A Musical: Madame Bovary has music and lyrics by Paul Dick. The musical, according to press notes, "brings to life Flaubert's characters as they transition from youthful romanticism to mature reality except for Emma Bovary. This is the story of her passion."

Performances are Thursday-Saturday at 8 PM, Saturday and Sunday at 3 PM and May 20 and 27 at 8 PM.
