Amazing things are coming your way in 2025 and we are so excited to welcome you all to the next year of adventures with the Heritage Players Community Theater!
The Black Hearts Ball is the theme for the 2025 Songs of the Stage Fundraiser. We’ve been hosting this event for several years now and look forward to the variety of performers that have submitted their auditions so far for this event. Tickets will go on sale the first full week of January and will be $20 per person. This is a limited seating event and we will have just 100 tickets available for the public for the one night only event on Saturday, February 8th.
Our spring play will be a comedy by Ken Ludwig titled, “Lend Me a Soprano”. The play is set in 1934, when the clever and combustible Lucille Wiley, Manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, is ready to welcome world-class soprano Elena Firenzi for her one-night-only starring role in Carmen. Alas, Elena arrives late, her impassioned husband Pasquale has a fit of jealousy, and it remains to be seen whether Mrs. Wiley’s mousy but determined assistant Jo can save the day. The play is based on Ludwig’s Tony Award-winning “Lend Me A Tenor”, the roles are reversed and the ladies take the lead in this comedy guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter. The show will be directed by Jay Schueller.
This summer we are excited to bring the popular musical “Little Shop of Horrors” back to the Pine City stage. The horror comedy rock musical, by composer Alan Menken and writer Howard Ashman, about a hapless florist shop worker who raises a plant that feeds on human blood. Seymour Krelborn, a shy and nerdy florist assistant, discovers a strange and unusual plant that he names Audrey II after his crush, Audrey. Seymour convinces his boss to display the plant, which attracts customers and saves the failing florist show. Seymour soon discovers that Audrey II needs more than just water to grow and he makes a deal to keep his fame and fortune. This show will be directed by Emily Schueller.
