FEEDING BEATRICE: A GOTHIC TALE
By Kirsten Greenidge
Jan. 20 – Feb. 6, 2022
June and Lurie Walker have a haunting new houseguest – and she’s ravenously hungry. When Beatrice arrives, she burrows so deeply into their existence that she unearths dark secrets with explosive consequences. Expertly crafted, this spine-chilling thriller evokes the terror of Get Out and the suspense of Hitchcock’s Psycho.
RODGERS + HAMMERSTEIN’S CINDERELLA
Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
New Book by Douglas Carter Beane
Original Book by Oscar Hammerstein II
March 10 – April 3, 2022
This contemporary take on the timeless fairytale features beloved Rodgers and Hammerstein songs like “In My Own Little Corner” and “Impossible/It’s Possible,” alongside a hilarious and romantic story that adds new characters and surprising twists. This rags-to-regal story parallels Aurora Theatre’s journey, from humble beginnings, from producing plays in the old Parson’s Hardware to fulfilling the dream of living in a modern-day palace. This show celebrates the future of possibility in an arts center 14 years in the making, because as all good fairy godmothers know, “Even miracles take a little time!”
SWINDLERS
A world premiere farce by Chris Anthony Ferrer
May 19 – June 5, 2022
Swindlers is a hilarious new farce that centers around bungling burglars, Jerry and Miles, who are set to make easy pickings of a millionaire Miami mansion. Things become complicated, as the situation turns wildly hysterical in a circus of window breaking, code name using, bearskin rug scaring, people killing events that reveal a chance for these small-time crooks to make the biggest score of all time. The madcap caper? Finding the $300 million diamond first and getting out alive!
