  • “Tina - The Tina Turner Musical” | Feb. 13-18, 2024 | The show opens in Nutbush, Tennessee, where a young Tina Turner (born Anna Mae Bullock) is singing in church. The rest, of course, is history.
  • “Beetlejuice” | March 12-17, 2024 | Based on the 1988 Tim Burton film, this musical promises to be “strange and unusual.”

  • “Hairspray” | June 11-16, 2024 | Join Tracy Turnblad in 1960s Baltimore as she becomes an overnight celebrity and sets out to change the world.
