Shirley Jones, Farah Alvin, et al. Set for Gretna Theatre's Summer Season

Gretna Theatre has announced their summer season, which will include a performance by Shirley Jones in AN EVENING OF STORIES AND SONGS on May 21. Also in the line-up are Brad Little and Barbara McCulloh in A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC and Farah Alvin in FUNNY GIRL. 

Gretna Theatre's 84th Summer Season also includes "Nunset Boulevard: The Nunsense Hollywood Bowl Show" running June 2 - 5 only. "This is the seventh and final "Nunsense" show by author Dan Goggin," said Frenock, "and we are thrilled to present the Pennsylvania and mid-Atlantic premiere of the show directed by the author.

All five of the terrifically funny characters are back, including our favorite, Sister Amnesia!" The comic antics of the fictional Little Sisters of Hoboken have played in thousands of productions world-wide and have even been blessed by the grade school Nuns the author based his series on.

Following will be the classic Lerner and Loewe musical "My Fair Lady" June 9 - 19, "Sisters of Swing: The Story of the Andrews Sisters" June 23 - 26, Stephen Sondheim's "A Little Night Music" June 30 - July 10, Agatha Christie's "The Unexpected Guest" July 14 - 17 and the classic "Funny Girl" July 21 - 31. Performances are Thursdays at 2:00 and 7:30, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 and Sundays at 2:00 weekly during the season. The vast majority of ticket prices have remained the same as last year with the exception of premium seating: Evenings are $36 and $40, Matinees are $30 and $34 each, with discounts available for seniors and groups. Student tickets to any mainstage show
