Annie Get Your Gun, the Broadway hit musical comedy. With lyrics and music by the renowned Irving Berlin, every song is a beloved classic, including, “There’s No Business Like Show Business,” “Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better),” and “You Can’t Get a Man With a Gun.” Annie Get Your Gun will star Tony-nominee and GAAR Artist in Residence Marla Schaffel as the eponymous Annie. All other roles are still open. Directed by GAAR Company Member Sean Haberle.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream, William Shakespeare’s most beloved comedy, featuring a fairy kingdom, a man who becomes a donkey, and the triumph of true love - with a little help of magic. Nicole Ansari-Cox, “Queen Gertrude” in GAAR’s 2015 Hamlet, stars. All other roles are still open. Directed by GAAR Associate Artistic Director Charles McAteer.

To Kill a Mockingbird, starring acclaimed actor Sean Haberle (“King Claudius” of GAAR’s 2015 Hamlet) as “Atticus Finch”, with NEK locals and GAAR fan favorites Macy Molleur (Helen Keller in 2014’s Miracle Worker) and Georgie Sowles (Winthrop in 2013’s The Music Man). All other roles are still open. Directed by GAAR Artistic Director Sabra Jones.

GAAR’s Kids’ Musical Theater Day Camp will culminate in a season-long run of The Sleeping Beauty. Based on a beloved Disney film’s telling of the classic fairy tale, children will star in every role. Featuring music by Peter Illyich Tchaikovsky and George Burns and songs such as “Once Upon a Dream,” audience and performers alike will be transported to a magical kingdom of acting, singing, and dancing. Abigail Demers, now in her 5th season with GAAR, is “Princess Aurora.” All other roles are still open and will be cast from participants in GAAR’s Musical Theater Day Camp.
