In August and September, the Marian Theatre and the Solvang Festival Theater host a creative tribute to the legendary thespian himself, William Shakespeare. Lucha’s struggle to find bandmates, confront gender-norms, and help her mother promises to be overflowing with comedy, love, and vibrant music. Set in the 1970’s, follow the story of Lucha, who has fallen into the daily routine of taking care of her sick mother when she decides to break boundaries and form an all-girl mariachi band. The progressive comedy American Mariachi, by Jose Cruz Gonzalez, plays in July at the Marian Theatre and in the open-air at the Solvang Festival Theater in August. Recreations of the 1920’s and 1940’s will be sure to fill the stage along with heartfelt songs of romance and redemption. Written by Steve Martin and Eddie Brickell, Bright Star is based on a true story of two love stories in the early 20th century American south. Next, the Grammy- and Tony-nominated bluegrass musical Bright Star comes to life at the Marian Theatre in April and May before heading over to the Solvang Festival Theater in July.
The story follows the young Victorian woman Emma, as she comedically fumbles her attempts to marry off her friend Harriet while navigating her own love life. The story has been adapted by Joseph Hanreddy, who previously worked on PCPA’s Jane Austen book adaptations of Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. Jane Austen’s classic novel, Emma, makes its theatrical premiere in March at the Marian Theatre, and moves to the Solvang Festival Theater in June and July.
Cinderella nails full#
Can a dolphin masquerade as an attractive man? Or will he return to his life as an aquatic bachelor? The lyrical play promises to be full of mystery, romance, and drama all set in a fishing village on the bank of the Amazon River. Legend has it that Amazon river dolphins sometimes take the guise of humans and attempt to seduce women into marrying them. In February and March the Severson Theatre features The River Bride, a theatrical rendition of an old Brazilian folktale by playwright Marisela Trevino Orta. Families will be able to celebrate the holidays with a show of magic, romance, and villainy. The family-friendly musical was last performed by PCPA in 2015 and now it’s back with new twists, old friends and the distinctive music of Rodgers & Hammerstein. First up is a new Broadway retelling of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s classic musical, Cinderella, at the Marian Theatre November 10 to December 23.
