A Comedy of Tenors
JUN 26 - JUL 3
Langworthy Theatre
One hotel suite, four tenors, two wives, three girlfriends, and a soccer stadium filled
with screaming fans. What could possibly go wrong? It’s 1930s Paris and the stage
is set for the concert of the century – as long as producer Henry Saunders can keep
Italian superstar Tito Merelli and his hot-blooded wife Maria from causing runaway
chaos. Prepare for an uproarious ride, full of mistaken identities, bedroom hijinks,
and madcap delight.
Assassins
JUL 30 - AUG 2
Campus Commons Performance Hall
Bold, original, disturbing, and occasionally funny, Assassins is perhaps the most
controversial musical ever written. Assassins lays bare the lives of nine individuals
who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, in a
one-act historical revue. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, Stephen Sondheim
and John Weidman take us on a nightmarish roller coaster ride in which assassins and
would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and inspire each
other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream. A multiple Tony Award-winner,
Assassins combines Sondheim's signature blend of intelligent lyrics and beautiful
music with a panoramic story of our nation's culture of celebrity and the violence
some will use to obtain it.
