At turns introspective, romantic, and joyously hopeful, 110 IN THE SHADE is a poignant look at romance in a drought-stricken Depression-era town. Sharp-witted but insecure, rancher's daughter Lizzie is resolving herself to live out life as a spinster until charming stranger Starbuck comes to town with the promise to make it rain, encouraging Lizzie to dream beyond her own view of herself. Meanwhile, the town Sheriff must deal with the con man as well as coming to terms with his own past. This beautiful show boasts a score by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones (best known for the longest-running musical in history, THE FANTASTICKS).

"It is such a privilege to be able to tell the incredible story of 110 IN THE SHADE," said Director Josh Marx. "Not only is this a story about enduring hope through trying times, but it also talks about finding beauty in unconventional places - and what it means to in fact 'be beautiful'. The cast and designers for this project are absolutely stellar, and we are geared up for this to be a truly remarkable experience and an incredible show."

110 IN THE SHADE runs about two hours and thirty minutes, including one intermission.
