Upcoming Theatrix Productions
Theatrix Fall 2021 Production: The Nutcracker
This fall, Theatrix presents the classic holiday story of The Nutcracker, the tale of a girl whose toy soldier comes to life on Christmas Eve and takes her on an adventure. But this isn’t the ballet! Using music that blends the traditional Tchaikovsky with an original score this is an original adaptation created by Theatrix and ready to be revived for a new cast! It’s packed with plenty of great characters, songs, and parts for kids of all ages so join Clara, the Rat King, Nutcracker, Sugar Plum Fairy, Queen Licorice Stick, and all the candies, toys, and snowflakes as they bring this magical production to life!
Theatrix Spring 2022 Production: Clue – A Whodunit Musical
A holiday at Lockwood Manor goes awry when Professor Plum’s ex, Penelope, is found dead by the swimming pool. Suddenly everyone’s a suspect in this comedic murder mystery. Miss Scarlett, Colonel Mustard, even Mrs. Peacock are on Detective Jade Johnson’s radar. But who is the real killer? That, my friends, is up to you. Cast members enrolled in this production will help create this original musical from scratch using popular murder mystery tropes and characters from the famous board game: Clue. Together, we will script an all-new musical murder mystery, including original songs, to be performed in the spring.
