Pandora Productions opens its 2013-14 season on Thursday, September 12, with Boy Meets Boy, a high spirited musical homage to the romantic screwball comedies of the '30s. This story of love triangles, mistaken identities and fast-moving intrigue is set in London during the abdication of King Edward VIII for the notorious Mrs. Simpson. Reporter Casey O' Brien learns of preening groom Clarence who's been jilted at the altar by the mysterious 'English Rose' and becomes obsessed with finding this charming and good looking stranger but instead ends up with a very big surprise.

Pandora Productions kicks off its 2013-14 season Thursday night with the hotly anticipatedNaked Boys Singing!, a theatre songfest that's all about celebrating the male body.

Pandora Productions kicks off its 2013-14 season in just nine days with Naked Boys Singing!, the needs-no-explanation (but we will: audiences are gonna LOVE IT) musical originally slated for Pandora's '12-'13 season but postponed due to casting issues. But that didn't dissuade us from making this most requested of all time production - a celebration of the male body yet much, much more - happen as the hottest kickoff ever to start the season.

Pandora Productions is pleased to announce the appointment of Kevin Borland as President of the Louisville-based theatrical organization and Todd Mercier as Vice President. Both have also joined Pandora's Board of Directors.

Pandora Productions brings down the curtain on its 2012-13 season with a fiercely fun, campy comedy called 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche [swear ;-)]. Set amongst the shenanigans surrounding 'The Susan B. Anthony Society for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein's' annual quiche breakfast circa Cold War-era 1956, the title alone (!) begs Kentuckiana audiences to see what The New York Times described as 'raw and magnetic dementia destined to attract a cult following.'

Pandora Productions brings down the curtain on its 2012-13 season with 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche beginning this Thursday, June 20, and continuing June 21, 22, 27, 28, 29 @ 7:30 p.m.; June 23 & 30 @ 5:30 p.m.; and Saturday, June 29 @ 2:00 p.m. at The Henry Clay Theatre, 604 S. 3rd St., 3rd Floor, Downtown Louisville.

Just 4 weeks after the Supreme Court's landmark decision to hear arguments regarding California's Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) Pandora Productions proudly presents "8", an unprecedented account of the Federal District Court trial in Perry v. Schwarzenegger (now known as Perry v. Brown).

The musical version of Manual Puig's 1976 novel first saw life in 1990. Despite having been begotten by theater royalty, Kiss of the Spider Woman got off to a rocky start before becoming one of the big musical hits of the '90s. Four-time Tony Award winner Terrence McNally adapted the book. John Kander and Fred Ebb (Cabaret, Chicago, Master Class) wrote the music. The producer was Harold Prince (Phantom of the Opera, Evita, Sweeny Todd), who has won more Tony Awards than anyone in the history of mankind (that would be 21).

Pandora Productions today announced that it will close the 2011-12 season with MY BIG GAY ITALIAN WEDDING.

Pandora Productions announces its presentation of BARE, described as 'an exhilarating theatrical experience that will resonate with audiences of all ages. Reminiscent of Rent and Spring Awakening, this rock opera is a youth quake for the 21st Century that's all about issues of social acceptance, sexual preference, religious beliefs and family values. An incredibly current commentary on the American zeitgeist, it couldn't be more timely. Book by Jon Hartmere, Jr. and Damon Intrabartolo, lyrics by Hartmere and music by Intrabartolo.'
