2024-25 Season
The Odd Couple
by Neil Simon
Directed by Susan Herrick
When fastidious, neurotic Felix Ungar moves in with the easygoing, slovenly Oscar Madison after their respective marriages fall apart, the clash of their clashing lifestyles sets the stage for a riotous exploration of friendship and the chaos of cohabitation. Packed with sharp wit, memorable characters, and uproarious situations, this timeless play brilliantly captures the complexities of human relationships and the unexpected bonds that can form in the unlikeliest of circumstances.

Miss Holmes
by Christopher M. Walsh
Directed by Kelsie Pederson and Brandon Windus
Miss Holmes reimagines the legendary detective duo with a thrilling twist. Set in Victorian London, the play features a female Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Dorothy Watson as they navigate a society that underestimates their abilities. Amidst the foggy streets and gripping mysteries, the pair confronts not only criminal masterminds but also the challenges of gender expectations. As they unravel complex cases with sharp intellect and unyielding determination, Miss Holmes delivers a fresh, empowering take on the iconic characters, blending intrigue, wit, and a touch of modern sensibility.

Seussical TYA
by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, based on the many children's stories of Dr. Seuss
Directed by Christopher Levi, Janae Erickson, and Aimee Oakley-Runyan
Did you know?
This year Boone Community Theatre turns 50, Dr. Seuss turns 120 (during the run of our Seussical TYA production, no less!), and the city of Boone turns 160 (platted in 1865 as the town of Montana). This all calls for a special celebration!
Boone Community Theatre therefore invites you to a Seussical Musical Boonsical Triple Birthday Bash, capped by a must-see performance of Seussical TYA! You are no doubt familiar with the concept of dinner theater, but have you ever encountered birthday party theater? Now you have! Each ticket includes:
- Admission to a carnival-style birthday party one hour before showtime and during intermission
- Five carnival tickets that can be used for concessions, games, or raffles
- (Kids only) A drawstring backpack for safekeeping prizes from the carnival games
- An unforgettable performance of Seussical TYA
About the Show
Now one of the most performed shows in America, Seussical TYA by Tony-winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty is a fantastical, whimsical, magical, musical extravaganza that brings to life the enchanting world of Dr. Seuss! Bursting with colorful characters and vibrant songs, the story weaves together beloved tales from the Seuss universe, featuring favorites like Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat, and the tiny Whos. As Horton endeavors to protect the microscopic planet of Who from peril, themes of friendship, loyalty, and the power of imagination shine through. With its playful rhymes, dynamic choreography, and heartwarming messages, Seussical TYA is a delightful journey for audiences of all ages, celebrating the timeless magic of Dr. Seuss's stories.
The TYA (Theater for Young Audiences) version of Seussical is a streamlined show designed for audiences of all ages. It leaves out some nonessential parts of the full musical, making it easier for kids to sit through without making it any less entertaining for adults. It is not a "junior" version of the show. Our talented cast of 24 includes community members from five different generations - from Gen Alpha all the way up to Baby Boomers! The show is presented in two 40-minute acts with an intermission.
About the Birthday Party
BCT's Seussical Musical Boonsical Triple Birthday Bash will run for one hour before each Seussical TYA performance and will resume during the show's intermission. The party will feature Dr. Seuss-themed concessions, games, prizes, raffles, photo ops, and decorations. Kids (all the way through high school) will receive a free drawstring backpack where they can stash the prizes they win playing Dr. Seuss-themed carnival games. The backpacks and nearly 2000 Dr. Seuss-themed prizes - ranging from stickers to plushies - have been donated by an area business. Other area businesses have contributed valuable goods and services to the raffles.
Each show ticket comes with five carnival tickets that can be used for concessions, games, and raffles. Additional carnival tickets will be available for purchase ($1 each or 12 for $10) at the ticket window.
We hope you will join us for this special celebration and incredible production!

Night Night, Roger Roger
by Roni Ragone
Directed by Michele Jacobsen and Homie Simmonds
In Night Night, Roger Roger, the night comes alive with whimsy and wonder as pre-teen neighbors Robin and Freddy embark on a surreal midnight adventure. Their late-night chat through a tin can on a string weaves together a tapestry of dreamlike encounters—from roller-skating grandmas and literary vampires to zany game show hosts and imaginary creatures. This enchanting comedy, a plea to savor the magic of youth, invites audiences to revel in the fantastical and hold on to their inner child just a little longer.
