Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, setting the standards and rules of modern musical theatre. In a Western territory just after the turn of the 20th century, a high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides a colorful background for Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a feisty farm girl, to play out their love story. Their romantic journey, as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road, contrasts with the comic exploits of brazen Ado Annie and hapless Will Parker in a musical adventure embracing hope, determination and the promise of a new land.

Sweeney Todd (school edition)

An unjustly exiled barber returns to 19th century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett’s luck sharply shifts when Todd’s thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up. “Sweeney Todd” is performed by BAAY students in grades 8-12 and is rated PG-13 (parental guidance strongly recommended).

Common Ground
2026-05-16 14:00 - 2026-05-17 15:30
Dangerous Women is a diverse collective of artists, educators and performers based in Central Washington. To mark their ten-year anniversary, the group is debuting their most ambitious production to date. Opening May 16, 2026 in Leavenworth, Common Ground integrates the perspectives of Indigenous, White, Black and Latina women to gather audiences at the intersection of human and natural history. Dangerous Women’s goal in creating Common Ground is to open dialogue, entertain and enlighten audiences in surprising and spectacular ways. Women from the history of science, scenes portraying the wonder of the natural world and reflections on the diverse belief systems that fuel our choices on Earth will be featured. All scenes are original and art forms include drama, art, Latina dance, hip hop, instrumentation, singing, pole, Indigenous story-telling and drumming, shadow puppetry and spoken word. Director Rhona Baron explains, “The scope of arts and history present in Common Ground is groundbreaking.” Women in science like Marie Curie and Rachel Carson will rub shoulders with dancing Monarch butterflies and Indigenous creation stories. “Interactions between groups of people can be conflicted and complicated. But even in times of political and climate stressors, one thing is certain; we must find ways to share this planet. Dangerous Women is diving into that!”
Common Ground will open May 16 at Snowy Owl Theater at Icicle Creek Center for the Arts in Leavenworth. The production will be performed twice on Saturday, May 16 at 2pm and 7:30pm. Another matinee is offered Sunday, May 17 at 2pm. Audience “Talk Back” following each show allows ticket holders to participate and comment. Tickets are priced from $17 for students to $35 for adults and can be purchased by calling 509-548-6347 or visiting icicle.org.
