Fame, the Musical is a bittersweet but ultimately inspiring story of a diverse group of students as they commit to four years of grueling artistic and academic work. With candor, humor, and insight the show explores the issues that confront many young people today: prejudice, identity, self-worth, literacy, sexuality, substance abuse, and perseverance.  Fame the Musical is significantly rewritten from previous adaptations (the 1980 film Fame and the following television series) with an almost entirely new score.  Director Tim Larson brings together a talented and diverse cast and crew to create a production that will make you want to stand up and shout, “I want to live forever!”

Noises Off, a play in three acts, is a hilarious comedy where you-- the audience-- view this production as a play within a play.  It begins with only hours before the opening of a British adult farce, Nothing On, and the touring company is hurriedly running through a final dress rehearsal in the Grand Theatre, Weston-SuperMare, before the first audience members arrive. The Nothing On cast is loveable, but mainly inept; however, we cheer for them under our breath and hope they can pull it together and get the show on the road. You then get to see Nothing On from both an audience and a backstage perspective.  Director Patrick Kramer will bring to the Circle Stage a rousing comedy that will keep you in stitches.

Mame, revolves around the antics of Mame Dennis, a fun-loving, wealthy eccentric with a flair for life and a razor sharp wit. Her life is suddenly changed when she becomes the guardian of her late brother's only child, Patrick Dennis. Her adventures take us from the speak-easies of the roaring 20's to the depression following the great Stock Market crash. She is rescued by a wealthy southern plantation owner, marries, is widowed suddenly, and through it all manages to keep things under control.  With such memorable numbers as Open a New Window, We Need a Little Christmas, and the title song Mame, Director  Macon Kimbrough will bring to the Circle a Stage a production that will coax the blues right out of your heart!

To Kill the Mockingbird is a faithful reproduction of Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. The story is about dignity, tolerance, and the difficulties of growing up in rural Alabama during the depression year of 1935. It is told through the eyes of Scout, the tomboyish daughter of Atticus. She is fascinated with all of the people in this small town and she is full of questions to be asked of her widower father. Director Melissa Williams will bring to the Circle Stage a well-knit production where the drama will unfold seamlessly and the fragile tale will come to enchanting life.
