1 @ 7:30 p.m. March 26 & April 2 @ 2:30 p.m. “A
Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum” V.V.C.
Theatre Arts & Music Depts. 760-245-4271 ext. TIX (849) "Tragedy
tomorrow, comedy tonight!" Broadway's greatest farce
with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim is light, fast-paced,
witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written – the
perfect escape from life's troubles. “A Funny Thing
Happened On The Way To The Forum” takes comedy back
to its roots, combining situations from time-tested, 2,000
year old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus with the infectious
energy of classic vaudeville. The result is a non-stop laugh-fest
in which a crafty slave (Pseudolus) struggles to win the
hand of a beautiful but slow-witted virgin courtesan (Philia)
for his young master (Hero), in exchange for his freedom. |

Street Standing
Room Only Productions.
760-245-4271 ext. TIX (849) brought you last season’s
smash hit, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,
brings another favorite to the stage. This classic story
of Broadway hopefuls is set in the post depression era of
the 1930s and is stocked full of toe-tapping hits like Lullaby
of Broadway, Shuffle Off to Buffalo, and We’re in the
Money. This fun-loving favorite is reminiscent of the Judy
Garland/Mickey Rooney “lets-put-on-a-show” type
films of the 40s and will promise a tap dancing chorus that
is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. “Come and
meet those dancing feet” and don’t miss out on
this High Desert premier! |

16-20 @ 7:30 p.m. & Ma7
21 @ 2:30 p.m. “Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are
Dead” V.V.C. Theatre Arts Dept. 760-245-4271 ext. TIX
(849). The play concerns the misadventures and musings of
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters from William
Shakespeare's Hamlet. Yet this play is structured as the
inverse of Hamlet; the title characters are the leads, not
minor players, and Hamlet himself has only a small part.
R&G inhabit a world completely beyond their comprehension.
Unsure of where they are going (and even of who they are
and where they come from), they depend upon others to give
their lives meaning. |
