Show Description

We're opening our 101st season in the latter part of September with our Volunteer's Choice. Each year, our most dedicated volunteers are given the opportunity to select one of the season's shows, and this year they selected the 2009 Broadway musical comedy, 9 to 5. Based on the 1980 film of the same name, and featuring music by the legendary Dolly Parton, this show tells the story of a humdrum office building that ends up being anything but. Three female employees unite in their hatred of the sexist & lecherous boss of Consolidated Industries, and the audience gets to watch how those women show him who's really the boss.

Show Description

Our second musical of the season will open in November, and comes to us from the minds of composer Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Godspell) and playwright Joseph Stein (Fiddler on the Roof). At times sweet, at times heartbreaking, The Baker's Wife - somewhat offbeat and somewhat romantic - takes us to 1935 small-town France, where the village has recently lost its baker. The bickering residents find some peace when the new baker and his wife arrive, but when trouble once again finds the town, they must work together to help the baker and his wife find happiness again.

January bring us our first non-musical of the season, the 1941 Joseph Kesselring classic, Arsenic and Old Lace. Always an audience favorite, this show tells the story of the recently-engaged Mortimer Brewster, who visits his sweet spinster aunts to announce his engagement. However, Mortimer's world is turned topsy-turvy when he uncovers his aunts' morbid pastime - and he's caught up in helping his aunts, protecting his fiancée, and managing the rest of his family's quirks.

Show Description

We are very excited to close our season with the return of an audience favorite, Young Frankenstein. This 2007 madcap musical comedy based on the 1974 movie brings Mel Brooks' unforgettable characters back to life. Frederick Frankenstein wants nothing to do with the Frankenstein Legacy to which he is the heir. Upon his grandfather's death, though, he travels to the castle to collect his inheritance and is quickly sucked into the family business. Will Frederick repeat the mistakes of his grandfather or succeed in making his monster a dapper, intelligent man about town?
