Join us in spring, 2020, for Metropolis the Musical. Part gothic horror story, part science fiction romance, Metropolis presents a grim view of a futuristic city dominated by machines. Human energy is ruthlessly harnessed to benefit only the elitists who live above ground. The workers toil beneath the earth's surface working with monstrous machinery in ten hour shifts to keep the city alive. Based on the 1927 silent movie of the same name, Metropolis was staged at the Piccadilly Theatre in London in 1989, with music by Joe Brooks and lyrics by Dusty Hughes. Metropolis will be performed eight times on the following dates: March 13th, 14th, 20th, 21st, 27th and 28th at 7:30pm and March 15th and 22nd at 3pm.
