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.

Private Lives
By Noel Coward
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.

If you are interested in auditioning, contact Dr. Craig Rosen at rosen@morainevalley.edu or call (708) 974-5432 for information.
