The 1996 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award Winning Best Musical!
Based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme, this rock opera mega-hit follows a year
in the lives and relationships of eight friends. Set in the mid-90's, the AIDS
epidemic has taken root among these struggling "Bohemian artists" of New York
city's East Village. Yes, it will be the same great songs... and yes, it will be
the same great story and characters... but our production will not be the "same
old RENT". This time we are telling the story... the Elden Street Players' way.
Do you have friends in the
cast or
crew?

A Regional Premier Production
The last house in the beautiful new suburban development of Green
Meadows has been bought, and the neighbors think the new couple is a
perfect fit for their close little community. Or are they? It is always
fun to discover a clever mystery that hasn’t been done to death - so to
speak. This little gem spins a web of deception, sex, murder and mind
games as two suburban couples discover their darker sides.

The ESP Theatre for Young Audiences presents
Excalibur
The beloved English legend of King Arthur is brought to life through
the tale of the fabled master of Wizardy and Wit, the Magical and
Mysterious Merlin the Enchanter! Raised by the noble Knight Sir Ector
with his two children, Kaye and Elaine, Arthur has a happy family and is
tutored by Merlin who is waiting for the right time for the boy to take
his throne. But his evil Aunt, Morgan Le Fay, and her two sidekicks,
Dragonfly and Katydidd, would use Arthur so she can rule the kingdom.
When a magical sword appears stuck in a stone at the palace courtyard,
it is time to test Arthur and see if he is the true King of England! Can
Arthur pull the sword from the stone? Can Merlin beat the evil Morgan Le
Fay in a duel of magic? Find out in Excalibur! The Story of Young King
Arthur.
Director Phillip Archey has been seen on stage, backstage, and in the
booth here with Theatre For Young Audiences and is delighted to share
his favorite childhood story with you in his first time in the
director's chair for TFYA. Having also directed with Taking Flight
Theatre Company, he finds a certain joy when a child's face lights up at
the story and characters of a TFYA production and hopes that this will
be one of many stories he can share with you.

MURDER IN GREEN MEADOWS
by Douglas Post
Directed by Adam Konowe
The last house in the beautiful new suburban development of Green
Meadows has been bought, and the neighbors think the new couple is a
perfect fit for their close little community. Or are they? It is
always fun to discover a clever mystery that hasn’t been done to
death - so to speak. This little gem spins a web of deception, sex,

| FROZEN
by Bryony Lavery
Directed by Carla Scopeletis
Angry, humane and compassionate, this is an extraordinary play that
entwines the lives of a murderer, the mother of one of his victims
and his psychologist to explore our capacity for forgiveness,
remorse and change after an act that would seem to rule them out
entirely.
Opens January 28 (Auditions November 7 & 8)

| A Regional Premiere
THRILL ME!
a musical by Stephen Dolginoff
Directed by Lorraine Magee and Music Directed by Scott Richards
The story of Leopold and Loeb, the Chicago “Thrill Killers” of 1924,
is as horrible and gruesomely fascinating as a multi-car pile up on
the interstate. Nominated for several “Best Musical” awards, “Thrill
Me” is as uncompromising and unsettling as its subjects.
Opens March 25 (Auditions January 2 & 3)

| A Community Theatre Area Premiere
LIFE X 3
by Yasmina Reza
Directed by Meg Miller
From the playwright of ‘ART’ and “God of Carnage, comes another
witty and acerbic play contrasting man's ability to analyze and map
the outermost reaches of the universe with his total inability to
respond rationally to the most trivial domestic mishap, and examines
how the slightest random event can effortlessly derail the most
elaborately laid plan.
Opens June 3 (Auditions April 3 & 4)
