THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME
ROYAL Theatre Company
May 25-27
Mason High School

Directed by Dirk Doebereiner
Choreographed by Jay Goodlett

Based on the Victor Hugo novel and songs from the Disney animated feature, The Hunchback of Notre Dame showcases the film’s Academy Award-nominated score, as well as new songs by Menken and Schwartz. The musical begins as the bells of Notre Dame sound through the famed cathedral in fifteenth-century Paris. Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer who longs to be “Out There,” observes all of Paris reveling in the Feast of Fools. Held captive by his devious caretaker, the archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, he escapes for the day and joins the boisterous crowd, only to be treated cruelly by all but the beautiful gypsy, Esmeralda. Quasimodo isn’t the only one captivated by her free spirit, though – the handsome Captain Phoebus and Frollo are equally enthralled. As the three vie for her attention, Frollo embarks on a mission to destroy the gypsies – and it’s up to Quasimodo to save them all.

RiverStage Community Theatre
June 8-16
Market Street School Auditorium [New Richmond]

RiverStage regrets to announce that WHAT THE BELLHOP SAW has been cancelled.

Its run was originally scheduled for the weekends of June the 8th, and June the 15th.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our supporters.

A nice fellow checks into an expensive suite in New York City’s finest hotel, precipitating a fantastic nightmare involving a Salman Rushdie-type author, an Iranian terrorist, a vile wife from hell, a conniving bellboy, an incompetent FBI agent, a nubile celebrity-mad maid, a dimwitted secretary, and a little pig-tailed girl. [Ages 14+]
