| Apr 1 Romance/Romance at Herb Strauss Theater |
Romance/Romance
Book and Lyrics by Barry Harman. Music by Keith Herrmann
March 7 - April 5
Love is in the air as two separate one-act musicals become one, giving audiences a glimpse into the stories of romance seekers. The first act is a delightful romp through the romantic ennui of turn of the century Vienna based on Schnitzler's tale, The Little Comedy, as two 19th-century aristocrats meet in disguise, fall in love and worry over how to confess their true identities.
The second act is a modern look at affection and disaffection in a summer house shared by two couples in the Hamptons and is based on the Jules Renard play Summer Share. Originally an Off Off Broadway sensation that successfully moved to Broadway, Tony®-nominated Romance/Romance is a perfect change from the modern mega musical.

Known as the “kings of disco,” Village People have sold more than 100 million records worldwide since the 1970s with such career defining hits as “Macho Man,” “Y.M.C.A,” “In the Navy” and “Can’t Stop the Music.”
In 1979, the American Music Awards presented the group with the “Favorite Musical Group” award. They also won the American Guild of Variety Artist’s Georgie Award and Brazil’s 1981 Award for Best Act.
In 1980, Village People starred in their own major feature film, Can’t Stop the Music, co-starring Steve Guttenberg, Bruce Jenner, Valerie Perrine, Paul Sand, June Havoc and Tammy Grimes. It remains a popular cult film worldwide.
The group’s hits can be heard on dozens of major motion pictures including Down Periscope, Wayne’s World II, Addams Family Values and In & Out. They have also performed on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the Rosie O’Donnell Show, the Oprah Winfrey Show, Married…With Children, Good Morning America, the Caroline Rhea Show, Dick Clark’s 50th Anniversary of American Bandstand, ABC’s Disco Ball – 30th Anniversary of Disco and have made numerous appearances on VH1 and MTV.
In 2008, Village People received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame between Liberace and Betty Grable. That same year, during the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Tex., the group and 40,148 fans set a Guinness World Recordwith the largest crowd to ever dance to “Y.M.C.A.”
Most recently, the group released“Let’s Go Back to the Dance Floor,” its first worldwide single in 25 years. The song was written and produced by KC and the Sunshine Band’s Harry Wayne Casey. |

| Apr 11 The Big Bang at Herb Strauss Theater |
The Big Bang
April 11 - May 3, 2014
A madcap musical tour through history! The hysterically amusing musical extravaganza brings audiences on a whirlwind tour from creation to the present - and everything in between! Long on shtick and historical hilarity, the frenetic entertainment is based upon two producers securing millions of dollars to back a twelve hour stage history of the world. Potential investors get a taste of the most ambitious musical ever conceived as they watch eighteen side splitting numbers portraying Adam and Eve, Attila the Hun, the building of the pyramids, Julius Caesar and Columbus, just to name a few. In the process, the opulent Park Avenue apartment "borrowed" for the occasion is trashed as the two snatch furnishings to create makeshift costumes while singing and clowning their way through inventive recreations of the past, stopping occasionally for a little supplicating show biz patter. Written by Jed Feuer and Boyd Graham, the show was originally performed by its wacky creators Off Broadway.

| Apr 12 "Octifest on the Beach" Sanibel Sea School Annual Fundraiser |
Sanibel Sea School is a unique nonprofit dedicated to promoting marine conservation by deepening
the engagement of those who value, understand, and care for the ocean. Our goal is to provide a rich
personal experience with the breathtaking and diverse ecosystems found in subtropical marine
environments. We believe the more we learn about the ocean, the more weʼll love it. And the more
weʼll choose to protect it. Itʼs that simple.
Families from throughout the world have enjoyed the Sanibel Sea School experience while attending one or more of our various programs: half and full day sessions for children and adults at each of our two campuses, as well as a popular summer and holiday camp program. Proudly, we offer a number of unique scholarship programs to ensure we do not turn down clients based on a lack of financial means. Our goal is to reach the broadest range of people possible – all age groups, all backgrounds, all developmental needs. We want to create a legacy of environmental literacy through positive ocean learning experiences for everyone touched by Sanibel Sea School.
That is where your generosity comes in. Our annual Octifest fundraiser is the single largest influx
of funds to Sanibel Sea School each year and we use each penny raised very wisely. Please join
us this year to support a worthy and fun little nonprofit “where every day is a field trip.” |

The Big Bang
April 11 - May 3, 2014
A madcap musical tour through history! The hysterically amusing musical extravaganza brings audiences on a whirlwind tour from creation to the present - and everything in between! Long on shtick and historical hilarity, the frenetic entertainment is based upon two producers securing millions of dollars to back a twelve hour staged history of the world. Potential investors get a taste of the most ambitious musical ever conceived as they watch eighteen side splitting numbers portraying Adam and Eve, Attila the Hun, the building of the pyramids, Julius Caesar and Columbus, just to name a few. In the process, the opulent Park Avenue apartment "borrowed" for the occasion is trashed as the two snatch furnishings to create makeshift costumes while singing and clowning their way through inventive recreations of the past, stopping occasionally for a little supplicating show biz patter. Written by Jed Feuer and Boyd Graham, the show was originally performed by its wacky creators Off Broadway.

| Apr 24 The Big Bang at Herb Strauss Theater |
The Big Bang
April 11 - May 3, 2014
A madcap musical tour through history! The hysterically amusing musical extravaganza brings audiences on a whirlwind tour from creation to the present - and everything in between! Long on shtick and historical hilarity, the frenetic entertainment is based upon two producers securing millions of dollars to back a twelve hour staged history of the world. Potential investors get a taste of the most ambitious musical ever conceived as they watch eighteen side splitting numbers portraying Adam and Eve, Attila the Hun, the building of the pyramids, Julius Caesar and Columbus, just to name a few. In the process, the opulent Park Avenue apartment "borrowed" for the occasion is trashed as the two snatch furnishings to create makeshift costumes while singing and clowning their way through inventive recreations of the past, stopping occasionally for a little supplicating show biz patter. Written by Jed Feuer and Boyd Graham, the show was originally performed by its wacky creators Off Broadway.
