August 26 - September 11, 2022

Produced by The Gateway THE CHER SHOW is based on the life of Cherilyn Sarkisian La Piere Bono Allman or as her friends call her, Cher! The kid on a tricycle, vowing to be famous. The teenage phenom who crashes by twenty. The glam TV star who quits at the top. The would-be actress with an Oscar. The rock goddess with a hundred million records sold. The legend who’s done it all, yet still scared to walk on stage.

The wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend. The woman, looking for love. The ultimate survivor, chasing her dream. They’re all here, dressed to kill, belting out all the hits, telling it like it is. And they’re all the star of The Cher Show. Your favorite songs are all there including “I Got You Babe,” “The Beat Goes On,” “Bang Bang,” “If I Could Turn Back Time,” “The Shoop Shoop Song,” and “Believe.”

 

We go into the Gateway Playhouse's rehearsal space for a sneak peek into their production of AS YOU LIKE IT. From banjo to wrestling, this classic comedy feels like a modern day sitcom.

 

Shakespeare's classic romantic comedy is about maturing in love. When Duke Frederick banishes his niece Rosalind, she dresses as a man and escapes to the Forest of Arden to find her exiled father, and soon finds herself tangled in web of love triangles. Music, song, and mistaken identities abound as Rosalin tries to teach the man of her dreams about love, and get him to see her for who she really is.

 

 

As You Like It

1776 

At the John W. Engeman Theater

Ring in the election year with 1776, the classic Tony Award®-winning musical about how the founding fathers drafted the Declaration of Independence and gave birth to a new nation. A unique show that presents John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin in all their fractious, fascinating complexity, 1776 features beloved songs such as “Sit Down, John,” “Cool, Cool, Considerate Men,” and “He Plays the Violin.” This show will remind you of how far America has come – and how little we’ve changed.
