November 16-17, 2012
Banished by her usurping uncle, Rosalind seeks refuge in the Forest of Arden, where
her father, Duke Senior, holds court with his followers. There, disguised as a young
squire, she instructs Orlando, the man she secretly loves, in the ways of a woman's
heart - only to acquire a new and unexpected admirer.
Full of wit, wisdom and song, and featuring one of Shakespeare's most engaging
heroines, this is high romantic comedy at its richest and most delightful.
Winterfest
February 1-2, 2013
Winterfest is WCSPA's annual celebration of dance and musical theatre. This unique
student-centered performance blends dance, music, acting, and technical design to
showcase the amazing talents of our students. You will be tapping your feet and singing
along to many Broadway favorites as you enjoy solo features, duets, and group
performances by students in all levels. Winterfest allows students to take on leadership
and expand their creativity through directing, choreography, design and performance.
Snoopy! - A Children's Musical
March 22-23, 2013
It's remarkable! Fantastic! Entertaining! Yes, Charles M. Schulz has done it again.
SNOOPY!!! (the musical sequel to YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN) deserves
each of its three exclamation points.
This series of effervescent vignettes, songs and dances involves the audience in the
entertaining world of these five-year-olds and their furry friend. Then, looking up at the
starry sky before the closing number, Charlie Brown remarks "I think that there must be
a tiny star out there that is my star..." Indeed, just as there is a star for everyone,
SNOOPY!!! is sure to delight and entertain audiences of all ages.

May 17-18, 2013
MAN OF LA MANCHA is a remarkable show and one of the great theatre successes of
our time. This is a play-within-a-play, based on Cervantes' Don Quixote. In the character of Don Quixote, we have a poignant story of a dying man whose impossible dream
takes over his mind. Song favorites such as, It's All the Same, Dulcinea, I'm Only
Thinking of Him, The Impossible Dream, I Really Like Him, and Little Bird remain in
your thoughts and in your soul well after you see the show.
Don Quixote's dream is every man's dream and the adventure of every man or woman.
Somehow, the footlights disappear, time is telescoped and the "Man of La Mancha"
speaks for humankind in timeless truths.
