Nov 13:Light Up the Sky - Even after 60 years since it's Broadway debut, Light Up The Sky is still a rollicking comedy!

Combine oddball personalities quipping witty one-liners with the flamboyant antics of kooky eccentrics, and it can only lead to over-the-top hysterics. The frenzied pace of this story has an undeniable panache that has made it a time-honored favorite and an exuberant reminder of Broadway's glory days. Showtimes are Nov. 13, 14, 19, 20 & 21 at 8 p.m. Sunday matinees are Nov. 15 and 22 at 2 p.m.
