A Midsummer Night’s Dream Tuesday, October 21 @ 8 pm $20 Adults / $10 Students Boni Belle Brooks Series Presented by Warehouse Theatre of Greenville Love is splendid – except when it’s completely ridiculous! Shakespeare’s most beloved comedy examines the complexities of what we do for love. Longtime friends become teenaged rivals, the king and queen of the fairies behave like fools and wreak havoc on the very laws of nature itself, and a band of tradesmen turned actors find more than they bargain for in the forest. Join Puck and the rest of these indelible characters in a fast-paced race to untangle Cupid’s knots.
Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story Thursday, January 29 @ 8 pm $40 Adults / $20 Students Boni Belle Brooks Series The world’s most successful rock and roll musical, Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story, continues to thrill audiences around the world. The show tells the story of Holly through his short, yet spectacular, career and features classic songs such as “Peggy Sue,” “That’ll Be the Day,” and “Chantilly Lace.”
