 Evil Dead: The
Musical
Book & Lyrics By George Reinblatt
Music By Frank Cipolla/Christopher Bond/Melissa Morris/George Reinblatt
Nov. 5-7 at 7:30 p.m.
Sunday, Nov. 8 at 3 p.m.
Dorothy Menker Theater
Directed by Tommy Hensel
Based on Sam Raimi’s 1980s cult classic films,
Evil Dead tells the tale of five college kids who travel to a cabin in the woods
and accidentally unleash an evil force. And although it may sound like a horror,
it’s not! The songs are hilariously campy, and the show is bursting with more
farce than a Monty Python skit. As musical mayhem descends upon this sleepover
in the woods, “camp” takes on a whole new meaning with uproarious numbers like
All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons, Look
Who’s Evil Now and Do the Necronomicon.

Feb. 25-27 and March 5-6 at 7:30
p.m.
Sunday, Feb. 28, at 3 p.m.
John and Angeline Oremus Theater
Directed by Dr. Craig Rosen
Elyot and Amanda, once married and now
honeymooning with new spouses at the same hotel, meet by chance, reignite the
old spark and impulsively elope. After days of being reunited, they again find
their fiery romance alternating between passions of love and anger. A unique
play with four successful Broadway runs.

Machinal
By Sophie Treadwell
April 29-May 1
Sunday, May 2
John and Angeline Oremus Theater
Directed by Dr. Craig Rosen
A 1928 Broadway hit, Machinal is a modern age
tragedy of isolation turned to murder. The play, Sophie Treadwell said, is about
"a young woman, ready, eager for life, for love...but deadened, squeezed,
crushed by the machine-like quality of the life surrounding." Loosely based on
the sensational 1927 murder trial of Ruth Snyder, Treadwell uses this scenario
as a springboard for her own speculations about what circumstances might drive a
seemingly harmless stenographer to commit murder.
