In the summer of 2011 The Haymarket Theatre Founder Fred Stuart returned to direct what was possibly the greatest Youth Theatre production ever.  Thanks to a special agreement with Theatrical Rights Worldwide, we were able to stage what was only the second-EVER amateur production of the Tony-award winning musical, Monty Python's Spamalot.  We had 49 ridiculously talented young actors, a 10-piece orchestra and several rabbits stage a production that left audiences howling with laughter and singing along to great hits like Find Your Grail.  Check out the photos below.

A classic farce of hilarious impropriety.

This February, don't miss one of the greatest comedies ever written for the stage. Just in time for Valentine's Day, Charley's Aunt tells the story of two college students who will go to any lengths to have a chance to propose to the women they love. This fast-paced, crowd-pleasing show originally broke every record when it opened in London in 1892 and has been revived repeatedly on Broadway and in movies. It is said this show has been performed every single night, somewhere in the world, since it's London opening 110 years ago. Sean McGill returns from Chicago to play the role of Fancourt Babberly who must impersonate Charley's Aunt as part of a hairbrained scheme to unite the y0ung lovers. Bobby Bonaventura directs a fantastic cast that includes: Tom Bolin, Rob Burt, Derek Cook, Sasha Dobson, Beth Govaerts, Scott Herr, Meagan Higgins, Richard Sibley and Karis Yanike.

Elwood P. Dowd is a very blessed individual. He has charm, earthy wisdom, is beloved by everyone... and has a best friend who is a six-and-a-half foot tall invisible white rabbit!

The madness begins at the Haymarket Theatre from May 25 - June 3rd, so don't miss out on this heartwarming comedy about a man and his rabbit.  Rusted Blade Productions made a name for themselves last year with a sold-out run of Beauty and the Beast.   Paden Alexander Unruh directs and Larry Mota stars in this Broadway classic.
