Fall Play

Name of Play: The Rehearsal by Don Zolidis

Play Summary: A young teacher tries to pull off a production of Guys and Dolls, but
putting a musical together is never easy, especially with a megalomaniacal stage
manager, a lead who's convinced that Wicked is a much better show, and a girl
who is clinically incapable of following directions (she has a doctor's note to prove
it). And to make matters worse, there aren't nearly enough guys to be the Guys. A
hilarious and poignant look behind the scenes of a drama club production filled
with -- what else? -- lots of drama.

Spring Musical

Name of Musical: Once Upon a Mattress Jr

Musical Summary: If you thought you knew the story of 'The Princess and The Pea,'
you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know, for instance, that Princess
Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that it
may not have been the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night?
Carried on a wave of beguiling songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and
melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and
comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are, you'll
never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.
