A Dinner Show benefiting the HBAPA Theatre Department
In 2013, APA produced its first-ever Summer Dinner Theatre production, Black Comedy, by Peter Shaffer. Ten years later this hilarious farce is back and better than ever. Black Comedy depicts a sculptor and his fiancee, who have “borrowed” expensive furniture from the next-door neighbor’s flat to impress an art collector. Suddenly the power goes out, the neighbor returns early, unexpected guests arrive with mistaken identities, and matters spiral into hysterical chaos.

A musical benefiting the APA Musical Theatre Department, produced by the APA Musical Theatre Guild
A Chorus Line is a 1975 musical with music by Marvin Hamlisch, lyrics by Edward Kleban, and a book by James Kirkwood Jr. and Nicholas Dante.
A Chorus Line stunningly captures a glimpse into the lives of performers auditioning for a Broadway musical. This brilliantly complex fusion of dance, song, and authentic drama tells of the bittersweet ambitions of professional, itinerant performers trying to land a job in the show, and it is a powerful metaphor for all human aspiration.
