Our 2011 Season is now over, but we're going to leave this page up for a while as a retrospective of some great live theatre and wonderful choral music.

Broadway to Hollywood

April 1, 2, & 3, 2011

Rodgers & Hart:
A Celebration

May 20 to June 12, 2011

Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Lorenz Hart
Concept by Richard Lewine and John Fearnley

From their first hit song in 1925 through their final show-stopper in 1943, the prolific team of Rodgers & Hart was continually redefining the musical theatre with its wit, freshness and intelligence. In this rousing pastiche, the first act sets the stage for romance while the second act is comprised of their more satiric gems. The brief narration highlights the Rodgers & Hart story, but it's the songs that explain their success. Perhaps Irving Berlin summed it up best: "Tuneful and tasty, schmaltzy and smart-music by Rodgers, lyrics by Hart."


 

Bach to Bebop



July 22, 23, & 24, 2011

Four centuries of vocal favorites brought to you by the Morrisson Theatre chorus.



 

September 2 to 25, 2011

British talk-show host David Frost has become a lowbrow laughing-stock. Richard M. Nixon has just resigned the United States presidency in disgrace over Vietnam and the Watergate scandal. Determined to resurrect his career, Frost risks everything on a series of interviews in order to extract an apology from Nixon. The cagey Nixon, however, is equally bent on redeeming himself in his nation’s eyes. In the television age, both men are desperate to upstage each other. The result is the interview that sealed a president’s legacy.


 

November 11 to December 4, 2011

The show that opened the Douglas Morrisson Theatre in 1979, and has remained one of the most requested musicals by our audiences, makes for a dramatic, richly textured and uplifting tale of enormous fascination. In 1862 an English widow and her young son arrive at the Royal Palace in Siam, where she is to serve as tutor to the King's many children and wives. While keeping a firm grip on their traditions and values, Anna and the King grow to understand and, eventually, respect one another in a unique love story. The ballet, "The Small House of Uncle Thomas," is one of the all-time marvels of the musical stage.


 

In the Holiday Spirit

December 16, 17, & 18, 2011

Classic songs for a special time of the year, presented by the Morrisson theatre chorus.
