The Season is Upon Us!

No...not the Holiday season, but that's coming fast too! I mean the 2016-2017 KUSD Theatrical season! What are you doing this year, you ask? Let me tell you, we are busy busy!

The season starts with E.D., a student written production that will be performed at ITHSA. Sage Holloway's piece about young people overcoming body image issues and the disorders that go with it was one of the top 5 scripts in the country last year, entered in the student playwright competition at the International Thespian Festival last year. See the show starting October 3, 2016

Do you like comic thrillers? Can't get enough of spies and damsels in distress? The 39 Steps will fix what ails you. In the Bradford Studio Oct 13, performing in rep with Dreamscape. This two person show is painfully relevant to the confusion of violence today and how fear and emotion create the conditions we all battle; but it is beautifully performed with movement and music.

Indian Trail brings the touching and honest comedy, Steel Magnolias. Filled with characters you will recognize as the women who fill your life regardless of age, come to the beauty parlor for an evening of laughter and tears Oct 20.

We are honored to have the Student Edition Premier of the musical theater classic: West Side Story at Bradford opening Oct 28.

Tremper musical theater will soften the hardest heart with the story of love and redemption. Spitfire Grill opens January 12.

Singing swashbucklers strait ahead! The Pirates of Penzance sails onto the ITHSA stage January 13, 2017. Love and treachery on the high seas in this classic musical comedy.

In January, we will have a new president. Regardless of who it will be, lets remember how we started as a country, with contentious, even violent argument and gut wrenching compromise that lay the foundation for all that is good and all that still plagues us in America today. The founding fathers lay their lives on the line in 1776, January 27, 2017.

Short attention span? No problem! Life in 10 is a seriese of 10 minute plays, storytelling and scenes at ITHSA starting February 7.

Another classic graces the Indian Trail stage in March. Hello Dolly rolls into town starting March 31.

Disney fans will be happy to know we are bringing a favorite to Bradford this year; The Hunchback of Notre Dame swings onto the stage April 28. Love, loss, and despicable villains with fantastic music.

During World War 2, amidst the horrors were heroes; in Number the Stars, the amazing story of the Danish resistance, reminds us that justice calls all of us. Would you have stood to save the innocent?
Bradford Studio, opening May 17.

Whew! What a season! Tremper will also be announcing two additional shows later in the year. Come see all of them, and visit us on FaceBook! https://www.facebook.com/groups/kusdtheaterarts/
