Captain Louie on the PGT Mainstage

Captain Louie

Take to the skies in Stephen Schwartz's charming tale of fresh starts.

Louie has just moved to a new town and is nervous about making new friends. Alone in his room, he takes flight in his imagination, back to his old neighborhood, where he spends Halloween with his colorful crew of chums. While making new discoveries, having fun, and, of course, trick-or-treating, the gang discovers that making new friends is nothing to fear.

Bring the whole neighborhood to get a load of Captain Louie at PGT.

Lucky Stiff on the PGT Mainstage

Lucky Stiff

Murder mayhem that will leave you dying of laughter!

Lucky Stiff is a high speed, high stakes musical jackpot filled with zany hijinx and high strung characters on a quest of a lifetime. This madcap, hilarious romp of a musical follows Harry Witherspoon's journey from England to Monte Carlo... with a rather unusual traveling companion. Enjoy this hilarious murder mystery farce, complete with mistaken identities, six million bucks in diamonds, and a lot of dogs.

From the creators who brought you Seussical, Ragtime, Once on This Island, and Anastasia, Ahrens and Flaherty's Lucky Stiff is an all time favorite of PGT staff, actors, and audiences alike!

Something funny's going on at PGT... Don’t miss PGT’s production of Lucky Stiff!

The Prom on the PGT Mainstage

The Prom

This Spring at PGT... Give it some ZAZZ!

Four fading Broadway stars are in desperate need of a new stage. So when they hear that trouble is brewing around a small-town Indiana prom — and the press is involved — they know that it’s time to put a spotlight on the issue... and themselves. The town's parents want to keep the dance on the straight and narrow — but when one student just wants to bring her girlfriend to prom, the entire town has a date with destiny. Now, Broadway’s brassiest are coming to join the fight and they are ready to kick-ball-change the world.

It’s time to dance at PGT's production of The Prom.
