Current Season

Iolanthe
(Click Here to Visit the “Iolanthe” Showpage for more information about the production)
October 2023- July 2024

Directed by Gayden Wren with Musical Co-Direction by David Bernard (Orchestral Music Director) and Isabella Eredita Johnson (Rehearsal Music Director).

Based on W.S. Gilbert’s Bab Ballad, ‘The Fairy Curate’, Iolanthe is set 25 years after fairy Iolanthe committed the ultimate crime: marrying a mortal. Her half-human, half-fairy son, Strephon, now wishes to marry a mortal, Phyllis, – a crime punishable by death – leaving Iolanthe and her fairy friends no choice but to challenge the law.
It all comes to a head in this battle of wills between the fairies and the peers of Parliament!

Very Truly Yours, Gilbert & Sullivan
September 2019-November 2023

Gayden Wren’s epistolary drama tells the story of Gilbert & Sullivan in excerpts from their letters and contemporary memoirs, letters and journalism. It was an Off-Broadway hit in 1997, and since then has been produced by various companies around the country, including productions in Ohio, upstate New York and Texas. The current production marks the company’s first since the original run of the show ended in 1999, except for a one-night-only special mounting in 2003 to kick off the company’s 50th anniversary season. Directed by author/original director Gayden Wren, it features a quintet of the group’s finest singers and dancers with piano accompaniment.
