Shows & Musicals for Every Season<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

The\u202fTheatre of Youth\u2019s<\/a> plays for young people unfold at a restored movie house in the historic Allentown neighborhood. See productions rooted in African American traditions at the Ujima Theatre Company<\/a>. In the summertime, join the crowd bringing picnics to sit on the lawn and take in the Bard\u2019s comedies and tragedies at a Shakespeare in Delaware Park<\/a> performance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From Contemporary to the Classics<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

West of the city, the Lancaster Opera House<\/a> continues a tradition of live entertainment that began in 1897. The Kavinoky Theatre\u2019s<\/a> restored 1903-recital hall on the D\u2019Youville University campus is an elegant, vintage setting. Baroque grandeur suits the Broadway shows at Shea\u2019s Performing Arts Center<\/a>, a gilded former movie palace on Main Street. For a more intimate production, consider its neighbor on the block, the Irish Classical Theatre Company<\/a>. Performances suit any proclivity \u2013 from murder mystery comedy to a Stephen King movie-turned-play, a Jane Austen interpretation, golden-era shows like Guys and Dolls and the cutting edge. Let us entertain you.<\/p>\n
