Surflight Theatre has announced its 2022 season, and its main stage lineup follows a pattern long set by producing artistic director Steve Steiner: a mixture of sure-fire hit musicals and other shows that may have many theatergoers, and especially the general public, scratching their heads, wondering “where did he find that one?”

Steiner always thinks of two things when he constructs a season. One, understandably, is making enough money to pay the bills and hopefully have a little left over after that, thus leading to runs of perennial favorites.
