MEET THE CAST of “archy & mehitabel” !!!

This dark comedy is a gem in the canon of musical theatre that many consider to have been lost to time- if it has even been considered at all!

Rarely has this play been seen, only having graced the Broadway stage in 1957 for less than 50 performances starring Eartha Kitt. And Chita Rivera was her understudy!

The tale of “archy & mehitabel” lives on, and is now revived, running at the Broadwater Black Box for a limited time, grab your tickets now before it’s too late!

March 7-16th
Fridays and Saturdays 8pm / Sundays 3:30pm
