“At lovers’ perjuries, They say, Jove laughs”
By William Shakespeare Directed by Gary Armagnac
A tale of rapturous young love entangled in a tragic web. There are those who fan the flames of hatred, and those who dive headlong into love and peace. Shakespeare focuses it all in one story of two families and the famous young lovers who thought, or didn’t think, but believed love was possible.

From the author of Shakespeare in Love By Tom Stoppard Directed by Lisa A. Tromovitch
“A play which reminds you why you go to the theater and why you fall in
love.” —Sheridan Morley, The Spectator Tom Stoppard’s shimmering exploration
of love and betrayal, loyalty and sacrifice. One of today’s greatest minds
explores love among adults. How do we know ‘the real thing’ in love, in
life, in art? This exploration is played out in the theatrical world of
writers and actors … can they tell reality from fantasy?

At the Bankhead Theater
Wednesday
After a sold-out performance in 2008, Ottmar Liebert and Luna Negra return to the Bankhead Theater on Wednesday, July 14, 2010. This is a performance you won't want to miss! Tickets go on sale to the public Tuesday, March 23rd at 12:00 Noon.
"With his engaging mix of subdued flamenco guitar and South American percussion, rock, jazz, and pop influences, German guitarist Ottmar Liebert's "attitude" actually suppresses the more challenging and "dangerous" aspects of flamenco in favor of the romantic and the stylish. His feel for the music's innate sensuality and a gift for creating memorable melodies helped to bring flamenco to the mainstream." –All Music Guide
Liebert's incredible global success on a musical level often seems like a simple outgrowth of his cultural background and powerful wanderlust in his formative years. Born in Cologne, Germany to Chinese-German father and Hungarian mother, he began playing guitar at 11, and traveled extensively through Europe and Asia intent on fully absorbing each musical tradition he encountered. After pursuing his Rock and Roll dreams first in his native Germany and then in Boston, he abandoned the frustrations of the East coast and settled in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
By 1989, he had founded the first incarnation of his new band Luna Negra.
Nouveau Flamenco began life as a self-produced local release called Marita:
Shadows and Storms, copies of which local Indian artist Frank Howell
distributed in his art galleries. When the record found its way to radio
stations and began generating a buzz among programmers and an unprecedented
response among listeners, Higher Octave Music picked it up and released a
fully remastered version. Liebert has since become one of the most
successful instrumental artists of the past decade, thrilling audiences
throughout the world and releasing a catalog of classic recordings.

Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is the Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors that comes to vibrant life in this delightful musical parable. Joseph, his father’s favorite son, is a boy blessed with prophetic dreams. Sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to Egypt, Joseph endures a series of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged. Eventually his brothers, having suffered greatly, find themselves groveling at the feet of the brother they betrayed but no longer recognize. After testing their integrity, Joseph reveals himself leading to a heartfelt reconciliation of the sons of Israel. Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso to bubble-gum pop and rock ‘n’ roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless.
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Book & Lyrics by Tim Rice.
