MONTY PYTHON’S

SPAMALOT

BAKERSFIELD MIST HOLIDAY SHOW

BOOK AND LYRICS BY ERIC IDLE MUSIC BY JOHN DU PREZ AND ERIC IDLE SEPTEMBER 9 - OCTOBER 11, 2015

Lovingly ripped off from the classic film Monty Python and The Holy Grail, this saucy musical parody tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. On a quest for the Holy Grail, the Knights encounter flying cows, killer rabbits, and taunting Frenchmen while performing heartstopping musical numbers. Winner of three Tony Awards including “Best Musical”, SPAMALOT elevates silliness to an art form.

BY STEPHEN SACHS | OCTOBER 14 - NOVEMBER 15, 2015

Fifty-something and in-between jobs, Maude spends her last few dollars on a thrift store painting which she’s convinced is a Jackson Pollock worth millions. When renowned art expert Lionel Percy arrives at her trailer park home in Bakersfield to authenticate the painting, cultures, and class attitudes collide.

Stephen Sachs’ colorful new comic drama asks what makes art– and the people who create it–truly authentic.

DECEMBER 2, 2015 - JANUARY 3, 2016

In the spirit of A Christmas Carol, A Tuna Christmas, and It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, Orlando Shakes will present an exciting and heartwarming production in the Margeson Theater during the 2015 holiday season. Stay tuned for more details!

BY MARK ST. GERMAIN | JANUARY 6 - FEBRUARY 7, 2016

DANCING LESSONS THE TEMPEST PERICLES VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE

When socially awkward professor Ever Montgomery is forced to attend an event with dancing, he seeks out an injured Broadway performer for help. As their relationship blossoms, both loners are caught off guard by the hilarious and heartwarming discoveries they make about one another. Mark St. Germain’s modern odd couple tells a sweet love story while exploring the reality of disability and Asperger’s syndrome.

BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE | FEBRUARY 10 - MARCH 27, 2016

Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, finds himself stranded on a remote and mystical island with only his daughter Miranda for company. Seeking revenge against those who conspired against him, Prospero conjures a powerful storm to shipwreck them. Just as retribution is finally within reach, Miranda falls in love with Ferdinand, son of one of the conspirators, putting her relationship with her father to the ultimate test.

BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE | FEBRUARY 24 - MARCH 26, 2016

In Shakespeare's most fantastical tale, Prince Pericles of Tyre finds his life is in danger after solving the puzzle of a murderous king. Forced to flee across the seas, he embarks on an odyssey in search of adventure, riches, and a lost princess. As he travels to parts unknown, the prince discovers the ultimate satisfaction is simply coming home.

BY CHRISTOPHER DURANG | MARCH 30 - MAY 1, 2016

Winner of the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play. Vanya and his adopted sister Sonia live a quiet life in a Pennsylvania farmhouse, while their movie star sister Masha travels the world. When Masha appears for an unannounced visit with her 20-something boy toy in tow, the weekend builds to a fever pitch of rivalry, regret, and racket. Mixing Chekhov sensibilities with modern cringe-worthy flair, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike is a delightfully off-kilter romp.

All 2015-2016 titles and dates are subject to change.
