| March 2007 - Steel Magnolias |  |
by Robert Harling Directed By Michael C. Nelson Performances: March 16-17 & 23-24 at 8pm Sunday Matinees March 18 and 25 at 2pm The action is set in Truvy's beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are "anybody" come to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle (who is not sure whether or not she is still married), the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town's rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, ("I'm not crazy, I've just been in a bad mood for forty years"); an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M'Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town), is about to marry a "good ole boy." Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play moves toward tragedy when, in the second act, the spunky Shelby (who is a diabetic) risks pregnancy and forfeits her life. The sudden realization of their mortality affects the others, but also draws on the underlying strength—and love—which give the play, and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad. |

by Ronald Dahl Directed By Todd Isaacs Performances: May 11-12 and 18-19 at 8pm Sunday Matinee May 13 and 20 at 2pm James, a curious young orphan forced to live with his two cruel aunts, is taken on a fantastic journey when he discovers a magic peach.

| July 2007 - Altar Egos: The I Do's and Don'ts of an American Wedding |
by Pat Cook Directed By Larry Smith Performances: July 13-14 & 20-21 at 8pm Sunday Matinees July 15 & 22 at 2pm “All we want is a simple wedding”, agrees Mark and Colleen as they get engaged. And their simple wedding stays simple…for about two minutes. Then the families get involved. There’s the McMasters, who think the Frobishers are a bunch of snooty dude and the Frobishers picture the McMasters as a crowd of hillbillies. The bride’s father keeps offering the soon-to-be-wed couple thousands of dollars to elope, “No questions asked!” The bride’s mother decides to call in her sister, who s a sweet, lovely woman…until she becomes The Coordinator - a drill sergeant! The groom needs a best man so he enlists his Uncle Josh, who’s an old Hippie. The bride’s kid sister can’t wait for the wedding, either, since she gets the bride’s old room…if she can talk Dad out of it, who wants it for a den…if he can talk Mom out of it, who wants it for a quilting room. The two mothers are literally dueling over the rehearsal dinner seating chart while the bride and groom wonder where it all went wrong. Throw into this mix football referees, tailors, circus ringmasters, caterers and even an Interpreter and you get just SOME of the ALTAR EGOS. |
