Purchase tickets Here

Join us this Friday night, February 10th at 7:30 p.m., for the opening of An American in Paris! It's sure to be a magical evening as this stunningly beautiful show comes to life on our historic stage.

There's nothing better than a romantic story, with timeless musical numbers, and amazing dancing. Treat your valentine to a lovely evening out including the show! Set in the French capital in the wake of World War II it follows a young American soldier (played by Marcus Granlund - pictured), a beautiful French girl (played by Bryn Skaff - also pictured), and an indomitable European city – each yearning for a new beginning in the aftermath of international conflict.

The production is inspired by the Academy-Award winning 1951 film, and the new stage musical which features a score by George and Ira Gershwin. Familiar songs include “I Got Rhythm,” “The Man I Love,” “Shall We Dance,” and more. Directed by Angela Baltezore with choreography by Jacob Gutiérrez-Montoya (Choreographer of our recent hit, In The Heights), it's a do-not-miss! Performances are set for Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2:00 p.m. through March 5.

Reminder:

We recently learned that Amazon will discontinue the Amazon Smile program at the end of this month. The "Smile" program has been a wonderful way for the WOH to bring in additional funds, and it couldn’t be easier for our patrons to utilize. If you’re not familiar, when ordering on Amazon, you could place the order at smile.amazon.com and then designate the Woodland Opera House as receiver of a percentage of your order total.

We are grateful for those who have placed orders through Amazon Smile to our benefit in the past. Please continue ordering through the end of the program on February 20. When the program closes, Amazon will average our last two months of dividends and then send us a check for 3x that amount. Thank you for helping us to make the most of this upcoming change.
