'Til Death: A Marriage Musical

Dates: February 4 – February 20
Venue: Black Box Theatre

Credits: Book & Lyrics by Jeremiah Gamble | Music by Vanessa & Jeremiah Gamble

A Twin Cities Valentine's tradition returns for its 15th hit season! This ridiculous, heart-wrenching, and squirm-inducing musical comedy traps a couple in a midlife crisis inside a tiny cabin with newlyweds. It is a lovely, laugh-out-loud look at love that asks: will their marriage survive the weekend?

“Vanessa and I had been married thirteen years when we wrote and premiered 'Til Death in 2012. And here we are fifteen years later. What a joy to be teaming up with Artistry for this Anniversary season” Jeremiah Gamble

Philly and the Dreamer

Dates: April 7 – May 2
Venue: Schneider Theater

Credits: Music, Lyrics & Book by John Cal | Based on the book Philly by Kevin Coughlin & John Cal

Production: Produced by Philly Developmental | General Managed by Bourgoin Productions

High-stakes Broadway storytelling meets the timeless spirit of classic rock. Set in 1979 Yonkers, this premiere follows Johnny, a passionate songwriter, and Phyllis, the hairdresser who could become a star. What starts out as “all-about-the-music” soon becomes dangerously complicated for everyone. When all ultimately seems lost, it's the strength of family, friends, and the unlikely legacy of one good-hearted mobster that triumphantly emerges to save the day.

“We're thrilled to bring this high-energy, multigenerational original musical to Artistry's stage. We are deeply grateful for Artistry's vision to champion new work and for their commitment to bringing original theater to the community. This collaboration is an incredible opportunity to celebrate the power of musical theater in bringing people together.”  Rebecca Rizzio, Creative Producer/Director

Barefoot in the Park

Dates: May 6 – June 6
Venue: Black Box Theatre

Credits: By Neil Simon | Co-production with Stage North Theater Company

From the legendary Neil Simon comes one of America's absolute funniest comedies. When a pair of passionate newlyweds receive a surprise visit from a loopy mother-in-earth, a disastrous matchmaking dinner with their eccentric neighbor unleashes non-stop laughs where everything that can go wrong, does.

"Our mission is to do world premieres of new plays and re-visit older, sometimes neglected plays. By pooling our time, talents and resources with Artistry, we're able to create an even better experience for audiences."  Stage North Artistic Director Peter Moore

My Fair Lady

Dates: July 29 – August 22
Venue: Schneider Theater

Credits: Book & Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner | Music by Frederick Loewe

Widely considered one of the greatest musical triumphs of all time. Adapted from George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, Lerner and Loewe's award-winning masterpiece boasts a legendary score—including 'I Could Have Danced All Night' and 'The Rain in Spain'—that continues to sweep audiences off their feet.
(Note: My Fair Lady is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).)
