From September through May, the Kalamazoo Civic Theatre will have at least one production running on the Mainstage, Carver Studio or Parrish Theatre spaces. Executive director Laura Zervic and Artistic director Anthony Hamilton join Cara Lieurance to run through the 12 productions, kicking off with "Six: The Musical—Teen Edition" on Sep 13.
The Civic will commemorate its history with the return of Dancing at Lughnasa, the play that earned a Civic company a place in an international competition in the late 90s. Hamilton's choice for the season's riskiest production is the musical Parade, which tells a true story of American anti-Semitism taken to its worst extreme. The January production of "Well" has a local tie: it was written by Kalamazoo College graduate and "Fun Home" lyricist Lisa Kron. At the holidays, Rogers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella" will run Nov 29 - Dec 22.
