SHOULD BE THIS FABULOUS MUSICAL ADVENTURE!!

Pump Boys & Dinettes - June 19-29

Conceived and written by
JOHN FOLEY and MARK HARDWICK
DEBRA MONK and CASS MORGAN
JOHN SCHIMMEL and JIM WANN

This high-octane musical follows the lives and loves of these unlikely friends and relishes their boundless enthusiasm for life.

On Highway 57, somewhere between Frog Level and Smyrna, stands a gas station. Across the blacktop is a roadside eatery called the Double Cupp Diner. The four guys at the station, Jim, Jackson, Eddie and L.M., have been known to do some auto repairs, but only when aided by quantities of time and beer. The Cupp sisters, Prudie and Rhetta, celebrate their home cooking with the same zeal they bring to being neighborly with the boys. This is their musical tribute to life by the roadside!

A Rock 'n Roll - Country & Blues Musical Revue. The sort of show that feeds off the energy and pleasure of its audience, celebrating life and love in a small, southern town. lt doesn't take tong, once the show begins, to find yourself laughing along with these characters and their boundless enthusiasm for life.

Meredith Wilson's
Music Man - July 10-20

Book, Music and Lyrics by: Meredith Wilson
Story By: Meredith Wilson

The story of that man and his 76 trombones, and the wonderful, wonderful tune he played on every heart in town!

Confidence man Harold Hill arrives at staid River City intending to cheat the community with his standard scam of offering to equip and train a boy's marching band, then skip town with the money since he has no music skill anyway. Things go awry when he falls for a librarian he tries to divert from exposing him while he inadvertently enriches the town with a love of music.

Altar Boyz - July 31 - Aug. 10

Book By: Kevin Del Aguila
Music and Lyrics By: Gary Adler & Michael Patrick Walker
Conceived By Marc Kessler & Ken Davenport

Hailed as “a true original" by Broadway.com, Altar Boyz tells the holy inspiring story of 5 small-town boys—Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham—trying to save the world one screaming fan at a time. Their pious pop act, including lyrics like “Girl You Make Me Wanna Wait” and “Jesus Called Me On My Cell Phone,” worked wonders on the Ohio bingo-hall-and-pancake breakfast circuit. But when fate brings them to New York, will the boyz take a bite out of the forbidden apple?

With angelic voices, sinfully spectacular dancing and a touching story, Altar Boyz is destined to rock the masses of all denominations!

Altar Boyz is a laugh-out-loud spoof adored by fans and critics alike!
