The Spartanburg Repertory Company is proud to announce plans for its upcoming season of performing arts made affordable for the whole family.

Spartanburg Repertory Company was founded in 1987, by Sharon Rouse Fridy. Over the years the company has produced two or three shows per year in an effort to bring opera, operetta and musical theater to the Spartanburg community in an affordable, family-friendly way. Artistic Director John Roche recently announced the line-up for the 2013-14 season.

The fall production will be a staging of Benjamin Britten’s Noye’s Fludde, a musical setting of the beloved Biblical tale of Noah and his ark. The show will be directed by international singer/director Dr. Stafford Turner and will feature local school children as the parade of animals.  It is set to run Oct. 18-20, 2013 at Broom High School’s District 3 Community Auditorium.

The spring production will bring Gilbert & Sullivan’s comedy Iolanthe to life. Ever wonder what happens when the fairy world gets involved in human politics? Come watch and find out! The show will run March 28-30, 2014 at Broome High School’s District 3 Community Auditorium.
