Based on cartoon characters and a popular 1960’s ABC TV series, the season opens Oct. 6th with The Addams Family. The show that made famous the memorable characters of Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester, Wednesday and Lurch are featured in an original musical comedy.  The ultimate Princess of Darkness, Wednesday Addams has fallen in love with a young man from a respectable family- a man the parents have never met.  And to make things worse, Gomez, her father, has to do something he has never done before-keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything changes the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents. The show has catchy tunes and is full of fun for the whole family.

What would happen if a 21st century Alice collided with Lewis Carroll’s legendary Wonderland?  This modern retelling of the classic children’s story has all of the characters you know and love, including the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit and the Queen of Hearts.  The story is laid out in traditional style, except that Alice is distinctly contemporary, complete with cell phone in hand.  Full of references to text messaging and social media, the play imagines a present-day Alice encountering the Wonderland so many of us treasure.

SHOW DATES
FEBRUARY 23 - FEBRUARY 28, 2017

The February show was written by one of Broadway’s most successful comic playwrights, Neil Simon.  He has written such Broadway smash hits  as Barefoot in the Park, Plaza Suite, The Sunshine Boys and Come Blow Your Horn to name a few.  Two of his most eccentric character creations were named Oscar and Felix.  This 1965 Tony Award winning play, The Odd Couple is a story about fussy Felix Unger who becomes suicidal over his impending divorce. When he accepts an offer to move in with his best friend, messy Oscar Madison, Felix drives Oscar crazy with his obsession over his soon-to-be ex-wife. Oscar tries to get him out of his depression by arranging a double date with two whacky British neighbors. When the plan backfires and Felix grows even more despondent, his friend ship with Oscar is put to the test. The play ran for over two years on Broadway and is considered Simon’s crowning achievement.

SHOW DATES
MAY 4 - MAY 9, 2017

The Season closes with a story of three unlikely friends that take control of their office and learn that there is nothing they can’t do, even in a man’s world.  9-5, the Musical is based on the Dolly Parton’s sentimental 1980 hit movie. Set in the 1970’s, this hilarious story of friendship and revenge is thought provoking and a little romantic. Three females concoct a plan to get rid of their egotistical, lying and bigoted boss. They literally boot their boss and take over the control of the company that always kept them down. It’s a high energy show that has toe-tapping music and uses a large cast of singers and dancers.
