One
of the most captivating musical shows
of our time Bye Bye Birdie tells
the story of a rock and roll singer,
Conrad Birdie, who is about to be drafted
into the army. In one final publicity
tour, Birdie arrives in Sweet Apple,
Ohio causing people of all ages to swoon
all over him, and he pushes the quiet
little town into a spin. The show gives
insight into everyday life that is very
much a part of us all. It is a show
to be enjoyed by the cast as much as
the audience. An English Teacher,
What Did I Ever See in Him?, Put on
a Happy Face, One Boy, A Lot of Livin'
to Do, Kids, Rosie and Spanish
Rose are musical theatre classics.
Bye Bye Birdie is satire done
with the fondest affection and is tops
in imagination and good old fashioned
fun. 
With
a balanced look at the “joys”
of getting older, through a cast of
3 men and 3 women, Mid-Life! strikes
a chord with anyone regardless of age.
A series of scenes and sketches poke
fun at the frustrations of mammograms,
love handles, weekend warriors and prostate
exams. The cleverly crafted songs celebrate
forgetfulness, reading glasses and menopause,
but also touch on the sentimental wisdom
that our later years afford us. Mid-Life!
is a hilarious musical romp with an
honest humor about the trials and tribulations
of the unavoidable aging process. Welcome
to Mid-Life!
In
1892 Lizzie Borden of Fall River, Massachusetts
was accused of one of the worst crimes
in New England. She allegedly used a hatchet
to murder her father and step-mother in
broad daylight. This play, written by
the Little Theatre's own Karen Poulsen,
takes a fresh approach to the story behind
Lizzie and her family. In 1930, Lizzie’s
diary is discovered revealing an inside
look at the Borden household between 1865
and 1892. Tensions arise when her stepmother’s
family begins to profit from her father’s
money. Strange incidents occur, beginning
with a theft in broad daylight, suspicions
of poison, and threats against Lizzie’s
father. The suspense continues right up
to the very end when revealing information
is uncovered.
Faithful
to Dickens' beautiful language,
this adaptation of the beloved
Christmas classic tells the heartwarming
story of miserly Ebenezer Scrooge.
Mr. Scrooge is always cold-hearted,
and Christmas is no exception
-- that is, until the ghost of
his deceased business partner,
Jacob Marley, comes to warn him
about the consequences of living
a life of greed and materialism.
Over the next three nights, Scrooge
is visited by three other spirits
who try to convince him that his
selfishness will be his downfall.
Is this enough to make the selfish
old miser change his ways?
The
quintessential story of friendship and
trust, Steel Magnolias serves up
a southern view of life that’s as
warm and comforting as a slice of sweet
potato pie. In the world of a local home-grown
beauty salon, six very different women
come together to share their secrets,
fears and love for one another while engaging
the audience in hysterical and neighborly
gossip. From weddings to divorces, babies
to funerals, new beginnings to happy endings,
they share each moment in their lives
with grace, determination, and perfectly
coiffed hair. When tragedy strikes, it
is in the comfort of this salon where
they seek the solace and support that
carries them through.
Man
of La Mancha is the passionate and
poignant tale of a noble knight who lives
in a world of madness and cannot see that
chivalry has died. His holy quest is a
mission of salvation to find compassion
for others. Based on The Adventures
of Don Quixote, by Miguel de Cervantes
y Saavedra, Man of La Mancha is
a comic tragedy of mankind's struggle
to better the world in which he lives.
It is a musical based upon the book by
Dale Wasserman, lyrics by Joe Darion and
music by Mitch Leigh. At times both inspiring
and thought provoking, the story is entertaining
and moving, and will warm the hearts of
everyone whose spirits were ever raised
by the prospect of a victory by the underdog
against all the odds. The score is a musical
delight, and contains one of the most
moving moments in musical theatre as Don
Quixote relates his personal credo in
The Impossible Dream.

the Bride is a madcap comedy of a
