Announcing Our
2008 - 2009 Season

October 17 - 25

A mystery thriller with enough twists to keep the audience guessing
until the very end. When Daniel Corban's wife goes missing, he
naturally calls in the police. But opens the door to a woman who
claims to be his missing wife. How can he convince the police that
his wife is missing when everyone acquainted with her agrees that
this woman is indeed Elizabeth Corban?

December 6 - 21

Our annual Christmas "classic" is full of family Christmas magic! Mischievous elves, wonderful music and fun for everyone.
How can Santa make all of his stops with so
many good boys and girls? Maybe he just needs
a little help for all of us.

January 2 - 10

Felix Unger's wife has just given him the boot, and since his suicide attempts were a flop, he finds refuge in the sloppy apartment of his long time friend Oscar Madison, a recently divorced man himself. Together with their friends Murray the Cop, Speed, Roy and Vinnie, they all try to cope with the trials of marriage and divorce by playing poker, drinking beer, and complaining to each other. Living with the slovenly, dumpy Oscar is no picnic and living with Felix is like living with a permanent maid! To escape the hum-drum life of two newly separated bachelors, Oscar introduces Felix to the "Pigeon" sisters, Gwendolyn and Cecily. What should have been a cozy evening for four turns into a pity party with enough tears to fill a highball glass! As tempers rise, Oscar kicks Felix out and ironically sends him into the coddling arms of the Pigeon Sisters.

February 21 - March 8

 

How many is too many?? That depends on your point of view. Hey! Who let that Bassett in? Come join the fun and the

their way into your hearts. You might even adopt one!

Remember when actors became American Presidents? When Bubble skirts and blue eye shadow were cool? When Atari was cutting edge technology ? From the era that brought the world The Rubik's Cube, Max Headroom and The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comes this "totally awesome" musical in the style of movies such as Back To The Future, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Karate Kid and The Wedding Singer.

Songs Include * Footloose * Girls Just Want To Have Fun * Wake Me Up Before You Go Go * Material Girl * Kids In America * Love Shack * Total Eclipse Of The Heart * Video Killed The Radio Star * Let’s Hear It For The Boy * Time Of My Life * Mickey * You Give Love A Bad Name and Lots Lots More

Set in the USA, Back To The 80's tells the story of the senior class of William Ocean High School that graduated in the 1980's, as remembered and seen through the eyes of Corey Palmer, who is now 30-something.
