Celebrate the Depot Theatre’s 45th Season at “The Fantasticks”

The Depot Theatre’s final production of its 45th season is THE FANTASTICKS—the world’s longest-running Off-Broadway musical and one from the Depot Theatre’s very first season in 1979.

THE FANTASTICKS is a celebration of love, its enduring mysteries, its sweet simplicities, and all the foolish ways we tend to mess it up. One young couple is pitched into an odyssey of tomfoolery, debauchery, and misfortune by ruses of their parents’ designs, a band of clowns, and the ways of the world. The show boasts a cherished score of classic tunes, including “Try to Remember” and “Soon it’s Gonna Rain”

As the 45th season finale, the show represents both a nod to the theatre’s history and an approach to the classic story through a contemporary lens. In this retelling, a troupe of summer campers assumes the iconic roles of the lovers, the parents, the bandit, the mute, and the old actors.

Following the performance on August 24th, stick around for a moderated discussion with the cast and crew.
