SUMMARY:Bat Boy
DESCRIPTION:The Musical-Horror-Comedy-Thriller\, Based on a Shocking True Story! \nNew Line kicks off its 34th season with the return of one of the funniest\, smartest musicals in recent years\, BAT BOY. Created by Keythe Farley\, Brian Flemming\, and Laurence O’Keefe\, this outrageously entertaining rock thriller is based on a bizarre and hilarious story ripped from the headlines of the satirical tabloid The Weekly World News. The musical tells the strange tale of a half-boy\, half-bat discovered in a West Virginia cave\, sparking a heartwarming yet freaky journey that defies expectations. \nIn 1992\, the Weekly World News first described the bat child this way: “Discovered in a cave in Hope Falls\, West Virginia\, this half-bat has escaped from captivity and is currently at large. He can be identified by large\, pointy ears and oversized eyes that make him profoundly sensitive to sound and light. The creature has reportedly attacked at least 3 people with his razor-sharp fangs and should be considered extremely dangerous.” Since then he has become a national hero and he even went to Afghanistan\, where his instincts were particularly useful in caves\, to fight the Taliban. Now\, finally\, his real story can be told. \nBAT BOY tackles a range of bold topics\, like American prejudice\, modern religion\, genetic engineering\, even inter-species sex. Think of it as Little Shop of Horrors meets Les Misérables meets Dracula\, with its own unique blend of big-hearted comic horror that will have you checking under the bed at night and nibbling on your loved ones during the day. \n  \nOpening Night After Party: Friday\, Oct. 3\, our audience is invited to stay after the performance to meet the cast and staff \nBohemian Night: Thursday\, Oct. 9\, all tickets $20\, for all the starving artsies out there \nPost-Show Talk-Back: Saturday\, Oct. 18\, Q&A with the cast and staff\, after the performance \nCollege Free Seats: Ten free seats set aside for every performance\, open to any college student with a valid student ID.

The creature has reportedly attacked at least 3 people with his razor-sharp fangs and should be considered extremely dangerous.” Since then he has become a national hero and he even went to Afghanistan\, where his instincts were particularly useful in caves\, to fight the Taliban.

SUMMARY:New Line Theatre Presents: RENT
DESCRIPTION:ADULT CONTENT & LANGUAGE\nHow do you measure a year in the life? \nNew Line closes its 33rd season with Jonathan Larson’s Pulitzer Prize winning cultural phenomenon\, the long-running rock opera Rent. This cheerfully transgressive\, 1990s rock/pop riff on a classic story\, set in New York City’s East Village\, is best described in its creator’s own words: “In these dangerous times\, where it seems the world is ripping apart at the seams\, we can all learn how to survive from those who stare death squarely in the face every day and we should reach out to each other and bond as a community\, rather than hide from the terrors of life at the end of the millennium.” \nA show about connection and healing seems like a story we need right now\, maybe more than ever before. \nRent was nominated for a staggering ten Tony Awards and won four\, including Best Musical\, Best Score\, and Best Book. It also won six Drama Desk Awards\, three Obie Awards\, the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical\, an Outer Critics Circle Award\, and a Drama League Award. And the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The original production ran more than twelve years and over five thousand performances — it’s still one of the top ten longest running musicals in Broadway history — and the 2010 off Broadway revival\, opening just three years after the original closed\, ran another year. \nThe New Line cast includes Dereis Lambert (as Mark Cohen)\, Nathan Mecey (Roger Davis)\, Corrinna Redford (Mimi Marquez)\, Sarah Lueken (Maureen Johnson)\, Aarin Kamphoefner (Angel Dumott Schunard)\, Chris Moore (Tom Collins)\, Victoria Pines (Joanne Jefferson)\, Aaron Tucker (Benjamin Coffin III)\, and Ben Carlson\, Rafael Da Costa\, Chelsie Johnston\, Brittany Kohl\, Sofia McGrath\, Rachel Parker\, Adrienne Spann\, Cade Sturgeon\, and Lauren Tenenbaum. \nThe New Line production will be directed by Scott Miller and Chris Moore\, with choreography by Chelsie Johnston\, music direction by Randon Lane\, scenic design by Rob Lippert\, sound design by Ryan Day\, and costume design by Zachary Thompson. \nNew Line last produced Rent in 2014. Rent is produced by arrangement with Music Theatre International\, New York. \nPraise for New Line’s 2014 Production \n“If you think you’ve seen Rent before\, you really haven’t.”\n– Chris Gibson\, BroadwayWorld \n“A kind of immediacy it probably hasn’t had since its debut Off-Broadway.”\n– Rob Weinert-Kendt\, American Theatre \n“Bringing stunning characters furiously to life\, in all their contradictions.”\n– Richard Green\, TalkinBroadway \n“Sharp\, incisive and viscerally moving. . . a masterpiece of stagecraft\,\na composition as visually stunning as it is sonically powerful. . .\npacked with unforgettable moments.”\n– Paul Friswold\, The Riverfront Times \n“An intimate\, emotionally charged production filled with memorable performances.”\n– Tina Farmer\, KDHX \n“The question was could New Line Theatre show me something the\nnational tour hadn’t? The answer came last Saturday night: Yes.”\n– Christopher Reilly\, Alive Magazine \n“A powerhouse evening of theater.” – Christopher Reilly Alive Magazine

SUMMARY:New Line Theatre Presents: RENT
DESCRIPTION:ADULT CONTENT & LANGUAGE\nHow do you measure a year in the life? \nNew Line closes its 33rd season with Jonathan Larson’s Pulitzer Prize winning cultural phenomenon\, the long-running rock opera Rent. This cheerfully transgressive\, 1990s rock/pop riff on a classic story\, set in New York City’s East Village\, is best described in its creator’s own words: “In these dangerous times\, where it seems the world is ripping apart at the seams\, we can all learn how to survive from those who stare death squarely in the face every day and we should reach out to each other and bond as a community\, rather than hide from the terrors of life at the end of the millennium.” \nA show about connection and healing seems like a story we need right now\, maybe more than ever before. \nRent was nominated for a staggering ten Tony Awards and won four\, including Best Musical\, Best Score\, and Best Book. It also won six Drama Desk Awards\, three Obie Awards\, the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical\, an Outer Critics Circle Award\, and a Drama League Award. And the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The original production ran more than twelve years and over five thousand performances — it’s still one of the top ten longest running musicals in Broadway history — and the 2010 off Broadway revival\, opening just three years after the original closed\, ran another year. \nThe New Line cast includes Dereis Lambert (as Mark Cohen)\, Nathan Mecey (Roger Davis)\, Corrinna Redford (Mimi Marquez)\, Sarah Lueken (Maureen Johnson)\, Aarin Kamphoefner (Angel Dumott Schunard)\, Chris Moore (Tom Collins)\, Victoria Pines (Joanne Jefferson)\, Aaron Tucker (Benjamin Coffin III)\, and Ben Carlson\, Rafael Da Costa\, Chelsie Johnston\, Brittany Kohl\, Sofia McGrath\, Rachel Parker\, Adrienne Spann\, Cade Sturgeon\, and Lauren Tenenbaum. \nThe New Line production will be directed by Scott Miller and Chris Moore\, with choreography by Chelsie Johnston\, music direction by Randon Lane\, scenic design by Rob Lippert\, sound design by Ryan Day\, and costume design by Zachary Thompson. \nNew Line last produced Rent in 2014. Rent is produced by arrangement with Music Theatre International\, New York. \nPraise for New Line’s 2014 Production \n“If you think you’ve seen Rent before\, you really haven’t.”\n– Chris Gibson\, BroadwayWorld \n“A kind of immediacy it probably hasn’t had since its debut Off-Broadway.”\n– Rob Weinert-Kendt\, American Theatre \n“Bringing stunning characters furiously to life\, in all their contradictions.”\n– Richard Green\, TalkinBroadway \n“Sharp\, incisive and viscerally moving. . . a masterpiece of stagecraft\,\na composition as visually stunning as it is sonically powerful. . .\npacked with unforgettable moments.”\n– Paul Friswold\, The Riverfront Times \n“An intimate\, emotionally charged production filled with memorable performances.”\n– Tina Farmer\, KDHX \n“The question was could New Line Theatre show me something the\nnational tour hadn’t? The answer came last Saturday night: Yes.”\n– Christopher Reilly\, Alive Magazine \n“A powerhouse evening of theater.” – Christopher Reilly Alive Magazine
