The Women's Theatre Project presents The Year of Magical Thinking
Based on the real-life experience of author Joan Didion, an almost unfathomably shocking period in Didion's life is revealed in this play, capturing the compassion, humor and be-wilderment of a fiercely intelligent woman whose world lurches suddenly from the ordinary to the unimaginable. The one-woman show is a love letter to a child and a tribute to an extraordinary, unconventional marriage, told with raw candor and a brilliant storyteller's gift for the absurd..

Miss Saigon
The classic love story is brought up-to-date in one of the most stunning theatrical spectacles of all time. In Miss Saigon, Alain Boublil and Claude-Michael Schönberg, creators of last season’s acclaimed hit Les Misérables, along with Richard Maltby, Jr., bring Puccini’s Madame Butterfly to the modern world in a moving testament to the human spirit and a scathing indictment of the tragedies of war. An international sensation, Miss Saigon is an epic, daring pop opera that is universal in its emotional power even as it deals with controversial, contemporary issues. In the turmoil of the Vietnam War, an American soldier and a Vietnamese girl fall in love, only to be separated during the fall of Saigon. Their struggles to find each other over the ensuing years creates an unparalleled drama and a must see musical theatrical experience.

Brigadoon
Come with us the the magical world of BRIGADOON. When two American tourists get lost in the Scottish Highlands they suddenly come upon a tiny village that's not on any map. The people of the village are very strange to them in that they've never heard of a telephone or seen a modern coin. We eventually learn that a miracle has taken place here and the entire village only exists for one day every one hundred years.
Against the backdrop of this beautiful fable is a story about the power of love and how it can create a miracle all its own.
With a lovely score by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Lowe (creators of "My Fair Lady" and "Camelot"), BRIGADOON introduced such classic tunes as "Almost Like Being in Love" and "The Heather on the Hill".
