Richard Milner
Charles Darwin, Live & in Concert
Victorian naturalist Charles Darwin is brought to life in a musical theatre experience filled with new, original songs performed by science historian, songwriter, author, anthropologist and entertainer Richard Milner, who shows how the idea of evolution leaped out of science to influence Western thought about human nature and origins.

Private Eyes
Southeastern Theatre contributes to Fanfare the regional debut of Steven Dietz's dazzling and sophisticated comedy of suspicion in which nothing is ever quite what it seems. A romantic comedy in which real inevitably becomes an illusion, Private Eyes is a play within a play within a psychiatrist's office -- a Chinese box full of tricks and surprises.

The Taming of the Shrew
Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew is the bawdiest, funniest battle between the sexes ever written! The acclaimed Alabama Shakespeare Festival, on tour for the first time in a decade, has set the classic comedy in the 1950s, where Kate and Petruchio comically clash in the Bard s zany tale of love, marriage and a mean right hook.

The Foremen, a razor-sharp quartet of political satirists and top notch musicians in the four-part folk harmony tradition, take a scathingly funny look at America's social and political landscape through wickedly funny original songs spanning rock n roll to show tunes all laced with a dead-on dose of political satire.

Vincent
A one-man show written by Leonard Nimoy and starring Jim Jarrett breathes fire and life into the great artist Vincent Van Gogh. A Broadway smash hit, Vincent is a stunning evening of theater...educational, humorous, inspiring, visually stunning and extremely moving.
