Announcing: The Stranahan 2017-2018 Season
Stranahan Theatre

On March 2nd, 2017 The Stranahan Theater in Toledo, Ohio has finally announced it's 2017-2018 season! With the 2016-2017 being so incredible featuring The Phantom of the Opera, Pippin, Chicago, and Kinky Boots, we in the Toledo area excitedly awaited to see what the Stranahan had in store for us this time.

Here it is, the Stranahan's 2017-2018 Season!

1. A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder: November 9th-12th, 2017

Tony Award winner for Best Musical in 2014, as well as winner of three other Tony's and nominated for nine, A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder is, in the words of the website of their tour, "slaying" it's way to Toledo. When Monty Navarro finds out that he is actually a member of the aristocratic D'Ysquith family, he begins a plot to rid the family of the eight people ahead of him in line to become an earl. Full of murder, plotting, and a bit of romance, Gentleman's Guide is not for the faint of heart (which they warn you about in the first number) but it is for the theatre goer that likes 2 cubes of morbid in their tea!

2. Beautiful: The Carole King Musical: February 6th-11th, 2018

A jukebox musical, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical follows the early life and career of singer/songwriter, Carole King, using her songs as well as songs written by several other contemporary artists including Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. Winning two Tony's and A Grammy (Best Leading Actress in a Musical and Best Sound Design, and Best Musical Album for the Grammy) Beautiful will absolutely blow you away!

3. Cinderella: March 8th-11th, 2018

You've seen Cinderella before, but not quite like this! Featuring seven new characters (including a sympathetic stepsister) and several new songs, this is Cinderella like you've never seen it before! Nominated for nine Tony's and Winning Best Costume Design, this revival of an old Rogers and Hammerstein favorite will sweep you off to a new fairytale, and you just might find yourself liking a stepsister or two this time around.


4. Wicked: June 6th-17th, 2018

That's right, ladies and gentlemen, Wicked: The Untold Story of the Wicked Witch of the West is flying back to Toledo and landing in the Stranahan again! Nominated for nine Tony's and a Grammy and winner of three Tony's and a Grammy, Wicked finally gives us the side of the story that was never told. Wicked follows the story of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and the friendship we never new of between her and Glinda the Good. Full of beautiful music, stunning sets, and jaw-dropping costumes, Wicked certainly will make you rethink being so afraid of that green face you saw in the movies.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
