Les Miserables
Students from the Actors Training Center present their Summer production of Les Miserables, directed by Janet Louer and presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International.
COMEDY AT THE METTE! Hey You Millionaires This comedy trio consists of a playwright, a published humor author, and a high school English teacher. Over the last year, they have toured their show through New York, Los Angeles, Cleveland, Seattle, and Washington DC. That same show has been described as 'smart', 'inventive', 'heavyweight', 'dark comedy' - though, full disclosure, those were from several different reviews. They have recently been featured on CNN.com, and in a cover story for Fortune Magazine.
But all they really want to do, is make you laugh!
