SEPT 14 - OCT 19, 2024
The setting: ancient Rome. A slave wishes to be free, and will do anything to accomplish that goal. And "anything" includes lying, cheating, stealing, pimping, dressing his extremely nervous friend as a virgin, and, perhaps worst of all...sprinkling horse sweat around town (yes, you read that right...). Sound crazy? You betcha!

The brilliant composer Stephen Sondheim created a stunning tour-de-force when he turned Ingmar Bergman's comedy-of-manners film, "Smiles of a Summer Night", into a musical of masterful execution and elegance. Nominated for 11 Tony Awards (and winner of five, including Best Musical of 1973), this Sondheim classic not only features one of the most well-known songs in Broadway history ('Send in the Clowns').
