THE STAR SPANGLED GIRL
By Neil Simon
June 8 - 26, 2016 | NKU Robert and Rosemary Stauss Theatre

San Francisco, 1966. Andy and Norman are two young radicals barely making a living publishing their magazine that nobody reads. Everything's swell until Sophie, an all-American girl and self-described "religious follower of Sports Illustrated", moves in next door, sending the boys into a romantic tail spin. Will a love-fest, a love-triangle, a love-in, a sit-in, or a political falling-out ensue? The fun and freewheeling play out with the masterly skill and inventiveness that are the hallmarks of a Neil Simon comedy.
Director: Nathan Gabriel

SOME ENCHANTED EVENING
The Songs of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein
Concept by Jeffrey B. Moss
July 6 - 24, 2016 | NKU Robert and Rosemary Stauss Theatre

More so than any composer and lyricist who have written for the stage, the works of Rodgers & Hammerstein have become musical theatre classics that have forever defined the genre: Carousel, Cinderella, The King and I, Oklahoma, South Pacific, and more. Although the partnership's final collaboration, The Sound of Music, was composed 25 years ago, their musicals are as solidly entrenched, as mass-adored as ever. SOME ENCHANTED EVENING gives the audience a chance to relive the best of the duo's music in a single evening. This stunning collection of compositions promises a glorious parade of genuine hits.
Directors: Ed Cohen and Dee Anne Bryll
Choreographer: Dee Anne Bryll
