Open Stage in Harrisburg, PA will present Mart Crowley's THE BOYS IN THE BAND, directed by Stuart Landon, closing the company's 40th anniversary season.

Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas is a must-see. It will appeal to audiences of all ages, and the overflowing energy of joy and love will carry you out into the world filled with hope at a time when we so desperately need some hope.

Open Stage will host the Pennsylvania premiere of Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas, a heartwarming live stage musical based on the 1977 Jim Henson holiday television special and the illustrated book by Russell and Lillian Hoban.

This delightful comedy, directed by Kelli Kauterman, is the perfect way to kick off the summer season. The cast doesn’t miss a beat. It is not easy to perform outside, surrounded by a host of distractions and noise, but this cast is fully engaged in their characters and the story, and they bring the audience along for the ride.

The original “Pride and Prejudice” was written in 1813 and has sold over 20 million copies and inspired many adaptations in written form, television, or film. Kate Hamill offers a unique twist on the antics of the 5 daughters in the Bennent family. You will be laughing out loud at the physical comedy and fast pace of the show.
