The Musical of Musicals (The Musical!)
by Joanne Bogart and Eric Rockwell

Produced by Andy Negri
Directed by Randy Barth

Come see five musicals in one! MAD will be returning home and celebrating with an exciting musical that’s all about musicals. It’s the old melodrama “You must pay the rent” but as five mini-musicals parodying and paying homage to American and British musical theatre legends: Rodgers and Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim, Jerry Herman, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Kander and Ebb. Be prepared to hear some things that sound very familiar, but in a whole new way.

General Admission Tickets $20

Tickets available here or call 240-475-8800.

A Streetcar Named Desire at Eleanor Roosevelt High School, Jan 28-30

A Streetcar Named Desire at Eleanor Roosevelt High School, Jan 28-30

ERHS Drama presents:
A Streetcar Named Desire
by Tennessee Williams

Location: Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Greenbelt. Room 007.

January 28 – 30, 2015

A Streetcar Named Desire
Play written by Tennessee Williams.
Director Allison Lehman
Assistant Director Mason Brooks

“A Streetcar Named Desire” reveals to the very depths of Blanche du Bois, a woman whose life has been undermined by her romantic illusions, which lead her to reject -so far as possible- the realities of life with which she is faced and which she consistently ignores. The pressure brought to bear upon her by her sister, with whom she goes to live in New Orleans, intensified by the earthy and extremely “normal” young husband of the latter, leads to a revelation of her tragic self-delusion and, in the end, to madness.

Presented by special arrangement with Dramatic Publishing.

Tickets are $5 in advance or $8 at the door.
Food will be sold during intermission.
