Kelsey Theatre – In The Pink! – 2012-2013

This year Kelsey Theatre celebrates its Ruby Pink 40^th Anniversary with a salute to the ladies. We’re tickled pink to bring you a season full of strong, masterful, determined, feisty women (and a few grouchy old men).  From the loving mother spider in Charlotte’s Web to Gypsy’s Mama Rose, from tiny Thumbelina to the adventurous Maria in The Sound of Music, and from a very smart talking dog in Martha Speaks to the forceful Annie Sullivan in The Miracle Worker each of these women will amaze and inspire. And smack dab in the middle of our season – Reock & Roll’s Music from Big Pink.  So pink it is!  As Elle Woods from Legally Blonde would say – “You can’t have too much pink!”.  And of course, according to Mama Rose from Gypsy “Everything’s Coming Up Roses!”  pink ones of course.
