While regional theatres often lean towards staging Tony winning, crowd pleasing musicals, occasionally one may boldly look towards a show that is off the beaten path and lacks a trophy cabinet full of awards. Austin Playhouse has done exactly that with their current production of Triumph of Love and has unearthed a hidden gem of a show in the process. Still, even the most sparkling of diamonds could benefit from a little bit of polishing.

Princess Leonide of Sparta has fallen hopelessly in love with Agis, the rightful heir to her kingdom. Unfortunately Agis has sworn to kill the Princess and reclaim his throne. In order to win his love, Leonide takes on a series of increasingly absurd disguises and woos not only Agis, but also his over-protective aunt and uncle. In the end she learns that true love means revealing her true self and hoping that love will indeed triumph.

Casting has been announced for Casa Manana's production of High School Musical. Michael Kadin Craig and Jenny Gulley will lead the cast as Troy and Gabriella. Cameron Wade will play Sharpay Evans and Logan Hart will portray Ryan Evans. The rest of the cast will include Cyndi Steele-Harrod, Brian Mathis, Erica Dorfler, Luke Longacre, Sarah Zeringue, Cori Lynne, Cody Jenkins and Christopher Messina.
