The Brothers Booth -
At the all-new Jewel Theater - 831 Alder, Elgin OR
A new play - is an imagined meeting of an actual, historical event. In November of 1864 Edwin Booth, the most famous actor of his age, and his younger brother Johnny (himself a matinee idol) performed in a benefit production of Shakespeare’s JUILIUS CEASAR, to raise money to erect a statue of Shakespeare in New York’s Central Park. This play imagines the evening after the play is done and the audience has gone home, where the two brothers sit and discuss family and politics. Each on the cusp of their most famous (or infamous) contribution to history. By The end of March 1865, Edwin will have played 100 performances of Hamlet on the Broadway stage (a feat not broken until half a century later) and on April 14th, Johnny (John Wilkes), will have assassinated Abraham Lincoln Gregory Rawlins plays Johnny and Grant Turner plays Edwin.

August 25 - September 9
Directed by Terry Hale
Choreography by Abigail Hale Grigg
A hilarious, coming-of-age musical about discovering that "cool" is sometimes where we least expect it.
Geek. Poser. Jock. Beauty Queen. Wannabe. These are the labels that can last a lifetime. With an unforgettable rock score from Tony Award-winning composer, Jason Robert Brown, (Parade, The Last Five Years, Bridges of Madison County) 13 is a musical about fitting in – and standing out!
Evan Goldman is plucked from his fast-paced, preteen New York City life and plopped into a sleepy Indiana town following his parents divorce. Surrounded by an array of simpleminded middle school students, he needs to establish his place in the popularity pecking order. Can he situate himself on a comfortable link of the food chain... or will he dangle at the end with the outcasts?!?

Disney's Tarzan
On the Opera House Main Stage!
September 15th - October 7
Directed by Caitlin Marshall
Based on Disney's epic animated musical adventure and Edgar Rice Burrough's Tarzan of the Apes, Tarzan features heart-pumping music by rock legend, Phil Collins, and a book by Tony Award-winning playwright, David Henry Hwang. High-flying excitement and hits, like the Academy Award-winning "You'll Be in My Heart," as well as "Son of Man" and "Two Worlds," make Tarzan an unforgettable theatrical experience.
Washed up on the shores of West Africa, an infant boy is taken in and raised by gorillas who name him Tarzan. Apart from striving for acceptance from his ape father, Tarzan's life is mostly monkey business until a human expedition treks into his tribe's territory, and he encounters creatures like himself for the first time. Tarzan struggles to navigate a jungle, thick with emotion, as he discovers his animal upbringing clashing with his human instincts.
Camelot
On the Opera House Main Stage!
November 3rd - 18th
Directed by Grant Turner
The legendary love triangle of King Arthur, Guenevere, and Sir Lancelot leaps from the pages of T.H. White’s novel in Lerner and Loewe’s award-winning, soaring musical.
Borrowing from the Arthurian legends, Lerner and Loewe’s Camelot is the duo’s fantastical masterpiece which triumphed on Broadway in a legendary original production that lead to a film version, and numerous revivals in New York, London and across the globe. Its Original Broadway Cast Album topped the charts for 60 weeks, with a rich score boasting such gems as "If Ever I Would Leave You," “I Loved You Once in Silence,” "The Lusty Month of May," and of course, "Camelot."
An idealistic young King Arthur hopes to create a kingdom built on honor and dignity, embodied by his Knights of The Round Table. His Ideals, however, are tested when his lovely queen, Guenevere, falls in love with the young Knight, Lancelot and the fate of the kingdom hangs in the balance.
