2010-11 SEASON

This charming romantic comedy is set at the run down lakeside cabins at Paradise Glen, where Wally, an ad exec, stops in to use the phone.  Instantly smitten by the owner’s daughter, he begins a campaign to put the place back on its feet by advertising romance in a big way to hilarious results.  His plan proves disastrous, as before long, the cabins are full of women showing up to meet the men of their dreams and get married, but there are no men anywhere in sight.  Adding to the madcap fun are a sailor with too many girls, a hired man who isn’t really a hired man, a jealous, hot-tempered fiancée, a scatter-brained mother, hobos in need of a handout, and two librarians who take up Hula dancing! The farcical confusion works itself out cleverly, providing a romantic ending sure to please all audiences.

This 1976 Pulitzer Prize winning musical is set on the bare stage of a Broadway theatre during an intense dance call for a new show where the audience gets a behind the scenes look at what goes on during the audition process.  A coming of age story, the characters ultimately share the events that have shaped their lives and led them to pursue their passions and dreams on the Broadway stage. In its original run of 6,137 performances, “A Chorus Line” was the longest running production in Broadway history and was nominated  for 12 Tony Awards, winning 9 of them including Best Musical, Best Direction, Best Book, and Best Score.  “A Chorus Line” also boasts some of the most memorable Broadway songs of all time, such as “What I Did For Love” and “One.”

This fast-paced, exciting mystery thriller takes place during the rehearsals of a new play, as the director, writer, and cast members arrive to begin the first read-through.  But when Hazel Laverne, the leading actress, sets foot in the theatre, it soon becomes apparent that she is detested by everyone involved, and when she winds up dead, it is anybody’s guess who could have committed the murder.  Mitzi, the plucky young niece of the theatre owner, embarks on a mission to solve the crime along with the local Sheriff, and the two of them concoct an ingenious trap for the murderer, placing Mitzi’s life in jeopardy.  Audiences will enjoy trying to figure out who the murderer is before all is revealed, and the edge of your seat tension and multiple surprises will keep all ages thrilled from curtain to curtain!
