The Fangmeyer Theatre at HART
Directed by Steve Lloyd
When a badly botched version of Hamlet- “to be or not to be, that’s the point…”- hits a local stage, Henry Condell and John Heminges, two of Shakespeare’s closest friends, know they have to act. Three years after William Shakespeare’s death, a group of actors meet to try and gather the Bard’s scattered masterpieces and create the First Folio. It’s a theatrical, beat-the-clock race to save a legacy. The Book of Will is full of the wit and nerve you would expect from Shakespeare’s favorite actors and a triumph that will leave your heart full of joy.
Suitable for all audiences.
by William Shakespeare Directed by Dwight Chiles Opening 7/15/2022 – 8/13/2022
Music & Lyrics by William Finn
Book By Rachel Sheinkin
Conceived by Rebecca Feldman
Additional Materials by Jay Reiss
Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine
Originally Produced on Broadway by David Stone, James L. Nederlander, Barbara Whitman, Patrick Catullo, Barrington Stage Company, Second Stage Theatre
Presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
DIRECTED BY HEATHER DENTON
In this Tony award-winning musical, six awkward spelling champions vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the champions spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, six spellers enter; one speller wins!

Ain’t Too Proud – The Life and Times of The Temptations is the electrifying, new smash-hit Broadway musical that follows The Temptations’ extraordinary journey from the streets of Detroit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Written by three-time Obie Award winner Dominique Morisseau, directed by two-time Tony Award winner Des McAnuff (Jersey Boys), and featuring the Tony-winning choreography of Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys, On Your Feet!), the unforgettable story of this legendary quintet is set to the beat of the group’s treasured hits, including “My Girl,” “Just My Imagination,” “Get Ready,” “Papa Was a Rolling Stone,” and so many more.

 2022 Season will offer Rootabaga Express! on Thursday and Saturday mornings at 10:15 am.Celebrate 100 years of Rootabaga this summer! Published in 1922, the “Rootabaga Stories” have entertained readers and audiences of all ages for 100 years. Use the links at the bottom to read a story or watch part of a play. The Sandburg Summer Stage is a series of free public performances. These 30-minute programs feature the cast and directors from The Vagabond School of the Drama, an apprentice program of the Flat Rock Playhouse. Performances are held rain or shine, at the park amphitheatre near the Front Lake. Rootabaga Express! These shows are supported by the Flat Rock Playhouse and the Park Store, operated by America’s National Parks. Apprentice actors from the Flat Rock Playhouse have performed adaptations of Sandburg’s works for park visitors since 1974. Using Sandburg’s own words from his collections of children’s stories, poetry, collected music, biography of Abraham Lincoln and his own autobiography, the performances provide visitors with a sense of the scope of his work and imagination. Sandburg was an expert storyteller, and easily wove important messages of fairness, empathy and social justice into his writings. Whatever play you are able to attend you will walk away with a smile on your face and a better understanding of the legacy of Carl Sandburg. |
No shows June 30 and July 2.
