Join us for the premiere production

of a new series, produced by La Mirada Theatre and McCoyRigby Entertainment. A new intimate theatre experience has been created by placing 199 audience seats on the stage. The stage will be filled with an incredible award-winning musical production AND the audience. With a large cast and live musicians, feel the true-story adventure of Floyd Collins's dreams of fame and fortune as he is trapped in a narrow cave 200 feet below the surface. See how his goal of creating a tourist attraction becomes a

reality, with him as the main attraction.

With music and lyrics by Tony Award winner Adam Guettel (The Light in the Piazza) and book and lyrics by innovative theatre artist Tina Landau, this haunting musical, which won a Lucille Lortel Award, a Drama Desk Award, and an Obie Award when it premiered in New York, tells the transcendent tale of a true American dreamer.

Seating is VERY limited. Be a part of La Mirada history. Get up close and personal with the new ONSTAGE series at La Mirada Theatre!
