*As You Like It*: Escape to the Forest of Arden, a pastoral refuge where
romance, wit and gender-bending high jinx rule.  The plot of this much
beloved comedy follows our heroine, Rosalind, who flees from the corrupt
court to the country, disguised as a young man, to reunite with her
banished father. There she encounters, Orlando, whom she must teach the
true meaning of love before revealing her female identity. This
family-friendly adaptation will include wrestling, clowning and a live
band. It promises to be the bash of the summer!

*Come Back, Little Sheba* by William Inge, the second production of our
sixth season.  This powerful drama is a lovingly honest, sometimes
humorous, portrait of a middle-aged couple, Lola and Doc, and their
everyday struggle with past regrets, unfulfilled dreams and sobriety. Now
an American classic, it was the first Broadway hit by the Pulitzer Prize
winning author of Picnic, Bus Stop, and Splendor in the Grass.

*The Secret Garden.  *Based upon the 1910 children’s classic, this is the
story of the contrary young orphan, Mary Lennox, who is sent to live with
her Uncle Craven in the forbidding Misselthwaite Manor. There she finds a
secret garden where she and her sickly cousin Colin gradually discover the
healing power of Nature. This adaptation was originally commissioned and
performed by the renowned Children’s Theater Company of Minneapolis
