“We want our patrons to feel good when they leave the
theatre and happy to return. That’s
why we are excited to present these shows for our second full season at the
Maltz. They feature great music,
singing, dancing and laughter.” said Peter Croken, Managing Director of the
Maltz. “And we listened to what
people were saying about the pricing. Next
season will be more affordable, with more choices and flexibility,”
In addition to the five productions announced, other changes
underway for the 2005/2006 season include an all new pricing structure. Matinees
and previews have been reduced to just $25. Evening performances will feature
tiered pricing for the orchestra and mezzanine. Orchestra seats will now range
from $40 to $45 and mezzanine seats from $32.50 to $37.50. “We think this will
allow everyone to choose a performance that fits their lifestyle,” said Croken.
Furthermore, nearly 50 nights of special engagements will be
added throughout the year with a few summer shows expected to be added in July
and August. “The special engagements are what set this theatre apart from the
other regional theaters, making this venue a true entertainment destination,”
Croken adds. “We had tremendous success with our special engagements this
season and look to diversity and offer more in 2005/2006.” The summer shows
and special engagements will be announced in the coming months.

DINETTES

This Tony nominated musical is a story about love and life by

one side of the road run by four guys who provide service with a smile and a
song. On the other side of the road are the Cupp sisters who own the diner where
fun is always on the menu. It’s a rock and roll, country music extravaganza
served up with good old fashioned home-cookin’ and plenty of octane.

THE TIN PAN ALLEY RAG
Featuring the songs of Irving Berlin and Scott Joplin

publishing capital of the world. One April afternoon, the King of Ragtime, Scott
Joplin, pays a visit to the office of a young, upstart songwriter named Irving
Berlin. This new musical portrays a meeting between the two songwriting giants
for a humorous, tuneful evening featuring their most enduring songs from

Wonderful dancing! Unforgettable Damon Runyon characters!
Guys and Dolls revolves around Nathan Detroit, the organizer
of the oldest established permanent floating crap game in New York, who bets
fellow gambler Sky Masterson that he can't make the next girl he sees fall in
love with him. The next girl Masterson sees just happens to be the pure-at-heart
Salvation Army reformer, Miss Sarah Brown, and the stage is set for a hilarious
evening of complications.
BAREFOOT IN THE PARK
Written by Neil Simon
March 21 – April 2
Barefoot In The Park follows the
lives of newlyweds Paul and Corie Bratter as they adjust to married life in a
tiny Greenwich Village apartment. The middle-aged Lothario residing
upstairs flirts. Joy turns to anguish. There is little doubt that the young
people will kiss and make up by the end of the picture, just as there's little
doubt that the mother and the neighbor will find each other.
Neil Simon at his best.
