ABOUT THE SHOW
Gravedigger: The Musical is an original dark-comedy, rock-musical that tells the story of a beautiful girl who dies of a rare condition only two days short of her nuptials. Much to her parent’s dismay, the fiancé absconds with her corpse to bury her himself in their favorite part of the Spooky Woods. He enlists the help of the local Gravedigger to assist with his labor of love. But in a twist of fate, the Gravedigger falls in love with her and plots to spend the rest of their lives together. However, her parents regain her corpse and a desperate chase across the desert on a train ensues.

HELP A CHILD • SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Proceeds from performances of Gravedigger: The Musical will support OYES’ Help A Child Scholarship Fund.

Young Actors Ensemble Performances

The Love of Three Oranges

A COMEDY BY Hillary DePiano  |  Based on a scenario by Carlo Gozzi

Forget all your dusty misconceptions about the traditions of Commedia dell'Arte as The Love of Three Oranges, based on a scenario by Carlo Gozzi, provides a wild, raucous slapstick comedy that is completely retooled and revised for today's audiences!

Prince Tartaglia's life is filled with misery until an evil witch and her equally evil henchmen curse him to search for three giant oranges. But this quest proves more fruitful than anyone could have imagined as a once-lonely prince discovers love, friendship, and laughter when he  encounters wizards, monarchs, and a wild narrator who isn't sure how far removed from the story he really is.

JUNE 10 & 11
