Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center. Gildenhorn Recital Hall, reserved seating.

In this poetic and visceral song cycle, Shakespeare’s darkly tragic King Lear is distilled to its musical essence. Movement, words and choral songs performed in Latin, Polish and English render the iconic story of a man who loses everything that defines him. In 12 compelling episodes that each conveys a crucial scene from the play, this musical exploration of the text elevates melody to become the embodiment of character, relationships and drama. Songs of Lear, created and performed by the multi-award-winning Polish theater company Song of the Goat Theatre, took top honors in the 2012 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Join the artists for a conversation with the audience following the performance.

Guys and Dolls by 2nd Star Productions at the Bowie Playhouse, May 27-June 25

Guys and Dolls by 2nd Star Productions at the Bowie Playhouse, May 27-June 25

2nd Star Productions presents
Guys and Dolls
May 27 – June 25, 2016
Directed by Debbie Barber-Eaton
Choreographed by Andrew Gordon

2nd Star Productions at the Bowie Playhouse

Guys and Dolls is a musical romantic comedy involving the unlikeliest of Manhattan pairings: a high-rolling gambler and a puritanical missionary, a showgirl dreaming of the straight-and-narrow and a crap game manager who is anything but. The show takes us from the bustle of Times Square to the dance clubs of Havana to the sewers of New York City as it demonstrates the great lengths to which a guy will go when he truly falls in love with a “doll.” Guys and Dolls features some of Frank Loesser’s most memorable tunes, including the hilarious “Adelaide’s Lament,” the romantic “I’ll Know When My Love Comes Along,” the exuberant “If I Were a Bell,” and the classic “Luck be a Lady.”

May 27 through June 25, 2016
Fri and Sat at 8 PM, Sun at 3 PM
