HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES

BY SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE

ADAPTED BY STEVEN CANNY & JOHN NICHOLSON

DIRECTED BY BRENDAN BURKE

MAY 31 - JUNE 16

The Mainstage at SHADOWLAND STAGES

Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on his estate, with the paw prints of a gigantic hound beside his body. The great detective Sherlock Holmes is summoned, with Dr. Watson in tow. Together they unravel the mystery and investigate the ancient curse of the Hound of the Baskervilles . . .

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most celebrated Sherlock Holmes tail, er . . . tale, gets a gloriously funny makeover in this sublimely hilarious theatrical adaptation. If you liked last season’s THE 39 STEPS, then you’ll love this comic spoof that took England by storm.

“A mad hilarity that will make you feel quite sane.” -Sunday Times

“A wonderfully barking spoof!” -Telegraph

DEAR JACK, DEAR LOUISE

BY KEN LUDWIG DIRECTED BY STEPHEN NACHAMIE

A CO-PRODUCTION WITH PENGUIN REP THEATRE

JUNE 21 - JULY 7

The Studio at SHADOWLAND STAGES

US Army Captain Jack Ludwig begins writing to Louise Rabiner, an aspiring actress in NYC, hoping to meet her someday if WWII allows. But, as the war continues, it threatens their relationship before it even starts.

This joyous and heartwarming tale is told through the letters of the playwright’s parents. The results are anything but expected.

“An affecting love letter to unlikely romance! A poignant, funny tribute to the enduring power of human connection.” -The Washington Post

“A moving, funny, and heartbreaking reminder of what we should strive to become, individually and as a country.” -Broadway World

LEND ME A SOPRANO

BY KEN LUDWIG DIRECTED BY BRENDAN BURKE

JULY 12 - AUGUST 4

The Mainstage at SHADOWLAND STAGES

It’s 1934 and the Cleveland Grand Opera Company is ready to welcome world-class soprano Elena Firenzi for her one night only performance in the starring role of Carmen. When the great singer arrives late, her passionate husband explodes in a fit of jealousy. Despite the chaotic dance of slamming doors, mistaken identities, and epic egos … the show must go on!

This delightful farce, adapted from the author’s Tony Awardwinning LEND ME A TENOR, will have you singing with laughter!

“An undeniable crowd pleaser!”

-Houston Press

“Guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter.” -Broadway World

“A screwball delight, fast, furious and consistently funny!”

-Houston Chronicle

BEEHIVE, THE 60’S MUSICAL

CREATED BY LARRY GALLAGHER DIRECTED BY BRITTANY PROIA

AUGUST 9 - SEPT 8

The MainStage at SHADOWLAND STAGES

Told from the perspective of six young women who come of age during this enigmatic decade, BEEHIVE is a musical revue that celebrates the powerful female voices of the 1960’s - with songs like “Proud Mary”, “Me and Bobby McGee”, “To Sir With Love”, “Son of a Preacher Man”, and many, many more!

You’ll be dancing in the aisles as you’re reminded how the great songs of the 60’s thrilled us, challenged us, and made us see the world in a whole new way.

“Every song in this ravishing revue will have theatregoers clapping their hands, tapping their feet, and singing along with glee!”

-Chicago Theatre Review

“Comfort food for the heart, soul and spirit!”

-The Berkshire Eagle

THE GARBOLOGISTS

BY LINDSAY JOELLE

SEPTEMBER 13 - 29

The Studio at SHADOWLAND STAGES

Danny, a gruff blue-collar sanitation veteran, is paired up with Marlowe, an Ivy League-educated newbie on their NYC garbage route. As they pick up the trash of the city, learning the secret art of ‘mongo’ (hunting for discarded treasure), they work their way to common ground in this poignant new comedy.

“A must see…Joelle’s finely crafted play is laced with wit and wisdom.”

-Broadway World

“Delightfully intimate, surprising, and profound, filled with unexpected laughter and even tears.”

-onStage Pittsburgh
