The Ultimate Adventure is the Ultimate Romance with Cyrano de Bergerac, An Heroic Comedy
Cyrano de Bergerac, An Heroic Comedy
By Edmond Rostand
Adaptation by Brian Hooker
Directed by Gregory Boyd
The soulful poet/philosopher and dazzling swordsman Cyrano, falls for the lovely Roxane, but ashamed of his large nose, Cyrano is unable to woo her. Instead, when he learns that Roxane loves the handsome but inarticulate Christian, Cyrano writes love letters to Roxane on Christian's behalf. She falls deeply in love with the author of the letters, unaware that Cyrano penned them. The adventure/romance is one of the greatest plays of world theatre. Recommended for General Audiences.

When you wish upon a star, your dreams can come true!
TUTS’ Humphreys School of Musical Theatre is thrilled to announce its fifth annual ACT@TUTS (Apprentice Conservatory Training at Theatre Under The Stars) program will present the Southwest Regional Premiere of Disney’s Geppetto & Son, a new stage musical based on Disney’s made for television movie “Geppetto,” September 11-13 in Zilkha Hall at the Hobby Center.
Combining the much-loved characters of the classic Disney cartoon “ Pinocchio” (along with its familiar song hits “ When You Wish Upon A Star” and “ Got No Strings”) with the popular Drew Carey television film “Geppetto,” this new take pulls fresh strings for the most famous puppet in the world.
With careful guidance by the film’s composer, Stephen Schwartz, Disney’s Geppetto & Son pairs the modern sensibility of Schwartz’s Wicked with the traditional storybook tale for a fun and fresh result.
