"Sweeney Todd" (Musical)
The Weekend Theater,
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by Hugh WheelerThis allegory of capitalism and its selfish qualities won nine Tony awards including Best Musical and Best Book. Its characters are haunting and its music is delightfully dark and amusing. This horror-musical hybrid tells the story of a once carefree barber, Sweeney Todd, who was horribly wronged by a powerful judge. The barber returns from exile determined to have his revenge. He teams up with Mrs. Lovett, the pie maker, who longs for her pies to be edible. Sweeney, the demon barber of Fleet Street, takes to cutting some throats along with some hair, and the love-struck, energetically devious, and ultimately despondent Mrs. Lovett bakes his victims into the most delicious ‘meat’ pies in London. Working its way under the viewer’s skin, this intimate production shows us that sometimes melodrama is the most effective vehicle for capturing basic truths about the human condition. Directed by Andy Hall, Music Direction by Lori Isner.

"Godspell" (Musical)
The Weekend Theater, 7th and Chester
Score by Stephen Schwartz; book by John-Michael Tebelak.
Based on the Gospel according to St Matthew, Godspell deals with the last days of Jesus. Yet it is something more - a religious experience, a demonstration of joy, and a celebration of the family of man. Godspell is cheerfully irreverent, spirited, loving, sprinkled with wry humor and bolstered with a good selection of songs—rock, folk, country and pop—all neatly woven in and around the parables and teachings of Jesus. However, it is a show that is more respectful than it is respectable. Basically, Godspell is an agape — a love-feast —dedicated to light and joy and love. Directed by Jamie Scott Blakey, Music Direction by Lori Isner.
Fridays and Saturdays, curtain times are at 7:30pm, for special Sunday showings (Musicals only) curtain times are at 2:30pm.

When Nathan bets Sky that not even he can sweep prim and proper Sarah Brown off her feet, everyone gets more than they bargained for. One of the funniest and best written musicals of all time! "Guys and Dolls" is nothin' but high-livin', high-rollin', high-steppin' fun!

"Southern Baptist Sissies"
The Weekend Theater, 7th and Chester
By Del Shores.
A roller coaster of a play that takes audiences from heights of hilarity through outrageous anger, and into caves of depression and out again, this political and religious commentary is the story of four gay men in a Southern Baptist Church in Texas and the various ways they cope when they discover urges within themselves that go against the teachings of their church. The damage of religion that preaches intolerance and foments self-hatred and the repercussions of this brand of religion are seen throughout the boys’ trek from pre-adolescence to adulthood: the pain, the doubt, the self-loathing, the confusion. The script weaves together the characters’ stories inserting Bible passages that support, contradict and call into question the fundamentalists’ teachings about homosexuality. Directed by Ralph Hyman.

"Vital Signs"
The Weekend Theater, 7th and Chester
By Jane Martin.
With new signs of off-beat humor, rage and imagination in the female voice, Jane Martin proves again the infinite resonance of monologue form. Moving in new directions, Martin introduces a gallery of characters who shatter expectation, reinvent the ordinary and dignify the bizarre. With humor and pointed satire, the eclectic characters in Martin's play provide glimpses into the minds and hearts of over thirty complex women in this funny, unnerving, perceptive and offbeat tour-de-force for mature audiences. These monologues offer a collage about contemporary woman in all her warmth and majesty, fear and frustration, her joy and sadness. Directed by Julie Atkins.

"The Pillowman"
The Weekend Theater, 7th and Chester
By Martin McDonagh.
A kind of macabre fable, The Pillowman is a viciously funny and savage play which tells the tale of Katurian, a fiction writer living in a police state, who is interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories, and their similarities to a number of bizarre incidents occurring in his town. A detective story which takes unforeseen twists and turns, the production won the Drama Critics Circle Award and the Olivia Award for Best Play, and two Tony Awards. In style, The Pillowman is somewhere between the Brothers Grimm and Quentin Tarantino, with stories which return to the nightmare quality embodied in the world's original fairy tales. Dealing with the dangers of recognizing and dealing with child predators, this is not a play for children or for those easily upset by stage violence. Directed by Alan Douglas.
