Theatre at the Center will mark its 25th year of producing just across the state line in Munster, Indiana with a slate of three musicals and two plays for 2015.
The opener is On Golden Pond (February 26–March 29), Ernest Thompson's 1979 multigenerational family drama. It's followed by the first local production of the musical Big Fish (May 7–June 7), by John August and Andrew Lippa, which had a tryout in Chicago on its way to its brief run on Broadway in 2013.
In the summer, TATC will stage the Elvis Presley jukebox musical All Shook Up (July 16–August 16), followed by the Monty Python musical Spamalot (September 17–October 18), then a holiday mounting of the non-musical adaptation of A Christmas Story, adapted by Philip Grecian from the stories of Jean Shepherd and the 1983 film (set in neighboring Hammond, Indiana).
