Book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse Music by John Kander Lyrics by Fred Ebb
Directed by Dianna Schepers Choreography by Shelly McDowell Music Direction by TBA
In roaring twenties Chicago, chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband, Amos, to take the rap…until he finds out he’s been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another “Merry Murderess,” Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the “American Dream”: fame, fortune, and acquittal. This sharp-edged satire features a dazzling score that sparked immortal staging by Bob Fosse.

Kayak Tour: Steamboat Slough (3 hours)
Paddle back in time as we explore Steamboat Slough! According to historical records researched by steamboatslough.com “Steamboat slough was one of the primary routes for steamers or paddle wheelers taking passengers, dry goods and foods between the gold mining hub or launch point of Sacramento to San Francisco, and back.” It became the favored route due to less navigational hazards than the Sacramento River. Historical records also show a number of shipwrecks occurring in this slough and even a gold heist in 1850.
Meal is included: Location TBD.

About The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Conceived by Rebecca Feldman Additional Material by Jay Reiss Music and Lyrics by William Finn Book by Rachel Sheinkin
Directed by Gregory Brown (adult cast) Choreography by TBA Music Direction by TBA
An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake.
