UPCOMING EVENTS
HARE & TORTOISE
JUNE 23
Performance Times:
11:00am & 1:00pm
This is a show for Ages 0 – 10
Theatre for Young Audiences’ inaugural production. This exciting new program features musicals and plays designed to capture and inspire the imagination of young children.
Hare & Tortoise is a play taken from the classical fable that explores friendship. The hare boasted that his speed was unmatched, and took for granted the tortoise’s slow-and-steady pace…but there are other lessons we can learn from these two fabled characters. Patience, being present, and not missing opportunities in the moment.
Redding Performing Arts Center is proud to bring a classic story to a new audience. We hope you and your family will join us for a fun, and all around adorable performance.
BOEING BOEING
JUNE 15 – 24
In true Parisian style, Bernard has his hands full in the romance department: he has three girlfriends, all gorgeous, all flight attendants. He’s meticulously arranged it so their layovers don’t overlap, keeping each woman blissfully unaware of the others. What will Bernard do when new, faster jets are introduced and his fiancés touch down all at once? Book your tickets now for this hilarious summertime romp!
SHE LOVES ME
September 14 – 30
Set in a 1930s European perfumery, we meet shop clerks, Amalia and Georg, who, more often than not, don’t see eye to eye. After both respond to a “lonely hearts advertisement” in the newspaper, they now live for the love letters that they exchange, but the identity of their admirers remains unknown. Join Amalia and Georg to discover the identity of their true loves… and all the twists and turns along the way!
ARSENIC & OLD LACE
October 19 – 28
Drama critic Mortimer Brewster’s engagement announcement is upended when he discovers a corpse in his elderly aunts’ window seat. Mortimer rushes to tell Abby and Martha before they stumble upon the body themselves, only to learn that the two old women aren’t just aware of the dead man in their parlor, they killed him! Between his aunts’ penchant for poisoning wine, a brother who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, and another brother using plastic surgery to hide from the police—not to mention Mortimer’s own hesitancy about marriage—it’ll be a miracle if Mortimer makes it to his wedding. Arsenic and Old Lace is a classic black comedy about the only thing more deadly than poison: family.
