My Fair Lady
Book and Lyrics by ALAN JAY LERNER
Music by FREDERICK LOEWE
Adapted from George Bernard Shaw's Play and Gabriel Pascal's motion picture “PYGMALION"
January 27 and February 3, 2012 at 10am
This show is the standard by which all others are measured. Based on Shaw's play and Pascal's movie "Pygmalion," with book, music and lyrics by Lerner and Loewe, My Fair Lady is triumphant. With "Wouldn't It Be Loverly?", "With a Little Bit of Luck"," The Rain in Spain", "I Could Have Danced All Night", "On the Street Where You Live", "Get Me to the Church on Time" and "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face", it's no wonder everyone-not just Henry Higgins-falls in love with Eliza Doolittle.
$8 per ticket Grades 4 and up two and one-half hours
Alexander, Who's Not, Not, Not, Not, Not, Not Going to Move
Adapted from the “Alexander” books of Judith Viorst
February 10, 2012 9:30am, 11:00am and 3pm for A.S.E.S. after school-programs
Welcome back Alexander who, in this lively musical play, is having yet another terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad experience! This time his dad gets a job in a new city so Alexander must leave his best friend, his soccer team and his great babysitter behind, but his family finds a way to make the move easier and help him understand that home is "where you're with the people who love you best of all."
$5 per ticket Grades K-6 One hour
ANNIE
April 13 and 20, 2012 10am
Big production numbers, glorious anthems, tearfully tender tunes, thrills and adventure, cute plucky kids, and loveable pooches! Annie, the legendary Tony award winning smash has continued to delight, dazzle and enchant audiences young and old for 35 years…come and see why people still rave about this Broadway blockbuster! In the newspapers, Little Orphan Annie helped lift the American spirit out of the Great Depression with tales of a courageously spirited little girl who became a beacon of hope for a brighter “Tomorrow!” On Broadway, Annie took the 1977 Tony Awards by storm, winning seven awards including Best Musical, Best Book, Best Actress and Best Original Score. Annie’s score brought us such sensational show-stoppers as “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile,” “It’s the Hard Knock Life,” “Easy Street,” “I Don’t Need Anything But You” and, of course, “Tomorrow.” In autumn of 2012, Annie will return to Broadway for a gala 35th revival, but YOU can see it HERE first, live onstage at Performance Riverside!
$8 per ticket. Grades 2 and up Two and one-half hours

Please prepare your group for being courteous audience members. Remind students
that they are seeing a live production with real actors. Movement and voices
in the audience can distract the performers, and other audience members. Since
theatre is not like a video that can rewind and playback, audience members must
be free from distractions in order to understand all parts of the story. Patrons
are, of course, encouraged to laugh when they find it funny and clap at the
end of the play to show the actors they enjoyed the performance and appreciate
the actors' efforts.
Make sure your group is aware that theatre etiquette includes
absolutely no eating, drinking, and gum chewing in the theatre. These regulations
exist both to respect the theatre space and to reduce distractions to the other
patrons. Of course, theatre etiquette also includes turning watches, pagers,
and cell phones to silent; photographic and recording devices are strictly prohibited.
