Kilpatrick ERHEWTIGMEPƽSSVXSLMKLPMKLXXLIMRGVIHMFPIHERGMRK=IXEWQYGL[SVOEW Executive Director this show required, it was still so much fun to do! We’ve just announced out 102nd season and are very excited about the adventures we will get to create. The season begins with a classic musical about strong women, Chicago, and continues with an Agatha Christie mystery, Murder on the Orient Express. The rest of the John Viars Theatre Season includes the musical Kinky Boots, the comedy Calendar Girls, and ends with Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Of course, we can’t forget our family holiday performance The Sound of Music. The season has a little something for everyone – a full year of entertainment and value.
