The White Plains Performing Arts Center (WPPAC) has announced an exciting and innovative new season consisting of five Mainstage productions, a Broadway Concert Series and three youth Conservatory Theatre productions.

The MAINSTAGE SEASON is dedicated to the development and production of original musicals and plays written by established and emerging playwrights, composers and lyricists, offering the audience an exciting and unique opportunity to be actively engaged in the creation of new works. Most of the productions are either World Premieres or New York Premieres so subscribers to WPPAC have an opportunity to see new works in an intimate setting before they open in New York City or other large venues.

The 2010/2011 Mainstage productions will consist of three new musicals and two plays:

October 28 to November 21
Wallenberg, the Musical celebrates the life and works of Raoul Wallenberg, one of the greatest heroes of the 20th century who proved that one man can truly make a difference.

A holiday show called That Time of the Year, which runs from December 2 to December 19, celebrates Hanukkah, Christmas and all end of the year festivals in one “terrifically funny, smart, tuneful and completely winning holiday fare” (Broadway World).

A one woman comedy called The Passion of the Hausfrau addresses the hilarious misadventures of Motherhood and pokes fun at all the mistakes, challenges and joys of parenting; this show runs from February 3 – February 13.

A funny and moving new play called Renovations tells the story of an estranged father and son who rebuild a house together and rediscover each other along the way; this play runs from March 17 to April 3.

The final production of the season is a premiere of Enchanted April, a new musical based on the story of four discontent London ladies who travel to the castle of their dreams in Italy where they discover love and the joy of living.

The BROADWAY CONCERT SERIES consists of four productions, featuring stars of the Great White Way, celebrating some of the most beloved Broadway composers and lyricists.

The music of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, Kander and Ebb and Stephen Schwartz will be performed in Behind the Mask on Saturday, October 2 at 8 pm.

Lerner and Loewe’s Greatest Hits will be presented on Saturday, March 12 at 8 pm.

Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim will be celebrated on April 9 at 8 pm. The final concert will be Broadway’s Greatest Hits on Sunday, May 15 at 2 pm.

The youth CONSERVATORY THEATRE students will study and perform three shows this coming season beginning in January: Rocky Horror Picture Show, Sweet Charity and The Wedding Singer. Anyone interested in attending or supporting the conservatory training program should contact the Education Director, Jeremy Quinn, at 328-1600.
