The daVinci Players of Studio Connections present:

Inherit the Wind,
by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee

at St. Francis Theatre
on April 29 through May 15, 2011.

Directed by Robert Encila, the play features a
strong ensemble headed by Doug Mitchell as Henry Drummond and Jerry
Wozniak as Matthew Harrison Brady.

Inherit the Wind is the play that has its genesis in the events of the
famous Scopes Trial. One of the most outstanding dramas of our time,
it draws the portrait of an explosive episode  in American culture and
remains as fresh and relevant as ever.

"A masterpiece. This is the test: to see the play once, twice, three
times. And each time to leave the theatre as deeply moved, as
enlightened, as lifted up, as magnificently entertained. And as
convinced that is it one of the truly great American dramas of this
century." Scripps-Howard.

Performance dates are as follows:

April 29, 30, May 6, 7, 13, 14 at 7:30 PM

May 1, 8, 15 at 2:00 PM

Tickets are $20 premium (first row) $18 general, $15 seniors,

From the first note to the final breath, WEST SIDE STORY soars as the greatest love story of all time. Tony Award-winning librettist Arthur Laurents’ Broadway direction is recreated for the tour by David Saint, the Associate Director on Broadway. WEST SIDE STORY remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The Bernstein and Sondheim score is considered to be one of Broadway's finest and features such classics of the American musical theatre as "Something's Coming," "Tonight," "America," "I Feel Pretty" and "Somewhere." Mature themes.

 

 

SHREK THE MUSICAL

SHREK THE MUSICAL, based on the Oscar®-winning DreamWorks film that started it all, brings the hilarious story of everyone’s favorite ogre to life on stage. In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre – not a handsome prince – shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won’t shut up, a villain with a SHORT temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there’s one on hand… and his name is Shrek. Featuring a terrific score of 19 all-new songs, big laughs, great dancing and breathtaking scenery, WWOR-TV proclaims SHREK THE MUSICAL, “FAR, FAR AND AWAY THE FUNNIEST NEW MUSICAL ON BROADWAY!”

 

 

ROCK OF AGES

It’s five-time, Tony Award® nominated smash-hit musical ROCK OF AGES, a hilarious, feel-good love story.  In 1987 on the Sunset Strip, a small town girl met a big city rocker and in LA’s most famous rock club, they fell in love to the greatest songs of the ‘80s. ROCK OF AGES, an arena-rock love story told through the mind blowing, face-melting hits of JOURNEY, NIGHT RANGER, STYX, REO SPEEDWAGON, PAT BENATAR, TWISTED SISTER, POISON, ASIA, WHITESNAKE and many more. The New York Times, calls is “Impossible to resist.” Don’t miss this awesomely good time about dreaming big, playing loud and partying on!

 

 

IN THE HEIGHTS

April 24-29, 2012
Tucson Music Hall

 

This 2008 Tony Award-winning Best Musical is a moving, funny, and uplifting new show about a community of hard-working immigrants seeking a better life and trying to find their place – their home – in their new country. With a remarkable young cast, thrilling Tony® Award-winning dancing and a dynamic Tony® Award-winning score, IN THE HEIGHTS is an exhilarating journey into a vibrant Manhattan community – a place where the coffee is light and sweet, the windows are always open, and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. Experience the next chapter of the classic American story at the most joyous and exciting musical on Broadway.

Comedy Improvisation - What a wonderful class to get you to think fast, think on your feet, loosen up your body, and how you move.  In this class, you're also taught dialects.  You don't have to be a "funny person" to do really well in this class, to have a fantastic time, and to learn a great deal.  Comedy improv isn’t half as hard as it looks when you learn it from a former Saturday Night Live cast member.  Anna gives you the keys: formats, dialects, and structure.  Come play, have a ball, and enjoy discovering how funny you can be.  Also, for acting students, studying comedy improv loosens up the body, helps you think fast on your feet, introduces dialects, and sharpens your timing.

4 consecutive Wednesday nights
6:30pm-8:00pm
Start on any Wednesday (but you must call first to sign up).
$40 per week
