2010-2011 SEASON SHOWS

One of the most captivating musicals of our time and a show that won 4 Tony Awards, Bye Bye Birdie is a satire done with the fondest affection.  It tells the story of Conrad Birdie, a rock and roll singer who is about to be inducted into the army.   Just before his induction, his agent’s faithful secretary, concocts one final national publicity plan.  Birdie will bid a typical American teen-age girl goodbye with an all-American kiss given on the Ed Sullivan Show.  A beautiful young girl from Sweet Apple, Ohio wins the honor and Birdie’s arrival in town causes people of all ages to swoon.   Bye Bye Birdie is the tops in imagination and frivolity and gives insight into the everyday life of the 50’s that is very much a part of us all.  This is a fun and enjoyable show with great music and the audience will recognize songs such as “A Lot of Livin’ to Do” and “Put on a Happy Face”.   The show opens October 14, 2010 with additional performances October 15, 16, 22, 23, and 24.

This mystery takes place at “The Cresswell Arms,” an old coach house in a remote English village where many years before, a kidnapping (and perhaps murder) had taken place in the town.  Inspector Frost failed to solve the crime and now, 12 years later he has returned to try again.  He finds that he has become a very unwelcome guest and encounters suspicion and hostility as it becomes increasingly clear that the townspeople want to leave the past shrouded in mystery.  But Frost presses on, with results that are both startling and disquieting, and which leads to a surprise ending in which justice is indeed served after all.  The show opens January 20, 2011 with additional performances January 21, 22, 28, 29, and 30. 

In this comedy a man  loved his wife so much, he almost told her.  It’s Thanksgiving Day and the first family gathering since the Patriarch died.  Dad comes back as a ghost with a mission; to tell his wife he loved her, something he neglected to tell her while he was alive.  After all, they were only married for 41 years.  The problem is, she can’t hear or see him.  The trouble begins when Mom invites a date for dinner.  A Nice Family Gathering is a hilarious and touching comedy which shows a good heart is behind all this family silliness!  Very “Minnesotan”, National Public Radio says “Garrison Keillor meets Topper by way of Fargo” in this show which opens April 7, 2011 with additional performances April 8, 9, 15, 16, and 17.
