1. Mamma Mia!
We all have dreams, but Sophie’s is more unique than most. Our young bride-to-be is determined to discover the identity of her father before her big day, so she does what any curious individual would do and secretly invites all three of her possible dads to a sunny Greek island in hopes of uncovering the mystery. Using the chart-topping songs of ABBA, this jukebox musical reminds us that friendships, understanding, and connections are what actually create a sense of belonging. Join us as we explore the bond between a mother and a daughter as they navigate their way through personal growth and learn to cope with anything life throws at them. It’s time to spend some “Money, Money, Money” so you can dance, jive, and have the time of your life.
