Fresh from its Broadway run, Head Over Heels-featuring the songs of 80s music icons The Go-Go's-will make its Midwest premiere at The Ringwald. Running from May 10 to June 10, this production will replace Fun Home on The Ringwald's season calendar.

Getting Old Sucks, devised and directed by CDE Ensemble Members, Scott Dare and Michele Stine, explores the aging process through individual experiences. Don't let the title fool you. Getting Old Sucks chases stories from all walks of life, diving deep into moments from pain and satisfaction to despair and elation. When did you last play hide-and-seek? Do you know how much a coffin costs? This production prods at the absurdity in the monotony of our trek through this timeline called, life. Aging may have its challenges, but it is also filled with precious moments that last a lifetime.

Back by popular demand, 54 CELEBRATES ARETHA FRANKLIN, will return for one performance only on February 17th, at 9:30pm, in a concert directed and produced by Robert W. Schneider.

Actor's Express presents the outrageous musical Head Over Heels, featuring the songs of The Go-Go's, July 20 - August 25, 2019. Directed by Artistic Director Freddie Ashley, Actor's Express will stage one of the first post-Broadway productions of this bold new musical comedy. 'It's hard to imagine what we need right now more than joy. And that's what you get with Head Over Heels - pure, gleeful, unabashed joy,' Ashley says. 'It's one of the funniest musicals I've ever seen on Broadway and the infectious music of The Go-Go's is the perfect complement to James Magruder's razor-sharp script. You won't be able to stop smiling.'
