TriArts Sharon Playhouse is pleased to announce its 2008 Summer Season productions and upcoming audition schedule. The Full Monty kicks off the season and runs from June 19th – July 6th, 2008. The story revolves around a group of unemployed steelworkers in Buffalo, NY who come up with a bold way to make some quick cash. In the process they find renewed self-esteem, discover the importance of friendship and find the courage to face their demons. Camelot “In short there’s simply not…a more congenial spot…” than Lerner and Loewe’s classic musical Camelot. King Arthur and Guinevere set off fireworks in this timeless masterpiece where the legends of the roundtable and the turbulence of medieval romance create a musical theatre experience you’ll never forget. Featuring the lush fullness of the TriArts orchestra, the show runs from July 11th to July 20th. Elton John and Tim Rice’s AIDA is a reworking of the classic opera in a hip, young, pop version set in ancient Egypt. This powerful story is a tour de force about the love between a soldier and an enslaved princess that will leave you breathless! AIDA opens on July 31 and runs through August 17th Said Artistic Director Michael Berkeley: "It's important to find a season diverse enough to appeal to a wide range of tastes. The Full Monty is contemporary, and yes, a bit racy, but offers a kind of grit and reality in the book, music and lyrics that you don't often find in traditional musicals. The show is witty, honest, and most importantly, loaded with heart. We think The Full Monty is a good counterpoint to a traditional chestnut like Camelot and the youthful pop energy of Aida.
