This divine story about searching for fame, fortune, and a life on the stage was a classic Hollywood film starring Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers and Lucille Ball. This sassy love letter to the magic of theatre is full of memorable characters, spunk, spirit and wit.

Sweet Charity 15

by Herb Gardner | August 9-26, 2012 A comic chestnut from the 1960s!

Murray Burns believes in living life fully, even if that means going to the movies instead of looking for a job. Unfortunately, his eccentric, carefree nature makes him a questionable role model while raising his twelve-year-old nephew in New York City.

Directed by Jonathan West Featuring Matt Daniels, Thomas Kindler, Tom Klubertanz, Patrick Lawlor, Beth Mulkerron & Stephan Roselin
