TOP GUN: MAVERICK
CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS MAY 27- JUNE 7 (2 weeks) Fri. & Sat. 7:30 pm Sunday 3:00 pm Tuesday 6:30 pm (not 7:30) After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. When he finds himself training a detachment of Top Gun graduates for a specialized mission the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen, Maverick encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), call sign: “Rooster,” the son of Maverick’s late friend and Radar Intercept Officer Lt. Nick Bradshaw, aka “Goose”. Facing an uncertain future and confronting the ghosts of his past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his own deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it.

Rodgers and Hammerstein's THE SOUND OF MUSIC Scheduled NOVEMBER 10- DECEMBER 3, 2022 The now-classic story of the Trapp Family Singers. The play is about a young Austrian postulant in Salzburg, Austria, in 1938 who is sent to the villa of a retired naval officer and widower to be governess to his seven children. After bringing love and music into the lives of the family, she marries the officer and, together with the children, finds a way to survive the Nazi invasion of their homeland. Liberty Theater produced this musical in 2005 and is delighted to offer it again. 13 shows planned for Nov 10- Dec 3, 2022 Please get vaccinated if not already. The COVID surge interfered with our ability to put on this show in the Fall of 20 & 21, and Spring 22. We will continue monitoring COVID-19 activity as we approach Fall 2022. |
