The Canterbury Summer Theatre in Michigan City will kick off its 56th season with the theme "Murder and More!"

Welcome to “Urinetown,” a dark comedy musical that satirizes capitalism, rebellions, politics, corporate greed and the idea of the musical itself.With music by Mark Hollman, book by Greg Kotis and lyrics by both Hollman and Kotis, “Urinetown” opened at the Jerry Herman Ring Theatre on Friday, April 19. The production is directed by Maha McCain,

From April 20-29, the Ring put on the musical “Lucky Stiff,” and the stiff got stiffer as the plot unfolded. Considered a musical farce because of its hilarious entrances and exits, the Ring’s production proved it worthy of this title.

If you want to see a musical comedy about a man pushing his dead uncle in a wheelchair from England to Monte Carlo, look no further than the spring musical. From April 20 to April 29, students can see “The Lucky Stiff” at the Jerry Herman Ring Theatre.
