Nunsense - Music and Lyrics by Dan Goggin

(October 8 - 31, , PLUS THREE ADDED PERFORMANCES OF NUNSENSE!! Wednesday, 10/28 @ 7:30 pm; Thursday, 10/29 @ 7:30 pm; Saturday, 10/31 @ 3 pm. Call the box office for your tickets now!!) The Little Sisters of Hoboken need to raise money to bury the sisters accidentally poisoned by the convent cook’s tainted vichyssoise! With the deceased nuns on ice in deep freeze, the five surviving sisters decide the best way to fundraise funeral dough is to put on a telethon variety show in the Mount Saint Helen’s School auditorium. Pun intended, Nunsense is “habit forming!” The hysterical antics of these five nuns include a wannabe ballerina, a streetwise nun from Brooklyn and an amnesiac who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head. This show has become an international phenomenon bordering on cult classic. These sisters may be on their way to heaven, but they are here to raise some hell!


Plaid Tidings

(November 27 - December 20) Dreaming of a Plaid Christmas? You're in luck: The hilarious, heavenly quartet is back by popular demand! Join Sparky, Jinx, Frances, and Smudge as they sing swingin' holiday favorites! They are an exceptional quartet, singing in the closest of harmony and executing their charmingly outlandish choreography with over-zealous precision.

The "Plaids" are a guaranteed smash, with a program of beloved songs and delightful patter that keeps audiences rolling in the aisles when they’re not humming along to some of the great nostalgic pop and Christmas hits of the '50s and '60s. The four checkered guys harmonize scads of holiday standards that have been "plaid-erized." Our audiences have literally begged for us to bring this one back for the holidays, and we heard you.


Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat - Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Lyrics by Tim Rice

(January 28 - February 20) The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to vibrant life in this enchanting musical parable. Joseph’s father declares him the favorite son to the dismay of his eleven insatiably jealous brothers. Blessed with prophetic dreams, Joseph endures a series of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged. One of the all-time favorites from the team of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, "Joseph" is 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.


Rent - Book, Music and Lyrics by Jonathan Larson

(March 11 - April 3) Capital Playhouse will proudly be the first local theatre to produce Jonathan Larson’s Pulitzer-prize winning Broadway musical. Based loosely on Puccini’s opera La Bohème, Rent follows a year in the lives of seven friends living the disappearing Bohemian lifestyle in New York’s East Village. Struggles with love, drugs and AIDS – both its physical and emotional complications – pervade the lives of an aspiring filmmaker, a public interest lawyer lesbian, a drug addicted exotic dancer, a gay anarchist, a yuppie sell-out and a drag queen street musician. Overwhelmingly popular, Rent is the winner of five Drama Desk Awards and three Tony Awards®. Though tragic, controversial and coarse, Rent always leaves the audience with a sense of hope.


Annie - Book by Thomas Meehan, Music by Charles Strouse, Lyrics by Martin Charnin

Eleven-year-old Annie is ever-hopeful that she will find her parents, who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City orphanage presided over by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan. In the course of her Christmas season, Annie foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations, befriends President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and finds a new home and family with billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary Grace Farrell and a lovable mutt named Sandy.
