<p>Three tenors. Three egos. One stage. What could possibly go wrong? Producer– and former mayor of Cleveland– Henry Saunders is about to find out as he attempts to stage the concert of the century. But with an amorous Italian superstar and his hot-blooded
wife causing chaos on an operatic level, all bets are off! As opening night draws near, flaring tempers, mistaken identities, and bedroom hijinks bring new meaning to the phrase “the show must go on.”</p>

<p>The village of Salem is run wild with tales of witchcraft. Deep-seated jealousies, lust and greed are bubbling to the surface from the heat of each neighbor’s exaggerated accusations. Revenge has replaced reason; mere rumors are now damning evidence - and
no one is safe. Astoundingly relevant, Arthur Miller’s controversial American classic dares to put us all on trial<span style="text-decoration: underline;">.</span></p>

an unquenchable thirst for…human blood! Mixing Motown, B-movies, and The American Dream,
<em>Little Shop of Horrors </em>is a screamingly funny, gleefully twisted, out-of-this-world hit musical.</p>

<p>Honey. It’s the 1980s. In Louisiana. At Truvy’s beauty shop—motto: “there is no such thing as natural beauty”—the women are all sass and brass. Through clouds of hairspray and over the buzz of blow dryers, six southern spitfires gather each week to gossip
and support each other through thick and thin. But those bonds are about to be tested when M’Lynn and her daughter Shelby face a life-changing event. Infused with heart and humor,
<em>Steel Magnolias</em> is a hilarious story of love, loss, and enduring friendship. <br>
