About 1984 – Drama – Directed by Bobbie Bell

Rehearsals: February 10 –28, 2019 / Performances: March 1 – 17, 2019

Winston Smith, living under the totalitarian rule of the Party, has the idea of writing a diary. It is a crime punishable by death and there is no way of knowing if he is being watched. He imagines two futures—in one, a future readership in a free society think of him as a hero; in the other he is caught, executed and forgotten. Perhaps both things are true. That day, during the obligatory “Two Minutes Hate,” he wondered who else might be harbouring thoughts of rebellion, and who may be working for the Thought Police. Winston starts the diary. He writes the year, so far as he knows it: 1984. This multi-award winning adaptation of George Orwell’s ultimate dystopian novel continues to resonate throughout the world.

About Billy Elliot – Musical – Directed by Rob Winn Anderson; Co-choreographed by Daniel Hunalp & Rob Winn Anderson

Rehearsals: April 7 – 25, 2019 / Performances: April 26 – June 2, 2019

Millions of fans… thousands of standing ovations… ten Tony Awards, including Best Musical….

Set in a northern English mining town against the background of the 1984 miners’ strike, Billy Elliot is the inspirational story of a young boy’s struggle against the odds to make his dream come true. Follow Billy’s journey as he stumbles out of the boxing ring and into a ballet class, where he discovers a passion for dance that inspires his family and community… and changes his life forever.
