Swoon with "Sabrina Fair" at The Master's University
A delightful romantic comedy set in 1950s Long Island, "Sabrina Fair" ushers you into the luxurious life of the Larrabees - a family accustomed to leisure, power and influence. All is calm and as it should be until Sabrina Fairchild, the chauffeur's daughter, arrives home from Paris. She returns to the apartment above the garage a refined woman, but unsure of one thing. Could a French suitor have a chance to win her heart? Or is she still in love with charismatic and charming David Larrabee? While many would doubt the suitability of their relationship, what would David's older brother Linus think? In fact, is Linus himself immune to Sabrina's charm, excitement and love of life? Can the Larabee family survive Sabrina's reappearance in their lives? Or - maybe - they will wonder how they ever survived without her? "Sabrina Fair" is a beautiful story that sparkles with wit and humor, love and family.

Look Up with "Bright Star" at College of the Canyons
This is Steve Martin's (Yes, that Steve Martin!) powerful story of love and redemption set in the American South in the 1920s and the 1940s. "Bright Star" follows the story of young writer Billy, just home from war, trying to sell a story to a powerful editor, Alice, and the story of Alice's life 20 years ago as she faced life's adversities. As Alice unwinds the mysteries from her own past, she confronts the secrets that hold her family and community together and keeps them apart. The music ranges from, "heartache-perfumed ballads and yearning love duets to energetic hootenannies," says Charles Isherwood of New York Times.
Playing at College of the Canyons Theatre April 26 to May 5, tickets start at $6.
