1776
Wright State University
March 26-April 5
Creative Arts Center Festival Playhouse [Dayton]
Directed and choreographed by Greg Hellems
Music directed by Wade Russo
This production reflects and reimagines politics in a way not to be missed. The seminal event in American history blazes to vivid life in this most unconventional of Broadway hits. 1776 puts a human face on the pages of history as we see the Americans behind the national icons: proud, frightened, uncertain, irritable, charming, often petty and ultimately noble figures, determined to do the right thing for a fledgling nation.

Directed by artistic director Marya Spring Cordes
Music direction by Matt Ebright
A heartfelt, soulful ode to the Big Apple, posing the question: How old is too old to chase your dreams and pursue happiness?
Kenya, a struggling screenwriter-turned-bartender, is navigating the demands of motherhood, marriage, and an unforgiving city that seems determined to break her spirit. But amid the chaos, Kenya discovers an unexpected passion for mixology—one that teaches her what it truly means to survive in the city that never sleeps.
With an infectious score blending R&B, hip-hop, and contemporary musical theatre, Only in New York explores identity, parenthood, and mental health, inspiring anyone who has ever dared to dream.

THE WEDDING SINGER
Wright State University
Nov. 13-23
Creative Arts Center Festival Playhouse [Dayton]
The Wedding Singer takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up and a wedding singer might just be the coolest guy in the room. Based on the hit Adam Sandler movie, The Wedding Singer’s sparkling new score does for the ’80s what Hairspray did for the ’60s. Just say yes to the most romantic musical in twenty years.
