P.T. Barnum, the Greatest Showman on Earth, combines razzle-dazzle with charm and brass to sell “humbug” to cheering crowds. A joyful and moving musical portrait of the 19th century’s greatest show-biz legend, Barnum is a colorful, dynamic spectacle with heart. Cy Coleman and Michael Stewart’s rousing score includes “There’s a Sucker Born Every Minute,” “Join the Circus,” “The Colors of My Life” and “Come Follow The Band.”

BARNUM debuted on Broadway in 1980 and featured notable songs like "The Colors of My Life" and "Come Follow the Band." Jim Dale played Barnum, earning a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical. The West End production opened in 1981 with Michael Crawford in the lead role (earning an Olivier), further cementing the show's popularity. The West End production is available on video.

Southgate Community Players Announce PLAY ON!

January 31, 2019

This February Southgate Community Players are continuing their 2018-19 Main Stage Season Productions with hilarious comedy Play On! This sidesplitting play takes us through a group of thespians' trials as they desperately attempt to put on a play in spite of exasperating changes from an egotistical playwright who keeps revising the script. Everything in this production (down to the sound effects) is outright hysterical!
