THE ELIXIR OF LOVE

2025-2026 In-School Tour

In the dusty town of Lonesome Gulch, the swaggering Sergeant Corey looms over timid Jimmy Reno as they vie for Miss Addy’s attention, while the sly Dr. Dulcamara rolls in, peddling her so-called magic elixir – nothing but a bottle of root beer!

Sixteen of your students will take the stage as the Justice of the Peace, the Soldier, and the lively townsfolk.

With playful melodies and laugh-out-loud comedy, The Elixir of Love whisks students away to America’s Old West, packed with timeless music, mischievous fun, and lessons on growing up and forgiveness.
