Leaving Iowa
By Tim Clue and Spike Manton
Sept. 28, 29, & Oct. 5 at 7:30 p.m., and Oct, 6 at 1 p.m.
A heartwarming combination of nostalgia and humor, tears and laughter, Leaving Iowa is the story of Don Browning, a middle-aged writer, who returns home and decides to finally take his father's ashes to his childhood home, as requested. This father-and-son road trip shifts smoothly from the present to Don's memories of the annual, torturous vacations of his childhood. Leaving Iowa is a postcard to anyone who has ever found himself or herself driving alone on a road, revisiting fond memories of his or her youth.
Sense and Sensibility
By Kate Hamill, based on the novel by Jane Austen
Feb. 8, 15 & 16 at 7:30 p.m., and Feb. 9 at 1 p.m.
A playful new adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved novel follows the fortunes (and misfortunes) of the Dashwood sisters—sensible Elinor and hypersensitive Marianne—after their father’s sudden death leaves them financially destitute and socially vulnerable. Set in gossipy late 18th-century England, with a fresh female voice, the play is full of humor, emotional depth, and bold theatricality. Sense and Sensibility examines our reactions, both reasonable and ridiculous, to societal pressures. When reputation is everything, how do you follow your heart?
Hello, Dolly!
Book by Michael Stewart; Music and Lyrics by Jerry Herman; Based on the play “The Matchmaker” by Thornton Wilder
Oct. 25, 26, Nov. 1 & 2 at 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 28 at 2 p.m.
This blockbuster Broadway hit bursts with humor, romance, high-energy dancing, and some of the greatest songs in musical theatre history. The romantic and comic exploits of Dolly Gallagher-Levi, turn-of-the-century matchmaker and “woman who arranges things,” are sure to delight our audiences!
The Fantasticks
Book and Lyrics by Tom Jones; Music by Harvey Schmidt
March 7, 8, 9 at 7:30 p.m., and March 9 at 2 p.m.
The Fantasticks is the longest-running musical in the world and with good reason: at the heart of its breathtaking poetry and subtle theatrical sophistication is a purity and simplicity that transcends cultural barriers. The result is a timeless fable of love that manages to be nostalgic and universal at the same time.
Artist Series
Christopher MacRae, tenor
Tuesday, Oct. 9, at 7:30 p.m.
Having been praised for “his musicality and dramatic portrayals” as well as possessing “a beautiful and sonorous tenor voice,” Christopher MacRae has appeared across Canada and the United States in a wide range of repertoire. We are pleased to host Dr. MacRae for the first time at JBU!
Jubilant Sykes, baritone
Thursday, Feb. 28, at 7:30 p.m.
Perhaps no vocalist of our time possesses a more exquisitely versatile instrument than the Grammy nominated baritone Jubilant Sykes. Mr. Sykes brings a new dimension to the traditional career of the classically trained vocalist by drawing on gospel and jazz influences to deliver performances in differing musical genres that often leave audiences and critics searching for new superlatives. JBU is delighted to host Mr. Sykes again in this special performance!

Pianist Kwan Yi has performed throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia in such venues as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Kimmel Center, Kennedy Center, Chicago Symphony Center, Kravis Center of the Arts, Großer Sendesaal des Hessischen Rundfunks, Auditorium du Louvre, Teatro Principal de Alicante, and Seoul Arts Center.
