An Early Look at Stratford's 2015 Season

It's only about four hours (depending on highway construction and how long it takes to cross the border into Canada ) to drive from Jackson to the Stratford Festival and experience first class theater. The 2015 Season seems heavy on audience favorites like The Sound of Music and Carousel. Shakespeare is represented by Hamlet, Taming of the Shrew, and Love's Labour's Lost. Read more HERE .

The Croswell (Adrian, MI) Presents. . .

The Croswell, in downtown Adrian, continues is 2014 Broadway season of shows with the big-hearted, high-flying hit musical, Catch Me If You Can, July 18 – 27. Based on the book and hit 2002 Dreamworks movie, this jazzy and spirited musical follows the real-life story of Frank Abagnale, Jr., a world-class con artist who runs away from home in search of the glamorous life. With nothing more than his boyish charm, a big imagination and millions of dollars in forged checks, Frank successfully poses as doctor, a lawyer and a jet pilot, even winning the girl of his dreams – all before the age of 21!  With straight-arrow FBI agent Carl Hanratty on Frank’s tail, the show offers a jet-setting, cat-and-mouse chase all set to a swinging ‘60’s score and a cast full of flashy show girls! Catch Me If You Can runs Friday & Saturday, July 18 & 19 and 25 & 26 at 8:00pm, with 2:30pm performances on Saturday July 26 and Sundays July 20 & 27.
