The Rainmaker
by N. Richard Nash
September 26-29 |
During a paralyzing drought in the West, Lizzie Curry is facing a more personal problem of living the rest of her life alone. Her father and brothers try to help, but there is no sign of relief for the dry heat or Lizzie’s loneliness. Suddenly from out of nowhere, a fast-talking character charms the family into believing he can really bring rain. Whether he can or not, his silly claim is so refreshing that he restores hope to the struggling family and helps them realize a happier life.

The Musical of Musicals (the Musical)
by Eric Rockwell and Joanne Bogart
November 14-17 |
The hit of the 2003-2004 off-Broadway season, The Musical of Musicals is really one story made into five hilarious satiric musicals, each written in the distinctive style of a different master of the form. June, an ingénue who can’t pay her rent, is threatened by her evil landlord, but will she be saved by her handsome leading man in time? This basic plot is musicalized as it might have been done by Rodgers and Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim, Jerry Herman, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Kander and Ebb. It’s “a real treat for the musical theatre buff but a fun time in the theatre for everyone!”
Tickets for this production are $8:00 for adults, $6.00 for students and senior citizens
