Shakespeare By Monkeys

By: Kamron Klinkaard

Director: TBD

Show Dates:

July 2026

At TBD

Synopsis: Any good research scientist knows that theories are only theories until they’re proven.  But some theories are nearly impossible to test, such as the Infinite Monkey Theorem, which states that a monkey, randomly hitting keys on a typewriter for an infinite amount of time, will eventually produce the complete works of William Shakespeare.  
Well, infinity isn’t standing in the way of Dr. Hubble!  He’s determined to prove the theory correct by assembling a cast of zany assistants and six monkeys, whose only job is to get writing using a variety of writing devices!  But Dr. Hubble soon learns that the task may prove even more difficult than infinitely impossible.

Synopsis: When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. But he’s not prepared for the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, who is determined to exercise control over the town’s youth. When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid. The heartfelt story that emerges pins a father longing for the son he lost against a young man aching for the father who walked out on him. 

To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated Top 40 score, augmented with dynamic new songs, Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people while guiding them with a warm heart and open mind.
