Guys
and Dolls- Sergeant Sarah Brown, of
the Save a Soul Mission, is vainly trying to spread the Word,
and make a difference to the sin and depravity of the streets
of Broadway. Adelaide, the showgirl, is desperate to leave behind
her seemingly glamorous lifestyle for a white picket fence and
a ring on her finger. Nathan Detroit, is trying to find yet another
new location for his floating dice game, keeping just one short
step ahead of the law. The gamblers themselves, eager for just
one more roll, for that winning streak. And the coolest, highest
roller of them all, Sky Masterson, who would bet on anything that
would turn him a profit. One of America’s best loved musicals
featuring the hit songs “I’ve Never Been in Love Before,” “A Bushel
and a Peck,” and “If I Were a Bell.” |

A
Midsummer
Night's Dream
Dubuque City Youth Ballet 40th Year Celebration!
Original Ballet choreographed by Marina O'Rourke
Music: Felix Mendelssohn -
Titania and Oberon, Queen and King of the Enchanted Forrest,
are quarreling over the possession of a precious object. Oberon
charges his favorite Fairy, Puck, “Spirit of Mischief,” to dot
Titania’s eyes while she sleeps with the magic purple flower
“Love in Idleness” so when she wakens, she will love the first
she sees, which will be Oberon. Hermia and Lysander enter the
forest, deeply in love. Demetrius enters, pursuing the affection
of Hermia. Helena enters in despair, for she loves Demetrius
even though he has eyes only for Hermia. Oberon observes the
turmoil of Helena, and orders Puck to affect the eyes of Demetrius,
so he will love Helena and set these lovers right. However,
Puck makes mischief, and all goes awry! Titania opens her eyes
to Bottom, a rustic village actor who has stumbled into the
forest with a donkey’s head stuck on his. Puck has mistaken
Lysander for Demetrius, and Lysander opens his eyes to adore
Helena - forsaking Hermia. The men fight - the women fight,
and Titania adores the donkey! Oberon orders a deep fog to cover
the forest as he un-muddles the mischief of Puck. When the fog
lifts, all is set right. The lovers are united and all is well.

Rent
- The Grand’s first
annual regional high school production!
Rent follows a year in the lives of seven friends living the disappearing
Bohemian lifestyle in New York's East Village. AIDS and both its
physical and emotional complications pervade the lives of Roger,
Mimi, Tom, and Angel; Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity
through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their
relationship is worth the trouble; Benjamin has sold out his Bohemian
ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with
his former friends; and Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like
an outsider to life in general, always behind the camera recording
the events but never playing a part. |

Chicago
-
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. Premiering in 1975 and the hit of the 1997 Broadway season,
Chicago won six Tony Awards including Best Revival.

Annual
Summer Youth Production
Rugrats the Musical-
Welcome to the world of the RUGRATS! The RUGRATS are Tommy, our
one-year-old hero, and his friends, Chuckie, Phil & Lil and his
cousin Angelica. The RUGRATS, in their usual offbeat fashion,
turn a typical rainy afternoon into an adventure of the imagination.
When Chuckie laments that the world is becoming too scary, Tommy
decides to do something about it and creates the People-ator,
a tool which makes inanimate objects come alive. Tommy’s plan
quickly backfires when Angelica takes his invention. As the RUGRATS
travel over oceans and battle Reptar to keep Angelica from using
the People-ator for her own purposes, Chuckie realizes that the
world no longer seems as scary – not because Tommy changed the
world, but because Chuckie has found that he can survive scary
things through his own courage and the help of his 'bestest' friends. |

The mysterious Dr. Drosselmeyer arrives at
the Stahlbaum Christmas with a special gift for Clara - a wooden

soldiers, led by her valiant Nutcracker, come to her rescue. The
King Rat attacks the Nutcracker, but Clara hits him with her shoe
and the Nutcracker wins the battle and is transformed into a handsome
prince. Their adventures continue into the Land of Snow, across
the Lemonade Sea and into the Kingdom of Sweets. As the adventure
draws to a close, Clara drifts off to sleep. She awakens in bed,
as the Nutcracker Prince salutes his princess Clara. An annual
