New Musical ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE to Premiere at The Blue Theatre in February
All the World's a Stage is a new musical that tells the beautiful story of life. The actors of this devised production tell personal stories of the many common experiences that connect us: birth, coming of age, love and relationships, career, loss of loved ones, aging and the greatest mystery of them all. The stories are connected by Shakespeare's concept that 'All the world is a stage,' and that even if the details of our lives vary, we all share many of the same great moments.

Lifeline Theatre's MR. POPPER'S PENGUINS - EXTENDED through December 13

Holmquist, based on the novel by Richard and Florence Atwater. Money is tight and times are tough in the town of Stillwater.
