I don't believe there are any tours (even non-equity) planned right now. In what city and on what date will this performance be taking place?

MTI's website has two listings for XANADU being performed 'at various venues' in Florida, both licensed to the Slow Burn Theatre Company. 

Per this press release, http://www.fortlauderdaleconnex.com/music-arts/30112-acclaimed-slow-burn-theatre-company-announces-new-2016-17-season-at-the-broward-center-for-the-performing-arts.html

Slow Burn seems to be re-mounting its 2012 production.

Performances for the late February, early March run at the Brower Center in Fort Lauderdale are definitely available for purchase on Ticketmaster http://www.ticketmaster.com/venueartist/107373/2250794?brand=broward&camefrom=cfc_broward_web

This page for the performance you mention at the Thrasher Center is using the Slow Burn company's production photos, so it seems like they're performing for one night in early February.  http://thcenter.org/showpg_xanadu.html

So it's just a regional production you're seeing, not a national tour.

It looks like a good production. I'd definitely attend if I lived in Florida.  Hope this helps!

Thanks sbflyfan for the info.  I'm iffy on this.  I have never seen a regional production of a show.
