Cyrano de Bergerac’ at Festival Theater with Box Supper

Includes a wonderful box supper by Cucina/2MayToz that will be waiting for you at Austin Gardens. The Club will have a section blocked off for our members and friends.

PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN LAWN CHAIRS!

Cyrano de Bergerac is a timeless tale of courage, honor and unrequited love.  Featuring Artistic Director Jack Hickey as Cyrano, France's greatest warrior and poet, who is in love with the beautiful Roxanne.  Cyrano's legendarily large nose, however, causes him to doubt that he could ever win her love, leading him to court her by proxy, through the handsome yet vapid Christian. Cyrano is a beautiful, funny and touching story filled with swordfights, romance, and laughter; and brimming with Rostand's beautiful poetry.

Sunday in the Park with George’ at Village Players

Step inside George Seurat’s famous painting, ‘A Sunday on the Island of La Grande Jatte,’ while another George, his great grandson, struggles to create his own kind of art. A story for anyone who has ever lost his way, with some of the most beautiful music ever composed for the stage.  By Stephen Sondheim &  James Lapine. Directed by Kevin Long.
