St. Louis, MO – Insight Theatre proudly announces its 8th season. The 2015 season begins with one of the longest running musicals of all time, THE FANTASTICKS, which has a wonderful score that includes the classics, “TRY TO REMEMBER “ and “SOON ITS GOING TO RAIN.” Next up is the brilliant comedy MOON OVER BUFFALO by Ken Ludwig. In a story where everything that could go wrong does, this tribute to “Life in the Theatre” is simply outrageously hilarious. To end the season, the dramatic offering SPINNING INTO BUTTER explores racism in America today. Set on a Vermont campus, this story promises to spark lots of relevant conversation. Additionally, Insight’s interns will produce the full-length play with music, ALICE IN WONDERLAND adapted from the famous Lewis Carrol novel. The season begins July 2nd and ends September 13th.
