WHAT’S PLAYING THIS WEEKEND?<br /> April 26-28, 2024<br /> <br /> O P E N I N G T H I S W E E K E N D<br /> <br /> SEUSSICAL (Opens April 26)<br /> Based on Dr. Seuss’s beloved characters. The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton the Elephant as he embarks on an adventure to save Jojo and the Whos. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant. From Theatre Harrisburg. Performances will be held at Whitaker Center for the Arts, Harrisburg<br /> <br /> SOMETHING ROTTEN (Opens April 26)<br /> Welcome to the Renaissance! Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as “The Bard.” When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing, and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. At Keystone Theatrics/The Playhouse at Allenberry.<br /> <br /> EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE… (Opens April 27 – one weekend only)<br /> Little Kids in an Aquarium (LKA) is an up-and-coming Harrisburg-based experimental theatre company specializing in neofuturism. They are very funny. Trust us. They also do sad and dramatical stuff sometimes. So look out for that. You will cry. Hosted by Open Stage. <br /> <br /> C O N T I N U I N G<br /> <br /> FOREVER PLAID (Through May 5)<br /> “Forever Plaid” is one of the most popular and successful musicals in recent memory. This deliciously fun revue is chock-full of classic barbershop quartet harmonies and pitch-perfect melodies. At Little Theatre of Mechanicsburg. <br /> <br /> THE RAINBOW FISH MUSICAL (Through May 10)<br /> Rainbow Fish is the most beautiful fish in the ocean and all of the sea creatures admire his beauty. When Rainbow Fish refuses to share his vibrant scales, the ocean creatures turn against Rainbow Fish. After seeking out the wise Octopus, Rainbow Fish learns that it is better to be admired for being kind than being beautiful. At Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre.<br /> <br /> RAGTIME (through May 12)<br /> Set in early twentieth-century New York, three diverse American family tales are woven together. United by their courage, compassion, and belief in the promise of the future, they confront history’s timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair. At Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre.<br /> <br /> I N T H E W I N G S<br /> <br /> HAY FEVER (Opens May 10)<br /> Novelist David Bliss, retired actress Judith and their two adult children head to the countryside for a relaxing weekend — but instead, they find that each family member has invited a guest, unbeknownst to the others. Thus begins a weekend of over-the-top theatrics, family arguments and romantic escapades that make the four guests realize the Bliss family is more than they bargained for. Written by famed playwright Noël Coward, this rollicking farce confirms that there’s no such thing as a “normal” family. <br /> <br /> WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME (Opens May 11)<br /> Fifteen-year-old Heidi Schreck earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States. In this hilarious, hopeful, and achingly human show, Heidi resurrects her teenage self in order to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives. At Open Stage.<br /> <br /> MRS LINCOLN (Opens May 30)<br /> Ten years after her husband’s tragic assassination, Mary Todd Lincoln was declared insane, upon petition of her son, and confined to the Bethlehem Place Sanitarium, Batavia, Illinois. This play is set within the confines of Mrs. Lincoln’s room and traces her recalling moments and episodes of her past life, far beyond the four walls that surround her. Her wandering mind allows her thoughts to take form for the audience, and each brings new incidents into focus. At Little Theatre of Mechanicsburg.<br /> <br /> THE COMEDY OF ERRORS (Opens May 31)<br /> Join Gamut Theatre for its 31st Annual Free Shakespeare in the Park production. <br /> “The Comedy of Errors” follows identical twins (both called Antipholus) with identical manservants (both called Dromio), separated in infancy by outrageous circumstances. One Antipholus now lives with his Dromio, his wife Adriana and her sister Luciana in Ephesus, while the other pair has just arrived from Syracuse. A romp of mistaken identity and misunderstandings ensue, resulting in a reunion of separated twins and their parents. From Gamut Theatre. Performances will be held at Levitt Pavilion, Reservoir Park, Harrisburg.<br /> <br /> Visit these theatres’ websites for ticket information or go to <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fpaonstage.com%2F&amp;h=AT1lEgwwBhPbsw-KS3Y91OMkacF0BFyEf8DGop-lyFfPH7-uoRf6kvFJcyVIdYzu3bgdvx43nDogN1w0Zi_XAqv2P-o258si8MC-UzIF2pNViuvJO1qNqAnZ2CCZ_ZGJZ0zDwD4pdbhO6jxNHqS3cxqTgmYDgXPEsUe5AdbFhYo" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank" data-lynx-mode="asynclazy">paonstage.com</a> for details.
