We are excited to announce our lineup for the 2011 season!
“Born Yesterday” Dec. 31, 2010 – Feb. 5, 2011
Launching the 2011 season is Garson Kanin’s comedy classic of romance, payola, trickery and hilarity run amok. The Tony Award-winning Broadway hit follows how a wealthy junk dealer works to weasel his way into a little congressional payback.
“A Tale of Two Cities” Feb. 16 – April 9, 2011 Regional Premiere
The sweeping retelling of Charles Dickens’ masterpiece is set during the French Revolutionary War and features a French aristocrat attempting to escape a scandalous heritage. He flees to England and falls in love, but his past torments his future. The production’s music, book and lyrics are by Jill Santoriello.
“The Hasty Heart” April 16 – May 28, 2011
Hale Centre Theatre brings John Patrick’s world-class story to Salt Lake City. “The Hasty Heart” is set in a World War II hospital with the entire cast trying to cajole a cantankerous Scotsman.
“Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” June 7 – July 23, 2011
Winner of 11 Tony Awards and 10 Drama Desk Awards, “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” is a fresh, new musical by Jeffrey Lane and David Yazbek. The production is adapted from the popular 1988 movie.
“Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” Aug. 2 – Sept. 24, 2011
HCT brings back the popular musical, which it last performed in 2002. “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” which has received seven Tony Award nominations, follows Joseph’s rise from slavery to fame and fortune in Egypt, while touchingly featuring brotherhood, love and devotion. Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber bring the biblical tale to life with charm and brilliant coloring.
“My Fair Lady” Oct. 4 – Nov. 26, 2011
This winner of 6 Tony Awards written by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe is considered one of the greatest works of American musical theatre. Eliza Doolittle, an ignorant, common flower girl blossoms into a glorious rose under the tutelage of one Professor Higgins. The time-honored score includes “On the Street Where You Live,” “With a Little Bit of Luck,” “Get Me to the Church on Time,” “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Your Face” and “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?”
“A Christmas Carol” Dec. 3 – Dec. 23, 2011
HCT’s nationally acclaimed Christmas tradition, adapted by Richard Wilkins and Barlow Bradford, is now in its 27th year. Marley’s Ghost reminds the stingy mercenary, Ebenezer Scrooge, that “mankind should be his business.” Dickens’ carol of redemption seeks to reclaim Scrooge’s heart.
Season tickets go on sale soon to current season tickets holders. Individual tickets and season tickets go on sale to the general public on August 1st. We look forward to seeing you at the theatre!!

Another great season as usual. Thanks gang. 🙂
I am beyond excited about the inclusion of “A Tale of Two Cities” in the season. I wanted to make a trip to see it on Broadway, but it closed before I got the opportunity. I don’t know how you managed to score the rights to it, but thank you, thank you!
