The Shape of Things
Directed by Tate Heywood
July 19 at 7:00 pm
July 20 at 3:00 pm
Tickets: Adults $17, Students/Seniors $15
How far would you go for love? For art? What concessions would you make? What price would you be willing to pay? Such are the painful questions explored by Neil LaBute in The Shape of Things, modern day retelling and deconstruction of George Bernard Shaw’s famous play, Pygmalion (the play upon which the musical My Fair Lady was based).
After a chance meeting in a museum, Evelyn—an assertive and confidently sensual artist—and Adam—a shy and insecure student—become embroiled in an intense affair. Before long, it veers into the kind of dangerous, seductive territory that LaBute does best, as Adam, under Evelyn's steady influence, goes to unimaginable lengths to improve his appearance and character. Only in the final and shocking exhibition, which challenges our most deeply entrenched ideas about art and love, does Evelyn reveal her true intentions.

Romeo and Juliet
August 8th and 9th at 7pm
Tickets: $15
The famous tale of star-crossed lovers, brought to life by the talented young thespians of the Majestic Theatre’s yearly Shakespeare summer camp!
Romeo and Juliet meet at a party and instantly fall for each other—Romeo, because he loves being in love, and Juliet, because she needs something for herself outside of her controlling family. Aided by Juliet’s beloved nurse and the jovial Friar Lawrence, the couple marries in secret to predictably disastrous results. Is it a tragedy? Yes, technically. But contrary to popular belief, Romeo and Juliet is the funniest tragedy in Shakespeare’s canon! So prepare to enjoy a nice romantic comedy (until everyone starts dying, of course).
Please note that this production will feature choreographed sword fights with stage blood. Youth swords have been provided by our generous Majestic Gala donors.

Naughty but Nerdy Presents
The Teacher Show

It makes sense that some of our best local comedians are also teachers -the profession definitely requires an ironclad sense of humor. Grab a hall pass and head to this stand-up showcase, which will focus on classroom dynamics relayed by real-life educators and funny folks Todd Basil, Tina Hogstrom, Naomi Fitter & Katie Nguyen. Created and hosted by Don Gavitte, the show has been described as a “solution for teacher burnout” by NPR. Expect strong content, so leave the kids at home and make it an "adult" field trip.

| | Corvallis Comedy Night with Dustin Nickerson
Sunday, October 26th at 5pm and 7:30pm.
Tickets: $25
There’s an image of the stand-up comedian as a drunken, drugged-out curmudgeon with no family ties, constantly on the road. And then there’s Dustin Nickerson. Married to his high school sweetheart, with three kids and his elderly father back at home, he has totally different reasons to constantly be on the road. Well that, and he’s quickly becoming one of America’s most in-demand stand-ups who won’t embarrass you in front of your mom. Following in the footsteps of such dad joke legends as Jim Gaffigan, Nate Bargatze and Brian Regan, Dustin writes hilarious jokes about marriage and family that (shock!) the whole family can enjoy. He’s been on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, The Late Late Show with James Corden and After Midnight with Taylor Tomlinson. And we can’t wait to be with him, for two big shows this October right here in Corvallis!
Rated: PG-13

The plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history, thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive "Springtime for Hitler"), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends.

Corvallis Comedy Night with Gary Vider
Friday, December 12 at 7:30 pm
Majestic Theatre- Starker Auditorium
Tickets: $20
With a loving wife and two adorable kids in suburban New Jersey, Gary Vider is the consummate family man. Not that he’s thrilled about it. Gary’s hilariously deadpan jokes about the pitfalls of marriage and children have earned him TV spots on Conan and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and even took him all the way to the final round of America’s Got Talent back in the day. Since then he’s become a regular at New York’s world famous Comedy Cellar, toured the country with Nate Bargatze and Sam Morril, and was named a Comic to Watch by Esquire magazine. Gary Vider is one of the best joke writers in the game right now and we are super excited to welcome him to Corvallis!

R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) is a delightful science fiction play written in 1920 by the Czech playwright Karel Čapek. The play, which introduced the concept of robots to the world, is set in a dystopian future where machines serve humanity. But what else might they do? "R.U.R." remains a thought-provoking exploration of automation, unfree labor, the ethical and societal implications of artificial intelligence. The play is also a treatise on political and social others, hierarchy, and the dangers of authoritarianism.
