SPACE: The Musical - New Vidcast Episode
\To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the release of the first “Star Wars” movie, the Gaslight Melodrama Theatre and Music Hall is paying tribute with their latest production, which opens exactly thirty years to the day of the original “Star Wars” motion picture. Come on down dressed as your favorite "Star Wars" or "Star Trek" character and experience the most fun you’ll have all summer.
Join the crew of the USS Rent-A-Ship as their fearless leader, Captain James B. Jerk, leads them in a battle against the evil Flingons in a fight to save the Galaxy from intergalactic war. With the help of young Duke Flyswatter and the old, but wise Master Won Ton Kenobi, there’s no way this adventure could be anything short of fun. This comedic parody, which lampoons everything from Star Wars to Star Trek, is sure to be a show every techie, trekkie and family will enjoy.

A Streetcar Named Desire - Video Preview
Join the Spotlight Theatre for a staging of an American classic, Tennessee Williams' A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, starting at the Spotlight on May 11th! This celebrated play has had a long and successful run on Broadway and the road. A tragic and effective drama which ranks as one of the greatest in our theatre, the play reveals to the very depths the character of Blanche du Bois (Sheila McClure), a woman whose life has been undermined by her romantic illusions, which lead her to reject-so far as possible-the realities of life with which she is faced and which she consistently ignores. The pressure brought to bear upon her by her sister Stella (Amy Hall), with whom she goes to live in New Orleans, intensified by the earthy and extremely "normal" husband of the latter Stanley (Rikk Cheshire), leads to a revelation of her tragic self-delusion and, in the end, to madness.
