In Series Opens 2014-15 Season, September 6th


From our friends at the In Series...

The In Series to Present The Cole Porter Project in Repertory with Fatal Song: The Great Opera Murders, September 6-21 at Source

The In Series launches it's new season, entitled A Musical Feast, with two productions running in repertory at Source Theatre. Opening September 6, the In Series will remount its sell-out production of The Cole Porter Project. Directed by Greg Stevens, the cabaret-style show is a heartfelt and fun-filled romp through Porter’s incomparable words and music, as a delegation from Peru, Indiana tries to lobby Congress for national commemoration of Porter’s work. Running in repertory with The Cole Porter Project is Fatal Song: The Great Opera Murders. Directed by Rick Davis, this operatic pastiche features well-known music by various composers, such as Mozart, Massenet, Offenbach, and Puccini. High art meets low comedy in a delightfully entertaining evening. Heroines from famous operas sleuth and sing their way to discovering who’s out to get them.
