The Apple Tree – August 15-25
A series of 3 musical playlets in one from the composers of “Fiddler on the Roof”. Each act has its own storyline, but all three are tied together by a common theme. Each act features someone who believes that they want something, but once they get it, they realize it wasn’t what they wanted.
Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead – September 26-October 6
A hilarious twist on Shakespeare. The play expands upon the exploits of two minor characters from “Hamlet” with brief appearances of major characters who enact fragments of the original’s scenes.
Miracle on 34th Street – November 28-December 8
A Christmas classic for the entire family. This stage adaptation of the Oscar winning movie focuses on the impact of a department store Santa Claus who claims to be the real Santa.
The Munro House Bed & Breakfast is just 2 blocks from the theater and always offers a dinner-theater-B&B package. A fun evening starts with dinner at Olivia’s Chop House, followed by the show at the Sauk Theater, and completed in a comfortable room with breakfast the next morning.
