Hailed by the New York Times as "rich, vivid, satisfying theatre," Terrence McNally's Tony Award-winning Master Class makes its long-awaited area debut at Moline's Black Box Theatre May 15 through 24, this opera-themed comedy a show that, according to The Hollywood Reporter, "will be talked about for years to come whenever people point to theatre experiences that genuinely deserve to be labeled by the overused word ‘great.’”

Lauded by the Los Angeles Times as “fresh, funny, and simply terrific” and by the Boston Globe as “a rollicking girls' night out,” the song-filled stage sequel Menopause the Musical 2: Cruising Through “The Change” brings its tour to the University of Dubuque's Heritage Center on May 12, the Las Vegas Review Journal adding that “dollar for dollar … it's the best show in town!”

Kitty: Jeramie Coleman’s charm was a wonderful contrast to Antonio Stone’s severity. Watching the two of them clash so fiercely was riveting.

Mischa: For sure. And there was a third actor, Dwayne Hodges, who provided a big contrast to both Stone and Coleman, but delivered an equally compelling performance.

Winner of five 2006 Tony Awards and described by Variety magazine as “superior, smartly crafted pastiche,” the joyous musical-comedy spoof The Drowsy Chaperone will be staged at the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts May 1 through 10.
