New Harmony Theatre is announcing a change to its 2010 season. The musical revue "Ain′t Misbehavin′" will run July 30 to August 15, replacing the previously announced "Finian′s Rainbow." The summer season′s other titles include "The School for Scandal," a comedy by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, and "The Glass Menagerie," a drama by Tennessee Williams. Lenny Leibowitz, New Harmony Theatre′s artistic director, will stage all three.

Amy Estes, New Harmony Theatre′s managing director, said, "In evaluating our resources and maximizing available personnel, we decided to postpone the production of –˜Finian′s Rainbow′ for an upcoming season." According to Estes, audiences will love "Ain′t Misbehavin′," a musical revue that embodies the comic and musical soul of Harlem in the 1930s. It features the rollicking, swinging, finger-snapping music of Fats Waller, who rose to international fame during the Golden Age of the Cotton Club.

Leibowitz said, "′Ain′t Misbehavin′′ evokes the humor and infectious energy of this American original as a versatile cast struts, strums, and sings the songs Fats Waller made famous, from the title song to "Honeysuckle Rose" to "Tain′t Nobody′s Biz-Ness If I Do.′"

"The School for Scandal," "The Glass Menagerie," and "Ain′t Misbehavin′" will play at Murphy Auditorium at 419 Tavern Street in New Harmony. Both season and single tickets are on sale now. For more information or to purchase tickets, contact the box office at 812/682-3115 or toll free at 1-877-NHT-SHOW (648-7469), or visit the theatre′s web site at www.newharmony theatre.com.
