HEADSHOT!
An Original Production created by
MB ADAPTORS and Millikin University
Directed by Kari Magolis with original
music and multimedia by Tony Brown
September 29 - October 2
Albert Taylor Theatre, Tickets: $12-14
A surrealistic audition has a group of actors wondering what the invisible yet omnipotent directors might be seeking and what may be required of them. The fierce competition among them, however, makes the goal of winning take precedence over all else. HEADSHOT takes a sideways look at our need for acceptance and our desperate search for individuality.

On the eve of his fourth marriage, millionaire playboy, Jimmy Winter encounters a lady bootlegger named Billie Bendix who sets his world on its ear. Originally starring TONY Award winners, Matthew Broderick and Kelly O’hara, this uproarious new musical features a lavish score of Gershwin favorites.
SOLSTICE A CONCERT OF DANCE
December 8 - 10
Albert Taylor Theatre; Tickets $10
Join us as we unveil a collection of original works in a live- action art opening. A bare stage is the blank canvas with which the choreographer works. Dancers are her paints. Her imagination is her brush. The possibilities are endless and the results, breath-taking.
MAURITIUS
By Theresa Rebeck
March 23 - 26
The SPEC; Tickets $10
After their mother's death, two estranged half-sisters discover a book of rare stamps that may include the "crown jewel" for collectors. In this gripping tale, a seemingly simple sale becomes dangerous when all the characters are willing to do anything to claim the rare find as their own.
AS YOU LIKE IT
By William Shakespeare
April 6 - 9
Albert Taylor Theatre; Tickets $12-14
When all the world’s a stage, love triangles become quadrangles, and gender-bending, disguises, wooing, betrayal, and song all combine to create one of Shakespeare's most popular romantic comedies. "Love is merely a madness” indeed!
HEATHERS: THE MUSICAL
Book, Music, and Lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and Kevin Murphy, Based on the film written by Daniel Waters May 4 - 7
Albert Taylor Theatre; Tickets $16 - $18
A darkly delicious story of misfit Veronica Sawyer and the shoulder-padded, scrunchie-wearing Heathers: the hottest and cruelest girls in all of Ohio. The vicious social order of high school is upset with the entrance of Veronica’s dark and sexy new boyfriend J.D. and his plans to put the Heathers in their place—six feet under.
