"We've had many requests from our patrons to bring in The Levon Helm Band," says John Faust, Stanley Theatre Manager. "We are very pleased that this will be our season opener as it sets the stage for the many diversified acts that follow."

Franc D'Ambrosio has been billed as the "longest running 'phantom' of the decade." He has performed that role in Andrew Lloyd Webber's smash over 3,000 times. Now he tours the country performing music from "Phantom" and many other Broadway musicals.
Now he brings us Franc D'Ambrosio's Broadway - The Phantom Returns Unmasked! He will perform at 4pm Sunday September 27. In addition to his signature interpretations of Phantom songs, he will also perform some of the greatest hits of Broadway. A special treat will be when he brings onstage the winners of our local CHRISTINE and RAOUL competition, who will sing with him some more music from The Phantom of the Opera.
There were twelve entrants for this competition, and the winners will be announced at a special Master Class led by Mr. D'Ambrosio 7pm Monday September 14 at the Stanley.
David Copperfield magically reappears on the Stanley stage for the first time in over 20 years at 5:30 and 8:30pm Thursday October 1. These performances fulfill a promise made to our patrons that when we have our new stage built, David Copperfield will appear on it!
David Copperfield is known for wonderful illusions large and small, and he will delight audiences with his special legerdemain.
