Everybody’s Favorite Mothers is a celebration of unconditional love and unlikely activism started in the summer of 1972 when Jeanne Manford marched in a parade with her gay son. She carried a home-made sign boldly declaring her support – and a new kind of movement was born. Jeanne and her husband Jules went on to co-found a support group for parents, an organization that would eventually become known around the world as PFLAG.
EVERYBODY’S FAVORITE MOTHERS is produced by special arrangment with James Still and Michael Moore Agency
Guys and Dolls
July 10th, 11th, & 12th
Set in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City, Guys and Dolls is an oddball romantic musical comedy. Gambler, Nathan Detroit, who runs an illegal floating craps game, makes a bet with Sky Masterson that he can take Sarah Brown, a missionary to Havana. Meanwhile, Nathan’s long-suffering fiancée, nightclub singer Adelaide, wants him to finally marry her, leading to a chaotic mix of romance, high-stakes bets, and comedic situations. Hit songs include “Luck Be a Lady”, “Sit Down You’re Rocking the Boat”, “I’ve Never Been in Love Before”, and more.
GUYS AND DOLLS is presented through special arrangements with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www,mtishows.com
Callout to all Swifties! We’re getting into the “end of an era but the start of an age” here at Dixon Stage Left. Our 2026 Season represents our reopening in a new theatre space at 105 S. Peoria in Dixon, a spacious, historic building in downtown Dixon. Although we’ve completed extensive renovations, it still needs more love and care. To offset these costs, we’re excited to shake it up for our next fundraiser and give a lucky Swiftie a reason to “Shake It Off”! From now until July 12th, tickets are on sale to win an electric guitar — signed by the one and only Taylor Swift! Not a Swiftie but know someone who is? “Speak Now” because this is your chance to gift something absolutely “Enchanted”.

NEW THEATRE RENOVATIONS
In early 2024, Dixon Stage Left moved out of its old second-floor space on 1st Street to move all of its operations to a new first-floor location right around the corner on South Peoria.
PRODUCTIONS SPONSORS
Once we’re able to complete enough renovations to reopen, we look forward to starting regular season production again. Each Season and production within that season typically has a sponsor who helps us pay for rights, equipment, professionals, materials, and more.
