Cast, program, and schedule are subject to change.

In this best-known of all operettas, the womanizing Gabriel von Eisenstein becomes the victim of an elaborate practical joke by his friend Dr. Falke. Performed in a witty English translation, this new production features an all-star cast including Wichita favorite Michael Nansel, who recently made his debut as Don Giovanni in Washington, D.C., and starred in three WGO productions last season.
