prince spends his days carousing in taverns with his friend Sir John Falstaff, one of Shakespeare’s most dynamic and beloved characters. From the antics of the future king, to the rebellious threat of Hotspur and to the Battle of Shrewsbury, CRT’s production combines both Parts 1 & 2 of Shakespeare’s epic coming-of-age story of privilege, politics and power.

Girlfriend is a vibrant and tender coming of age musical duet from when flannel was the height of fashion and mix tapes were the language of love. It’s 1993 in small-town Nebraska during the summer between high school and whatever comes next, college-bound jock Mike and sensitive but awkward Will find themselves unexpectedly drawn to each other. In the rush of first-time love, the lines of friendship become blurred — it’s complicated. A vibrant coming of age story set to Matthew Sweet’s seminal pop rock album.
