"Leona, a middle-aged secretary, spends her savings on a trip to Venice, hoping to find adventure and love. While staying with other Americans at a boutique Venetian hotel, she meets Renato, a charming shop owner. Instantly attracted to each other, Leona explains to Renato that she knows she'll hear a waltz when she falls in love. By the time she leaves for home, she has indeed heard a waltz, inspired by a surprising source." 5 years before his breakout hit ‘Company,’ Stephen Sondheim partnered as lyricist with Broadway king Richard Rodgers. For their single collaboration, they transformed Arthur Laurents' popular play ‘In the Time of the Cuckoo’ into the musical confection ‘Do I Hear a Waltz?’  Featuring a sympathetic heroine, the romance of Venice, and a cadre of colorful characters, Covey Theater is proud to bring this 1965 musical theater curiosity to CNY audiences for two concert performances!  

Sick of politics? So are we! Written by Covey artistic director Garrett August Heater, this diabolically funny new comedy skewers the hypocrisy of American politics. Cassidy Brown is an ambitious 25 year old running in a special election for Congress. Coached and cajoled by his dynastic political family, his meteoric rise to the top is matched only by a spectacular flameout for the ages. Featuring an all-star cast of local performers, you’ll never want to hear the word “Benghazi!” again!
