* Cyrano de Bergerac -- a romantic tale set in 17th century France, featuring swashbuckling sword play, rapier-sharp wit and passionate poetry!

* You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown -- a joyful and inventive musical, based on beloved characters from Charles M. Schulz's popular "Peanuts" comic strip!

* Anything Goes -- a fast-paced, jazz-age musical comedy, bursting with quintessential Cole Porter tunes and hilarious hijinks on the high seas!

Bring your family and friends, and enjoy the unique theatrical experience of "Poetry, Peanuts & Porter" at Missouri State University's summer Tent Theatre!

Tent Theatre has signed an U/RTA (University/Resident Theatre) contract with Actor's Equity for Tent this summer. Tent is the first Equity Theatre Company in Southwest Missouri and we are very proud of this accomplishment and the opportunity it holds for many years of great summer theatre in the Ozarks.

For the first time in the 46 year history of Tent, we will be performing as an Equity Company. This means that there will be six Equity actors in, and an Equity Stage Manager for our three shows. The contract will also enable our acting and musical theatre students to earn EMC (Equity Membership Candidacy) points toward their Actor's Equity membership. This will help them move up the audition chain when they graduate, as all professional companies audition equity actors first, then those who have EMC points. This summer we will be presenting three plays: Cyrano de Bergerac, You're a Good Man Charlie Brown, and Anything Goes.
