 Seussical
the Broadway family musical
based on the works of Dr. Seuss


Seussical is the Broadway family musical phenomenon that has lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Lazy Mayzie, and a little boy with a big imagination–– Jojo. In the outlandish spirit of other classics such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Phantom Tollbooth, Trevecca’s quirky interpretation of Seuss’s stories transports children of all ages through song and dance, from the deepest Jungle of Nool to the odd Circus McGurkus to the microscopic world of the Whos.  From the infectious opening song, "Oh, the Thinks You Can Think," the child in you will cheer for Seuss’s celebration of the imagination and for his colorful characters who remind us of perhaps his most important lesson—don’t ever give up, for the reward is great to those who are “faithful, one hundred percent.”
 

January 28, 29, 30 and February 4, 5, 6
 The Glass Menagerie
by Tennessee Williams


One of Tennessee Williams’s most famous and most powerful plays (and his most patently autobiographical), The Glass Menagerie unfolds in the 1930s from the memory and voice of Tom Wingfield, who lives in poverty in a dingy St. Louis apartment with his mother, Amanda, and his crippled sister, Laura. Although Amanda Wingfield strives to give meaning and direction to her life and to the lives of her children, her own anxieties and illusions, over time, only aggravate her tender, but deteriorating relationships with Tom and Laura. Williams’s poignant masterpiece, centering on an isolated family navigating the murky terrain between reality and illusion in order to cope and endure, throws into sharp relief some of life’s most challenging questions about self-preservation, sacrificial love, and finding hope for a meaningful future.

 On the Verge
a "modern" comedy
by Eric Overmyer


From the heart of Africa to the highest Himalayas to Terra Incognita itself, Overmyer’s outrageous, “modern” comedy, On the Verge, plunges his audience into the chimerical adventure of three intrepid Victorian lady explorers who have embarked upon a most unusual journey. Equipped with dialogue as pithy as their helmets, these “sister sojourners” discover more than just the secrets of the rainforest or the dangers of the craggy heights. Their mirthful safari unexpectedly spins them into a kaleidoscopic, mind-bending jaunt from the 19th century into the 20th, encountering along the way hundreds of artifacts from the not-so-distant future. Overmyers’ hilarious multi-media continuum of space, time, history, geography, feminism, fashion, and pop-culture rounds off TNU’s theatre season with a roar.
