In this rollicking musical with music and lyrics by Cole Porter, book by Dorothy Fields and Herbert Fields, three unlikely cousins, (including one who picks up radio waves with her teeth) inherit a San Antonio Ranch. Despite their lack of familiarity with each other, the cousins join together to transform the ranch into a boarding house for soldier’s wives. Romantic and military complications quickly arise. When it opened in 1943, The New York Times raved, “This is the musical comedy for which Broadway has been waiting a long, long time.” The top drawer Porter songs include The Leader of a Big-Time Band, Something for the Boys, Could It Be You?, Hey, Good Lookin', By the Mississinewah, and He's a Right Guy. SOMETHING FOR THE BOYS will be directed by Daniel Witzke, with music direction by Dave Dobrusky and choreography by Staci Arriaga.

In this hilariously heartwarming story, a prequel to Copeland’s hit solo show Not a Genuine Black Man, a young Brian heads to the “mean streets” of Oakland to buy his mom a Christmas present. When he finds the perfect gift – a jewelry box in the White Front store – six-year-old Brian sets out to earn the required $11.97 by Christmas. Rife with references to 1970s Oakland, THE JEWELRY BOX follows Brian’s adventures as he scours the “help wanted” ads, applies for jobs, and collects bottles, inching his way toward the perfect Christmas gift. After making its World Premiere in 2013, the show was an instant success, selling out shows and proving popular with audiences and critics alike.
