A few of our favorite theatres are Dark this week in preparations for upcoming shows….
…..but you can still see West Side Story playing at Harbor Playhouse this weekend!
The world’s greatest love story takes to the streets in this landmark Broadway musical that is one of the theatre’s finest accomplishments. Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” is transported to modern-day New York City, as two young idealistic lovers find themselves caught between warring street gangs, the “American” Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks. Their struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice is one of the most innovative, heart-wrenching and relevant musical dramas of our time.

ABOUT THE SHOW
Adapted by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan; Lyrics by Mel Brooks; Music by Mel Brooks and Blen Kelly.
Two theatrical producers scheme to get rich by overselling interests in a Broadway flop. Complications arise when the show unexpectedly turns out to be successful. The humor of the show is accessible to a wide rang of audiences as it draws on ridiculous accents and caricatures.
They are working hard at the Rialto Theatre in Aransas Pass preparing for opening weekend of “Lone Star Love Potion” Opening July 14th!
This funny farce is set on a Texas ranch. Rich Edward Stancliffe’s heirs have gathered to read his will. An assortment of neighbors has stopped in, a flash flood is sweeping through town, and love is in the air – or at least in a thermos. It seems that eccentric old Uncle Edward has left behind his company’s secret formula – a thermos full of South American Love Potion. Of course, no one believes in love potions – or do they? As the characters plot and question, hilarious hi-jinks ensue. Nothing is as it seems, but in the end, one thing is certain – The Lone Star Love Potion is packed with laughs as big as Texas!
