THE FULL MONTY
Written by Terrence McNally

Performances: Sept. 13 – Oct. 11
Rehearsals begin last
week in June.
This rollicking, pop musical sizzles with heat and heart as six unemployed factory workers boldly bare it all to earn money and self-esteem. But more than just flesh is revealed when these blue collar men strip away their insecurities to forge a hilarious and unique bond that exposes the male viewpoint of acceptance, love, and the importance of communication. Layered with a tightly woven storyline and numerous show-stopping musical numbers, this stage adaptation of the film garnered ten Tony Award nominations including Best Original Score and Best Musical.
