LEND ME A TENOR

LEND ME A TENOR

by Ken Ludwig

September 10-27, 2009

If you need a break from reality, where better place to go than Cleveland – especially the Cleveland Opera Company’s gala 1934 production of Otello, where the lead is to be played by the renowned Il Stupendo – or was, until things started to go dreadfully wrong.

MAN OF LA MANCHA

MAN OF LA MANCHA

By Dale Wasserman
Lyrics by Joe Darion
Music by Mitch Leigh

Oct. 29 – Nov. 15, 2009

One of the greatest stories of all time turns into one of the most beloved musicals of all time, as the imprisoned Miguel Cervantes spins the tale of Don Quixote and his quest, in this winner of five Tony® Awards.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL

A CHRISTMAS CAROL

By Charles Dickens
Adapted by Leigh Allan and Scott Stoney
Music Arranged
by Gregg Coffin

Dec. 10-23 & 26-27, 2009

The 2008 premiere of this adaptation of the Dickens classic, designed especially for The Loft, was such a hit we’re making it a holiday tradition. Catch the spirit, and the spirits, as a Christmas party brings forth the tale of Scrooge’s evolution from the grim miser of bah and humbug to a light-hearted spreader of joy.

THE VERTICAL HOUR

THE VERTICAL HOUR

by Dan Hare

Jan. 28-Feb. 14, 2010

The conflicts between an American war correspondent-turned-Yale-professor and her boyfriend’s British doctor father move from world affairs to personal motivations, from Iraqi wars to rocky relationships in what the Guardian of London calls a “rich, intellectually gripping play” by prolific Briton David Hare (Amy’s View, Skylight).

ROUNDING THIRD

ROUNDING THIRD

By Richard Dresser

March 11 – 28, 2010

What better way to celebrate spring than the crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd, and two Little League coaches going head to head in what has to be the only baseball play to include Brigadoon, living in a van, and the fine art of equipment bag stuffing.

ORDINARY DAYS

ORDINARY DAYS

By Adam Gwon

June 10 – 27, 2010

In this Regional Premiere of a new musical, four young New Yorkers’ lives intertwine, sometimes knowingly and sometimes when they haven’t even met. Lost thesis notes; confetti fraught with fortune-cookie wisdom; loves sought, avoided, won and lost all combine to turn ordinary days and Ordinary Days into something extraordinary.
