This is our favorite time of year - getting ready to create another enchanted season under the stars...and this will be our 28th year!  First of all - thank you!  The reason the magic can happen is because of you, our valued audience members and supporters, and all the wonderful performers, musicians, tech crew and members of the artistic team who give so much of their time and talents to each of the shows.  We wouldn't be able to continue  without you and all you do to make sure that the performing arts are alive and well in Greater Danbury.

And alive they are!  Opening our 2012 season is Dan Goggin's crowd-pleasing Off-Broadway hit "NUNSENSE: The Mega-Musical," playing June 14 -30.  A new twist on a perennial favorite, this new version features all the same high jinks of the beloved Little Sisters of Hoboken, plus five new characters, an expanded ensemble and supersized musical numbers.  You'll see why NUNSENSE is truly habit-forming and laugh-inducing!

Next up, travel to the Scottish highlands for Lerner and Loewe's romantic tale "BRIGADOON," playing July 5 -21.  With a compelling love story and a lush score featuring such beautiful songs as "The Heather on the Hill," "I'll Go Home with Bonnie Jean," "Almost Like Being in Love," and "Come to Me, Bend to Me," you'll be ready for a captivating evening in the Scottish mists.

Following "BRIGADOON"  July 26 - August 11 is Adams and Strouse's "BYE BYE BIRDIE," the hit musical about rock 'n' roll and teen sensation Conrad Birdie and his electrifying effect on the population of Sweet Apple, Ohio. Be sure to don your pedal pushers and join us for hits like "Put On a Happy Face," "Kids," "One Last Kiss," and "The Telephone Hour."

Capping off the summer is our Summer Youth Musical Theater Workshop, now in its third year, which features Disney's "BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, JR." as the student production.  Click here for details on this outstanding educational and performance opportunity and an application
