A seldom-produced gem from Rodgers and Hammerstein, this sparkling musical stands out as their sole work initially crafted for film and subsequently adapted for the stage in 1992. The storyline traces the Frake family's journey from their family farm to the 1946 Iowa State Fair. Reminiscent of Thornton Wilder's masterpiece Our Town, the Tony Award-winning State Fair follows siblings Margy and Wayne coming of age on the midway, finding love, heartbreak and deeper life lessons that they will carry with them long after the fair closes.

On the desolate English moors, two sisters and a dog pass their days dreaming of love and power. However, when a hapless governess and a moor-hen appear, the trio's lives take a strange and dangerous turn. A new contemporary classic sweeping stages across the country, The Moors is a wild, romantic, vicious and frighteningly funny black comedy that pitches camp in the dark romantic world of 1840s England, then increasingly blows that world apart in a genre-busting mix of Gothic revenge, existential philosophy and quantum physics.
