Songs of note: I Don't Know How To Love Him, Jesus Christ Superstar. The Story of the Andrews Sisters June 15 – July 9 Sisters of Swing tells more than a story about three sisters from Minneapolis who made it big. It tells a story about the American dream. It's wartime, and the Andrews Sisters are making their mark! From the cradle to the grave, follow the funny and heartfelt story of three women who helped define an era. There's Laverne, the "little mother." Maxene, the big mouth who always steps a little outside of the lines. And Patty, lead singer and the youngest of the trio, who simply adores the spotlight…all of the time. Experience their loves, losses, and laughs through all the popular music that made them famous! Songs of note: Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, Bei Meir Bist Du Schon (Means That You're Grand), Ac-Cen-Tchu-Ate the Positive.A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC June 29 - July 9 Stephen Sondheim's romantic and achingly beautiful ode to love!

Oh, but there are plenty of burning desires and unexpected passions to come for the two…from outside of the marriage bed, that is. Songs of note: Send in the Clowns, The Glamorous Life, You Must Meet My Wife. July 13 – 23 The legendary Mack the Knife comes alive on stage in this masterpiece by Bertholt Brecht and Kurt Weil. Macheath (Mack the Knife) is a leader of thieves. He's got the police well-greased. Women compete for his sexual attention. He's got a wife, a girlfriend, and a passionate connection on the side who also happens to be the daughter of his best friend – the police chief! It's a dark, musical comedy even your husband will love. Think The Sopranos meet Sweeney Todd!
