JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT By Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice Director: Jesse Cannady January 16- February 1 The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to vibrant life in this delightful musical parable. Joseph, his father's favorite son, is a boy blessed with prophetic dreams. Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso to bubble-gum pop and rock 'n' roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless. THE WIZARD OF OZ Based on the Classic MGM Movie Director: Mark Saltalamachia February 20- March 8 Little Dorothy Gale of Kansas, like so many girls her age, dreams of what lies over the rainbow. One day a twister hits her farm and carries her away over the rainbow to another world. Based on the 1939 MGM film of the same name, the story comes brightly to stage and invites you to join Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, the Cowardly Lion and Toto as they travel the universe of Dorothy's imagination. ENCHANTED APRIL By Matthew Barber, from the Novel by Elizabeth von Arnim Director: Andy Ford April 3-19 (No performance April 12) When two frustrated London housewives decide to rent a villa in Italy for a holiday away from their bleak marriages, they recruit two very different English women to share the cost and the experience. There, among the wisteria blossoms and Mediterranean sunshine, all four bloom again—rediscovering themselves in ways that they—and we—could never have expected. Event: Murfreesboro Magic April 24 & 25 CLUE: THE MUSICAL Based on the Parker Brother’s Board Game Director: TBA May 7-17 Based on the popular board game, this rousing, fun-filled musical brings the world's best-known mystery suspects to life on the stage. The suspects sing, dance and joke their way into your heart... or into suspicion, as you guess which one of the 216 possible endings, different every performance, is the answer to: whodunit, in what room, with what weapon. THE SOUND OF MUSIC By Oscar Hammerstein and Richard Rogers Director: Tony Cimino June 12-28 Based on the uplifting true story of the Von Trapp family, The Sound of Music marked the final collaboration of the legendary songwriting duo of Rogers and Hammerstein.

I LOVE YOU, YOU’RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE Director: Matt Smith September 10-20 This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum know as "the relationship." The hilarious revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, to those who have dared to ask, "Say, what are you doing Saturday night?" ARSENIC AND OLD LACE By Joseph Kesselring Director: TBA October 8-18 Mortimer Brewster hates his job, but otherwise life is perfect—he’s got a smart, beautiful fiancée and two doting aunts. The only catch? These two sweet spinsters have a secret mission and a recipe for elderberry wine that really packs a punch. Will Mortimer make it to his wedding day, or fall victim to the family insanity first? Event: Murfreesboro Magic October 23 & 24 SNOW ANGEL By David Lindsay-Abaire Director: TBA November 5-15 When the quiet town of Deerpoint, Vermont is hit by the biggest blizzard in 107 years, a mysterious girl named Eva steps out of a snow bank and into the lives of 15 confused teenagers who are asked to help her in her search.
