A Spring Full of Theater
If you enjoy the theater, this spring, you’ll be pleased with the offerings in Greater Fayetteville.
March 6/ Grown Folks Business / Crown Theater - Determined not to be like her moth, Sabrina tries to ditch the ghetto mentality she grew up with as a child. As she pursues her desire for independence, she’s introduced to a wo

March 19/Jesus Christ Superstar /Crown Theater - The first collaboration between Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to be performed on the professional stage, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR is one of the most popular and enduring works ever created for the musical theatre. Featuring such notable songs as Superstar, Everything’s Alright and I Don’t Know How to Love Him, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR earned five TONY nominations.
March 22- April 11/ The Member of the Wedding/ Cape Fear Regional Theater - What makes this story so unusual is the fact that most of it takes place through a series of conversations between three really weird people sitting in an even weirder kitchen. Nothing or almost nothing occurs here, and yet every scene is filled with a sense of something having happened, happening, and about to happen. This in itself is a considerable technical feat; and, beyond that, there is magic in it. 
March 23/ Wizard of Oz / Crown Theater - Twelve children from the Fayetteville area will be performing the roles of “munchkins.” Dorothy, Toto and their friends the Cowardly Lion, Tin Man and Scarecrow are transported “Over the Rainbow” to adventures in Munchkin Land, the Haunted Forest and the Emerald City. Features the classic songs, as composed by Harold Arlen, “Over the Rainbow,” “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead” and “If I Only Had A Brain.”
April 15-May2/ Lysteria/ The Gilbert theater - This classic Greek comedy tells the story of one woman’s mission to end the Peloponnesian War by convincing the women of Greece to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands as a means of forcing the men to negotiate a peace. Lysistrata’s strategy incites a battle between the sexes until reconciliation is achieved at the end.
April 23-May 9/ Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks/ Cape Fear Regional Theater - Audiences around the world have fallen in love with this heartwarming comedy where dance helps two very different people - an elderly widow and a young dance instructor - escape their lonely lives to find friendship and meaning.
