The Towle Theater season opens with the NWIndiana premiere musical comedy, “Murder for Two,” which is the perfect blend of music, mayhem and murder! In this hilarious 90-minute show, 2 performers play 13 roles – not to mention the piano – in a witty and winking homage to old-fashioned murder mysteries.
Officer Marcus Moscowicz is a small-town policeman with dreams of making it to detective. One fateful night, shots ring out at the surprise birthday party of Great American Novelist Arthur Whitney and the writer is killed…fatally. With the nearest detective an hour away, Marcus jumps at the chance to prove his sleuthing skills—with the help of his silent partner, Lou. But whodunit? You won’t want to miss this killer musical comedy! Murder for Two runs February 25-27, March 4-6, 11-13, 2022.
The second show of the season is the comedy, Hope and Gravity. When an elevator falls in a major city, nine lives intersect in surprising ways, both comic and tragic—through love and sex, poetry and dentistry; in offices, homes, and hotel rooms. Jill longs for Steve, who’s engaged to Barb, who hooks up with Peter, who’s already having an affair with Nan, who’s married to Marty, who subscribes to Elevator World. Meanwhile, nine stories off the ground, Douglas meets Tanya—who’s hoping to get pregnant with Hal—and a little miracle changes hands. By turns hilarious and profound, Hope and Gravity traces the barely perceivable threads that connect us all. Performances are May 6-7, 13-15, 20-22, 2022.
The summer musical at the Towle is the hilarious musical, “Reefer Madness.” Inspired by the original 1936 film of the same name, this raucous musical comedy takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the hysteria caused when clean-cut kids fall prey to marijuana, leading them on a hysterical downward spiral filled with evil jazz music, sex and violence. This musical runs July 8-10, 15-17, 22-24, 2022.
The final show of the 2022 season is The Last Lifeboat. We all know the story of how the Titanic sank…or do we? J. Bruce Ismay, chairman and managing director of White Star Lines, saved as many people as he could and finally, with no women and children in sight, he stepped into the last lifeboat…and was branded a coward and traitor forever. The world needed a scapegoat and Ismay became the perfect target. This is the story of the Titanic that‘s never been told. This epic tale explores not only the tragedy itself, but the sensationalized trials and aftermath of the night that changed the world forever. The performances for “The Last Lifeboat” are September 9-11, 16-18, 23-25, 2022.
