Season 47’s fifth show is the romantic and enchanted ''Brigadoon,'' a 1947 Lerner and Loewe musical.

The story follows two modern-day Americans who stumble upon Brigadoon while hunting grouse in the Scottish Highlands, only to find that the mist-encircled town is not on the map. Moreover, the townspeople seem to be stuck in a world that is two centuries behind the times. That's because for only one day every 100 years, the town emerges from the mists of a miraculous slumber.

The Americans, Tommy Albright and Jeff Douglas, although welcome by Brigadoon residents, are perplexed at what they see, until they find out that there is much more to the history of Brigadoon. When romance, a Brigadoon wedding and a troubled young lad come into play, the plot only thickens. Tommy falls in love with beautiful Fiona, then learns that the village materializes from the mists of time every 100 years for a single day. Fiona cannot leave with him or the village is doomed to disappear forever.

Don't miss "Brigadoon" at PM&L...or you may have to wait for what seems like 100 years for it to reappear ;-) See box office and ticket information at left.
