Theatre Tribute to Danny, Highlands Playhouse Season
Written By: Lance Matzke - Highlands Playhouse | Issue: 2018/03 - March
March Greetings, Laurel Readers.
It is with great pride and anticipation that we announce our 2018 theatrical season. This year will feature a celebration of the life and career of the esteemed performer Danny Kaye along with two venerable Broadway classics.
Tickets for this season will be available soon. Beginning March 1, Highlands Playhouse Patrons will have early access, allowing them an opportunity to choose their seats and collect their tickets for this summer’s shows. To become a patron, see our website or stop by our box office for more information. Season tickets will also be offered at this time. Anyone purchasing tickets for all three of our shows – in one transaction – will receive a discount of $2 per ticket. While it’s true that there’s not a bad seat in the house, popular show times such as opening nights and weekend matinees tend to fill up quickly, so don’t delay. Tickets can be purchased online or at our box office. Tickets for individual shows are $40 and go on sale to the general public on April 1.
The spirit of Danny Kaye comes to life in our season opener, “An Evening with Danny Kaye,” expertly portrayed by Helen Hayes Award-winner Brian Childers. With tenderness and great affection, Brian pays tribute to one of Broadway and Hollywood’s greatest entertainers. Sure to be a fan favorite, this one of a kind performance will run June 21–24. Don’t miss it.
Next, break out the fedora and pinstripes, because June 28–July 14 we feature the Broadway classic “Guys and Dolls.” Directed by Bill Patti and featuring talent from around the country, “Guys and Dolls” is a musical comedy worth seeing again and again. Don’t roll the dice – make sure you catch this playful production with us here at the Playhouse.
Finally, we wrap up our 2018 season with the heavy-hitting comedy “Damn Yankees.” A rousing story with plenty of curveballs, this Tony Award-winning musical tells the tale of a baseball fan who makes a deal with the devil to lead his team to victory. Not just for sports fans, “Damn Yankees” is sure to score with our audiences.
Here at The Highlands Playhouse, our goal is to bring professional productions of the highest quality to our little mountain oasis. Every season is unique, and each is its own individual journey. We hope that you will join us this summer and come along for the ride.
