Schoolhouse Rock, Live!
By George Keating, Kyle Hall, and Scott Ferguson
Directed by Russell Greene
Musical Direction by Stephen Peters
Tom, a nervous school teacher about to start his first day of teaching, tries to relax by watching TV when various characters representing facets of his personality materialize from the set. These characters show him how to win his students over with imagination and music. Based on and incorporating the music from the "Schoolhouse Rock!" shorts broadcast on ABC television between 1973 and 1986, this show will have you singing along with fondly remembered tunes--from Conjunction Junction to I'm Just a Bill. Viewed with nostalgia by millions, "Schoolhouse Rock!" has become part of American popular culture. Come see it live!
Production Dates: September 18 - October 10, 2009.
Friday and Saturday performances begin at 8PM; all matinées are at 3PM.

Steel Magnolias
By Robert Harling
Directed by Michelle Fisher
Robert Harling’s award-winning play about the lives, loves and losses of six women from a tiny parish in Louisiana. The action is set in Truvy's beauty salon where all the ladies who are "anybody" come to have their hair done. Filled with hilarious repartée and not a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play draws on the women's underlying strength and love. The characters show that they are truly touching, funny, and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.
Production Dates: November 20 - December 12, 2009
Friday and Saturday performances begin at 8PM; Sunday November 29th matinée is at 3PM.

Boy Gets Girl
By Rebecca Gilman
Directed by Gordon Ellis
A disquieting chiller about a woman whose life of accomplishment is quickly destroyed by a disturbed admirer. After two blind dates with Tony, Theresa is convinced they have nothing in common and sees no point in continuing the relationship. Tony, though, thinks otherwise. What at first seems like persistence on his part grows into obsession, and Theresa's annoyance with Tony turns to terror as he begins to threaten her and those around her. A suspenseful tale about the unraveling of a strong woman's sense of security in the urban jungle.
Production Dates: February 19 - March 13, 2010
Friday and Saturday performances begin at 8PM; Sunday March 7th matinée is at 3PM.

Blackpool and Parrish
By David Belke
Directed by Dave Sheppard and Kristin Hughes
For five millennia, Harry Blackpool has been the agent for all Evil on Earth, while Rachel Parrish has represented Good. These implacable foes meet in a private club every twenty-five years. With the end of the world scheduled for tomorrow at teatime, they must pass their duties to their oblivious heirs: a mild mannered physical education teacher and an aggressively Bohemian artist. Caught in the middle of their cosmic gamesmanship is an anxious club manager. As the sole representative of humanity, he may be the key to Armageddon's outcome in this fast-paced comedy of apocalyptic proportions!
Production Dates: April 23 - May 15, 2010
Friday and Saturday performances begin at 8PM; Sunday May 2nd matinée is at 3PM.
