Our 50th Anniversary Season takes the cake!
Bluegrass/Americana meets a worldly perspective on musical roots and family ties; it’s a Neverland like you’ve never, never seen; an award-winning classic set in 1950s Chicago hits the Haas stage; one woman’s life from 17 to 101 and all the birthdays (and cake) in between; and a man-eating plant with a killer voice manipulates a hapless florist in a camp musical classic.
We’ve got a lot of music and magic in store, but we’re missing one thing: you. Join the party!
