Mamma Mia! • August 22-24, 2019
Music & Lyrics by Bjorn Ulvaeus & Benny Andersson; Book by Catherine Johnson
Start TCT’s 50th season with a Tony award-nominated musical fresh from the “other” Broadway in NYC. ABBA’s hits tell the hilarious story of a young woman’s search for her birth father. This sunny and funny tale unfolds on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter’s quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago.

A Christmas Story • December 12-14, 2019
By Philip Grecian based on the 1983 movie by Jean Shepherd, Leigh Brown & Bob Clark
TCT’s Christmas present to you is a Christmas classic sure to get you in the spirit for the holidays.  This memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the 1940s follows nine-year-old Ralphie Parker in
his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. Ralphie pleads his case before his mother, his teacher, and even Santa Claus himself at Higbee’s Department Store. The consistent response: “You’ll shoot your eye out!” 

Of Mice and Men • January 23-25, 2020
By John Steinbeck
Ring in the new year with a poignant classic drama. Based on John Steinbeck’s tragic novel, Of Mice and Men tells the tale of two great friends and their struggle to live the American dream.  George and mentally-challenged Lenny have been traveling together from ranch to ranch for years, working hard to make ends meet and save enough for a place of their own.

Moon Over Buffalo • March 5-7, 2020
By Ken Ludwig
Greet the Spring season with a sidesplitting Ken Ludwig favorite. Charlotte and George Hay are traveling actors performing Cyrano de Bergerac “revised, one-nostril version” and Noel Coward’s Private Lives in a repertory theatre in Buffalo in 1953 when they receive word that they might just have one last shot at stardom – Frank Capra is coming to town to see their matinee.

Spamalot • April 23-25, 2020
By Eric Idle
TCT’s 50th season ends on a high note with another Tony award-winning hit musical, the outrageous and irreverent Spamalot. Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and features a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits, and French people. Did we mention Tony awards? And a bevy of beautiful show girls?
