"Noises Off" (October 19-21, 26-28) - This uproarious comedy follows the on/off-stage antics of a fifth-rate acting troup as they ineptly stumble from a disastrous final dress rehearsal to a calamitous tour of the bedroom farce "Nothing On". Everything that can possibly go wrong does, as actors desperately try to hang on to their lines, their performances, their tempers, their sanity and the furniture! Add a slippery plate of sardines and a slew of slamming doors to the lunacy and you have perhaps "the funniest farce ever written" (NY Times) "Make We Merry" (November 30 & December 1) - This is our 24th annual Christmas variety how. Featuring a cast of over 100 area performers, this production is an evening of holiday entertainment for young and old alike. "M*A*S*H" (February 8-10, 15-17, 2008) - The play follows the story of two madcap surgeons (Hawkeye Pierce and Duke Forrest), newly assigned to the 4077 M*A*S*H unit in Korea, and their attempts to send a houseboy to college Stateside. Join Henry Blake, Radar, Hot Lips, Frank Burns, Father Mulcahy, Trapper John, Spearchucker, Painless, Ugly John, Walt, Sgt. Devine, the nursing staff, and the rest for an hilarious serving of medical mayhem tempered with a dollop of drama and a dash of romance! "The Robber Bridegroom" (April 25-27, May 2-4, 2008) - This musical play is a rousing, bawdy Southern fairy tale set in 18th century Mississippi, and based on the story of Eudora Welty. It relates the "rough wooing" of Rosamund, the only daughter of Clement Musgrove (the country's richest planter), by Jamie Lockhart, a rascally bandit-of-the-woods. Throw in mistaken identities, an evil, murderous stepmother, her pea-brained henchman and a hostile talking head-in-a-trunk, and you have the recipe for a rollicking romp "upon the Natchez Trace" with a toe-tapping country/bluegrass musical score! "Seussical Jr" - Apple Crate Kids (June 20, 21 & 22, 2008) - Based on the beloved children's books by "Dr. Seuss", Seussical Jr. brings the familiar illustrated stories to life onstage, featuring many favorite Seussican characters-the Cat in the Hat, Horton, Gertrude McFuzz, and others. This "junior" version of the Broadway play Seussical, while shorter for younger players, retains all the fun and charm of the original. |
