    Camelot

    October 4th-27th

    Opening the 12th season is Lerner and Loewe's classic, Camelot, the Arthurian legend brought to life through stage and song. A paired down cast won't detract from the enduring score, featuring “If Ever I Would Leave You”, “I Loved You Once in Silence”, and of course, “Camelot”.  Rated PG for brief peril and adult situations.

    Lost in Yonkers

    March 13th-29th

    Neil Simon's hilarious Lost in Yonkers takes us all the way back to 1942 and two teenage boys who go to live with their strict grandmother and their “crazy” Aunt Bella, whose childlike mind and yearning for independence take them all on an adventure. This one has all the feels. PG.

    April 24th-May 10th

    Farmers Alley Theatre is once again partnering with the Gilmore to bring you the story of famed jazz singer, Billie Holiday in Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill.  Set in a seedy Philadelphia bar four months before her death, Farmers Alley invites you to "be a part of the audience as more than a dozen musical numbers are interlaced with salty, often humorous reminiscences to project a riveting portrait of the Billie Holiday and her music." Rated R: language and drug use

    Bright Star

    June 12th-28th

    Featuring the Grammy-nominated score by Steven Martin and Edie Brickell, Bright Star "tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and ‘40s.  When literary editor Alice Murphy meets a young soldier just home from World War II, he awakens her longing for the child she once lost.  Haunted by their unique connection, Alice sets out on a journey to understand her past – and what she finds has the power to transform both their lives.  An uplifting theatrical journey that holds you tight in its grasp, Bright Star is as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful." If you liked Spitfire Grill or Bridges of Madison County, don't miss Bright Star.

    Rated PG for some adult situations.
