| Music by RICHARD RODGERS Book & Lyrics by OSCAR HAMMRESTEIN II Original Dances by AGNES DE MILLE Based on the play “Green Grow the Lilacs" by LYNN RIGGS Produced by LANCASTER OPERA HOUSE Celebrate the 70th Anniversary of this classic musical. Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story set in a Western Indian territory just after the turn of the century. Although the road to true love never runs smoothly, with these two headstrong romantics holding the reins, love's journey is as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road. With a wonderful score including “People Will Say We're in Love”, “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin' ”, and of course the rousing title song, this show set the standards and established the rules of musical theatre still being followed today. Tickets: $22 Adult, $20 Student/Senior h/c access, $ | ||

| New Play Workshop Selection March 1 – March 24, 2013 A World Premiere Play by Donna Hoke Directed Kristen Tripp Kelley Married PhD scientist Marjorie has been trying to get pregnant for years, while her single, identical twin Josephine has three children by three different fathers. Fed up with infertility and pressure from her otherwise ideal husband Aidan to have children, Marjorie starts to wonder: is it so wrong to not want to be a parent? Aidan – never fully at ease with being adopted himself – isn’t ready to give up his quest for a biological child. When Josephine offers egg donor surrogacy as the “ideal” solution, salesman Aidan gives the pitch of his life and convinces his hesitant wife to inseminate Josephine personally – in their living room – an awkward scenario which prompts a recollection of a long-ago encounter that sheds new light on Aidan and Jo’s unspoken bond. Aidan and Jo bond over the resulting pregnancy, but Marjorie is unable to connect to the idea of motherhood. When baby Joseph is born early and with serious health issues, Aidan embraces his new role as a father, but Marjorie’s inability to accept the situation is obvious, particularly to sister Jo and their mother, Kay, a dubious role model for motherhood herself. As fears over Joseph’s prognosis increases, the insecurities that brought the sisters to this point come to the fore… and Marjorie’s crisis of faith may prove insurmountable… The decision that Marjorie and Josephine arrive at makes for the potent resolution to this unique and moving family drama… h/c access, $ | ||
