2026 Repertory Season Shows

Mamma Mia

Newsies (PG)

Music by  Alan Menken
Lyrics by Jack Feldman
Book by Harvey Fierstein

Set in turn-of-the-century New York City, Newsies follows a ragtag band of teenage newspaper sellers — the “newsies” — led by a charismatic orphan named Jack Kelly. When powerful newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer raises the price the newsies must pay for their papers, Jack rallies the kids to strike — with the help of plucky young reporter Katherine Plumber — demanding fair treatment and respect. As the newsies organize a city-wide strike, they fight not just for better wages, but for dignity, solidarity, and hope in a harsh world. Along the way there’s friendship, courage, music, and the belief that united — even scrappy kids can stand up to power and “seize the day.”

Songs Include: Carrying the Banner, Seize The Day, The World Will Know, Santa Fe and The King of New York

Young Frankenstein – the Musical (PG-14)

Book by Mel Brooks
Music & Lyrics by Mel Brooks
​Frederick Frankenstein, a brilliant scientist and proud descendant of the infamous Dr. Victor von Frankenstein, is determined to distance himself from his family’s grisly legacy — even insisting his surname be pronounced “Fronken-steen.” When he inherits his grandfather’s ancestral castle high in Transylvania, Frederick reluctantly travels there — joined by his devoted servant Igor and the eager lab assistant Inga. Once inside the castle’s creepy labs, Frederick — spurred on by eerie family legacies and the manipulative housekeeper Frau Blucher — decides to resurrect the dead and attempt his grandfather’s infamous experiment. Chaos, comedy, and wild hijinks ensue as he animates a monstrous but misunderstood creation.

In a mixture of comedy farce, romance, and mad-scientist zany energy, Frederick learns that legacy, identity, and what it means to be “normal” are far more complicated — and far funnier — than he ever anticipated.

Songs Include: The Happiest Town in Town, The Brain, Please Don’t Touch ME, Together Again for the First Time, Transylvania Mania, He Vas My Boyfriend and one that you all know and sing…. but we can’t list it on the website…….

The Music Man (G)

Book by Meredith Wilson & Franklin Lacey
Music & Lyrics by Meredith Wilson
The Music Man (G) tells the story of Professor Harold Hill, a smooth-talking traveling salesman who rolls into the small town of River City, Iowa in 1912 and convinces the townspeople to buy instruments and uniforms for a boys’ marching band — despite the fact that he can’t teach music and plans to skip town with their money. As he works his scam, the skeptical librarian Marian Paroo sees through him, but when Harold helps her shy brother gain confidence and begins to fall for Marian himself, he starts to rethink his plans. In the end, his charms and the community’s new band bring everyone together with heart, laughter, and a touch of romance.

Songs Include: 76 Trombones, Ya Got Trouble, Goodnight My Someone, Shipoopi, Wells Fargo Wagon, My White Knight and more

Mean Girls (PG-14)

Book by Tina Fey
Music by Jeff Richmond
Lyrics by Neil Benjamin

Cady Heron is a teenage girl who moves from being home-schooled in Africa to attending a public high school in suburban Illinois. At school she befriends outsiders Janis Sarkisian and Damian Hubbard, who persuade her to infiltrate the popular clique known as “the Plastics” — a trio led by the ruthless “queen bee” Regina George.

As Cady becomes more entangled with the Plastics, she begins to lose her true self, betraying Janis, Damian, and even her crush, all for the promise of popularity and acceptance. But when Regina strikes back (with the infamous “Burn Book”) and chaos erupts — Cady hits “rock bottom.” In the end she must repair friendships, own up to her mistakes, and rediscover who she really is. The musical becomes a cautionary tale of peer pressure, identity, loyalty, and the perils of teenage popularity.

Songs Include: A Cautionary Tale, Where Do You Belong, What’s Wrong With Me?, Fearless, More is Better
