What was the sweetest moment of your life? For Magda in Puccini's La Rondine, the beautiful mistress of a wealthy banker, it was the night many years ago when she ran away from home and met a handsome stranger at a Parisian nightclub, the Bullier. He asked her name, she wrote it on a tabletop, and he did the same. Though she left without ever seeing him again, it was an enchanting, unforgettable interlude. Now she is very well kept and much more experienced - until someone reads her palm and tells her that, like a swallow, she will fly back to love.

And so, disguised as the shop girl she used to be, Magda runs off for a night of adventure at the Bullier. There, she meets a young man and begins to relive that other magical night. Although her wealthy protector arrives to tell her he hopes she won't regret her decision, she runs off with her new beau to a romantic idyll on the Riviera. Magda is happy with the way things are, but the young man hopes his parents will reinstate his inheritance and allow him to marry her. Although permission is granted, Magda is wise enough, discreet enough, and in love enough to know that her scandalous past will ruin her young lover. She returns home to her benefactor.

To protect their daughter from the Communist regime, Sonia’s parents sent her to the United States during the Cuban revolution and she never saw them again. Thirty years later and living in the Midwest, Sonia, a fiercely devoted mother of two, has created a home that embraces her own cultural traditions along with her husband’s Jewish religion. Three months after 9/11, their son announces he is quitting college to join the army. Sonia combats grief and terrifying abandonment through political forces that once again threaten to shatter her family. Can she come to terms with her secret past, her parents’ decision, her children’s choices and her duty to her adopted country? Set in Minneapolis in 2001 and Cuba in 1961, Sonia Flew questions parental sacrifice, familial responsibility and patriotism in times when worlds collide.

A drought-stricken future where urination is no longer free is the setting for this preposterous and yet charming musical that was a big 'splash' on Broadway.

Enjoy the Fascinating Rhythm of this fast-paced lighthearted musical comedy with songs by George and Ira Gershwin. Delight in their trademark wit and charm in this show that premiered on Broadway in 1924 starring Fred and Adele Astaire. This madcap mayhem of confused identities is jam-packed with stellar feel-good tunes like Fascinating Rhythm, Lady Be Good, and I’d Rather Charleston -- the kind of music you’ll hum all the way home -- brought to life with show-stopping performances and dance numbers.

In keeping with Tabard’s tradition to donate a portion of concession proceeds to a local nonprofit that is, in some way, thematically related to the production, the cast and staff of Lady, Be Good have designated CaringBridge.org for their work to help connect injured and ill patients with family and friends.

The answer is simplicity itself: a nice, genteel homicide with a cup of tea as the murder weapon. When a brash young woman reporter begins to suspect the truth, she becomes the next target. O'Finn is terribly embarrassed when at last he discovers that he himself is the motive for these madcap goings-on, and, in desperation, manages to solve the case. But the dear old ladies are too fond of him and in the end they turn the tables on him!

This Tony Award-nominated play chronicles her colorful career, from her beginnings in vaudeville to her legendary stature as one of filmdom’s greatest stars. The audience gets to see how carefully and confidently West developed the extravagant, sexy, taboo-breaking public persona that was the hallmark of her fame. At the same time, this comedy explores the lives of two misfits who are her biggest fans. At once a love story, a musical and an amusing take on celebrity obsession, Dirty Blonde is a joyous celebration of Hollywood’s bawdy, ground-breaking female icon.

It’s been several years since we left Bertha and Arles dancing at the end of A Tuna Christmas — did the romance blossom? Has Didi Snavley received any “cosmic” communications from R.R.’s UFO? Did Stanley make his fortune in the Albuquerque taxidermy business? These and other burning questions will be asked and answered in the side-splitting spoof of life in rural America. Along with Tuna’s perennial favorites, some new residents of the third-smallest town in Texas burst onto the scene at the Fourth of July Tuna High School class reunion.

Just when you thought it was safe to go into the classroom…Sister is back! And so are the nun-stop laughs. With the blessings of the Archdiocese, Sister has assembled banners, filmstrips, mimeographed handouts, historical facts, and hysterical insights as she conducts her "class" in an overview of Heaven and Hell, comparing them to a Catholic version of Chutes and Ladders. Sister also offers her personal list of sins for the new millennium. (In case you were wondering, tattoos, body-piercings, and botox injections are high on her list.)

This much-anticipated sequel to Late Nite Catechism is already blessed with "heavenly" reviews from critics and audience members alike. With all the wit, wisdom, and wackiness of the original, Late Nite Catechism 2 is bound to bring back former "students" and make millions of new "converts".

Prince Tamino and Princess Pamina are young lovers who use the powers of a magic flute to battle the forces of evil that threaten to keep them apart. Set in an unknown location at an unknown time, The Magic Flute tells the tale of characters who don't seem to know exactly who they are, where they're going, or what they're going to do there — And while the story seems to be a clear-cut story of good versus evil, it soon becomes confoundingly difficult to tell which is which!

Abridged and performed in English, Bay Shore Lyric Opera's adaptation of Mozart's brilliant comic opera is the perfect way to introduce young audiences to the wonderful world of opera. A delight for the whole family!

Gradually distancing herself from her friends, she watches them move from the idealism and political radicalism of their college years through militant feminism and, eventually, back to the materialism that they had sought to reject in the first place. Heidi comes to accept the fact that liberation can be achieved only if one is true to oneself.

The scene is a fishing lodge in rural Georgia often visited by "Froggy" LeSeuer, a British demolition expert who occasionally runs training sessions at a nearby army base. This time "Froggy" has brought along a friend, a pathologically shy young man named Charlie who is overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. So "Froggy," before departing , tells all assembled that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English. Once alone the fun really begins as Charlie overhears more than he should with the thought that Charlie doesn't understand a word being said. That he does, fuels the nonstop hilarity of the play and sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously awry for the "bad guys," and the "good guys" emerge triumphant.

Acclaimed as a modern masterpiece, this existentialist play is the fabulously inventive tale of Shakespeare's Hamlet as told by two of its minor characters. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are friends of Hamlet's from Wittenberg who are called upon by King Claudius to come and keep his step son/nephew company and essentially spy on him. We all know how the story ends, but these two blokes trudge through life with hope that everything will be alright. Can they actually control their own destiny, or will fate win the day? Is this a tragedy or a comedy? Can life be anything but both? Director, Dinna Myers, invites you to step into a raucously funny world where anything can happen - or can it? Recommend for patrons over 16 years of age due to sexual content.

When they hear that an old lady in York, PA, is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash. The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren't nephews, but nieces!

Romantic entanglements abound, especially when Leo falls head-over-petticoats in love with the old lady's vivacious niece, Beg, who's engaged to the local minister. Beg knows that there's a wide world out there, but it's not until she meets "Main and Stephanie" (AKA Jack and Leo) that she finally gets a taste of it.

Parental guidance suggested; small amount of strong language and some sexual content.

A whirlwind British farce will be the next comedy presentation at Pintello Comedy Theater in Gilroy. Directed by Marion Pintello and written by Ray Cooney and John Chapman, There Goes the Bride is a madcap race to the altar for the Westerby family. In the play, dad Timothy Westerby is trying to handle all of the wedding arrangements for his daughter Judy’s wedding day while juggling his frenetic advertising business. After a bump on the head, Timothy meets a beautiful and rambunctious 1920’s Flapper, but only he can see her.

Compounding his problems are his intrepid wife, a critical mother-in-law, his inept and hard-of-hearing father-in-law, a sarcastic business partner and a suspicious father-of-the groom from America. Mixed well and served up on stage, this British comedy is full of laughs.

Self injury, more commonly known as cutting, burning, and bruising, is a negative coping mechanism which has long been ignored, due to the secrecy and shame surrounding the issue. The information and support available for those dealing with this issue is, at best, limited. This show is the story of one person's journey. The main character is comprised of real stories from many people dealing with self injury. The supporting cast arises from the experiences of friends, family, and the medical community encountering it second hand.

This is a story of hope. This is an educational tale. This is a story of courage. It's time for the secrecy and shame to end. No one should have to suffer in silence. Coping Through Pain is a 40 minute show, followed by a 20 minute talkback. The show is written and directed by Elizabeth Fatum.

This production is a trio of short plays by Noel Coward, featuring student directors and actors. Surprises abound for the 1930's British upper class in the show's three one-acts - We Were Dancing, Ways and Means, and The Astonished Heart.

Santa Clara's Jessica Lynn directs We Were Dancing, a light musical romp about falling suddenly and desperately in love. Whether it's the champagne or chance, single Karl and married Louise are swept up into something they didn't expect amidst the moonlight, music and dancing. Sarah Tuthall, of Los Altos, directs Ways and Means, which brings the Cartwrights -- he a gambler, she embarrassed by her spouse's outrageous debts -- to a fabulous villa on the Côte d'Azur, where they are visited by a mysterious intruder who changes everything. In The Astonished Heart, Menlo Park's Sarah Griner directs a heated and passionate vignette of a man's obsession with his wife's irresistible friend. The audience goes along for a journey into a love triangle filled with jealousy, madness and provocative surprises.

It also features characters and scenarios from many other Seuss books. The Cat in the Hat, an outside observer, acts as narrator and devil's advocate throughout the show, briefly leaping into the action on several occasions to create conflict and keep the story moving.

Enjoy an evening of intellectual slapstick with a modern twist as the Cardboard Box Theatre Project presents a seriously silly interpretation of Wilde’s delightfully absurd masterpiece with a cast of four! Cardboard Box Theatre Project’s The Importance of Being Earnest takes the theatre company into new territory. The company's first two productions, A Box of Strange and Season’s Greetings, were new works written by company members. This time, it ventures into the second half of its mission to present new works and old works in new ways as director Maren Lovgren, breathes new life into Oscar Wilde’s infamous work.

Playing with the ideas of shifting surfaces and perspectives, the logistics of identity, and British pop culture, Lovgren has created a surrealistic and slapstick vision of this otherwise manner-driven world as only four actors perform the entire work. In this timelessly witty world where style, not substance, is the rule, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrief spend their days concocting alternate identities and fictional friends. But, when the town and the country converge and romantic hijinks escalate, both men must discover how to be honestly Earnest.

Opera San Jose's season opens in September with uncommon fanfare as it proudly presents the West Coast premiere of an American composer's new work. Based on a great literary classic, David Carlson's extraordinary Anna Karenina is promising to become a classic for the opera stage, as well. This electrifying new American opera was welcomed by standing ovations at its world premiere at Florida Grand Opera in 2007 and again at Opera Theatre of Saint Louis.

She's a lady... beautiful, wealthy, aristocratic. But Anna Karenina is also vulnerable... trapped in an unhappy marriage and caught in a rigid society that crushes anyone who does not follow the rules of the game. This deeply personal story follows an upper-class woman in 19th-century Russia through a loveless marriage, burning love affair, wrenching heartbreak, and finally, her sudden death. It is told with compassion, unsentimental observation, and ultimately, our horror at her inevitable violent end. Anna Karenina is at once new and familiar, brilliant and accessible.

She's a superstar... brilliant, beautiful, and spoiled. Yet Floria Tosca, despite her wealth and privilege, cannot save her aristocratic lover without consenting to debase herself. An opera diva as wildly popular in 1800 Rome as any rock or movie icon today, she finds that living for "art, love, and prayer" isn't enough to protect her in a society run by wicked, powerful men. She is a beauty pursued by a beast determined to have her, and killing her stalker - chief of the secret police, Baron Scarpia - still doesn't end her suffering. Suicide is her final act of defiance.

Tosca is, at first glance, an unlikely vehicle for Puccini. Murder, violence, and lust would seem to be unfamiliar themes for his typically tender, sentimental style. But his genius triumphs in this political thriller full of arias that are as dramatic and compelling as they are lyrical and heart-breaking. This is an opera where no one escapes death and destiny, yet, for most, their downfall is so powerfully poignant that, indeed, "the stars fall down."

She's a winner -- young, pretty, and resourceful. Against all odds, plucky Rosina succeeds in securing love and happiness. She's an orphan -- the ward of a silly codger who is plotting to marry her for her substantial dowry. And, she lives in 17th-century Seville -- a time and place not known for its kindliness toward women. But, Rosina has two things on her side. Figaro, a wily jack-of-all-trades, is her conniving accomplice; and her devoted young lover is actually a powerful, wealthy count instead of the poor student he pretends to be.

The Barber of Seville is fast and furious and fun, full of effervescent music and never-ending wit. It made Rossini world-famous and has become the most popular Italian comic opera of all time, a tuneful testament to all that's wonderful about the buffoonery in opera buffa.

She's a dreamer -- simple, sweet, and shy. She calls herself Mimì, even though it's not actually her name. She spends her days embroidering flowers and her nights longing for springtime. And she is very much alone and on her own. Literally in search of light - a match for her only candle - she, instead, finds happiness and friendship with a band of young Parisian bohemians. They include a handsome but insecure poet, a philosopher, a painter, a musician, and a good-time girl. Briefly, Mimì and Rodolfo make a place of love for themselves... until jealousy and poverty prevail. Eventually, she succumbs to tuberculosis - the scourge of the underclass - but she is never consumed by self-pity, and she dies surrounded by those who love her.

La Bohème is Puccini at his most tender and sympathetic. He loves these foolish young Parisians because he was once a struggling bohemian, just like them. He understands their happiness and pain, and he is never judgmental. His music pierces our hearts with its beauty and directness. For generations, La Bohème has been the best First Opera, the best Date Opera... and, for many, the Best Opera.

This season’s mainstage musical is Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods, the 1988 recipient of the Tony Awards for Best Original Score and Best Book of a Musical.

The show intertwines and reimagines several Brothers Grimm fairy tales, sending the beloved characters on a tumultuous and exhilarating odyssey "into the woods." What begins as a journey for answers and happy endings ultimately confronts the group with unforeseen consequences and lessons about personal and social responsibility. With soaring vocals, majestic folklore, and loveably flawed characters, Into the Woods is a popular favorite of the classic Sondheim canon.

Can music transform pain into beauty and unite two strangers? Susannah, a white, driven ethnomusicologist for the Library of Congress, is about to find out in her quest to find authentic, pre-slavery, African-American music. When she encounters Texas prisoner Pearl Johnson, an unlikely partnership develops between the street-smart Pearl and the ambitious Susannah. It isn’t long before Pearl is belting out radiant, soul-baring songs with the strength and beauty of the unaccompanied human voice. These vocal artifacts remind us of the power of music to help heal in the struggle between our collective past and the desire for individual histories. Does our past define us, and at what cost?

Corporate greed and the politics of science collide in this biomedical thriller. When Dr. Shumway, a relatively obscure and naïve cancer researcher, is thrust into the high stakes world of science, the notion of noble “truth-seeking” is dissected with a scalpel’s precision. Shumway is in over his head when he and a young student researcher get swept up in the dangerous world of political maneuvering, corporate loyalty and scientific ethics. But it’s Dr. Brock, the chief administrator at a famous research institute, who will stop at nothing in his pursuit to find a cure for cancer. Responsible science hangs in the balance in the race to be first to trial, first to publish and first to find a cure in this brilliant exploration of the business of science.

It’s 1942 in Britain and the smell of death is in the air. The sirens howl, signaling another air raid, but inside the crumbling walls of a regional theatre in the provinces the aging actor, Sir, prepares to give his 227th performance as King Lear. Norman, Sir’s devoted, fuss-budget dresser, is barely able to take care of himself but faithfully assists Sir in near feudal servitude, massaging his ego, pampering his intellect and even creating sound effects for the Shakespearean production by Sir’s struggling troupe. This touching and poignant tribute to theatre, friendship and the human spirit in the face of great strife - be it war or one’s own debilitating mortality - proves that “the show must go on.”

Sparks aren’t the only things flying in this smart, sophisticated, romantic comedy. The age-old tradition of matchmaking takes a contemporary twist when the powerful, self-made, wealthy businessman, Jack Heller, meets the accomplished, sharp and extremely attractive, Scarlett Mori-Chang in a pre-arranged meeting. Jack and Scarlett deliciously spar, test, probe and one-up each other in what could scarcely resemble a “date,” as they evaluate one another’s qualifications.

With a pre-nuptial that looks more like articles of incorporation than a financial arrangement, the deal is sealed. But, it isn’t long before dysfunctional chaos breaks out when Jack’s family and soon to be ex-wife enter the picture. Is there room for love with two intractable egos, single-minded practicality and no shortage of money or power?

Presentation Repertory (PresRep) is a five week summer theatre program for boys and girls ages 12-17. In these five weeks, the students take classes such as acting, improvisation, dance, vocal technique, and technical theatre, as well as rehearse and perform two musicals. This year, the mainstage, full-scale musical is the Broadway hit Footloose, and the second is the original musical, Thespis & Company. Every student will receive roles in both shows.

Throughout the course of the five weeks, not only will the students learn about theatre and enhance their performing skills, they will learn team work, cooperation, leadership, and self-esteem. This fast-paced, high-energy program is always as rewarding as it is fun. The students make life-long friends with whom they get to cheer on and share their achievements; and there is no greater reward than getting to opening night and seeing what they have accomplished together. No previous theatre experience is necessary.

Grease, by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, is based on the sub-cultures of high school life in the 1950's. The show takes place at the hyperactive Rydell High School, where Danny Zuko fronts his gang, the raucous T-Birds, who romance their sassy female equivalents, the Pink Ladies. When "good-girl" Sandy Dumbrowski arrives in town, the Pink Ladies take her under their collective wing.

This touring production of the recent Broadway revival features the classic songs of the original production as well as additional songs written for the film, including You're the One That I Want and Hopelessly Devoted to You.
