The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
September 10-25, 2010

Six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a hilarious tale of overachievers' angst chronicling the experience of adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The show's Tony Award winning creative team has created the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time.

 

A Few Good Men
November 5-20, 2010

This Broadway hit about the trial of two Marines for complicity in the death of a fellow Marine at Guantanamo Bay sizzles on stage. The Navy lawyer, a callow young man more interested in softball games than the case, expects a plea bargain and a cover-up of what really happened. Prodded by a female member of his defense team, the lawyer eventually makes a valiant effort to defend his clients and, in so doing, puts the military mentality and the Marine code of honor on trial.

 

Sealed for Freshness: A Tupperware Party Gone Awry
January 14-29, 2011

Doug Stone has set his play in 1968 during the heyday of Tupperware parties. Hostess Bonnie invites a group of neighbors over for a party. The guest list: perky, rich Jean; Jean's cranky and very pregnant sister Sinclair; ditzy-blonde Tracy Ann; and new neighbor Diane, who's made quite a career selling Tupperware, but at the expense of her marriage. The mix of personalities and the number of martinis consumed lead to a great deal of absurd high jinks, plus revelations of an equal number of secrets and insecurities.

 

Victor/Victoria
March 18 - April 2, 2011

We know we're in Paris, but is this person a he or a she? A man or a woman? What confusion...what fun! Victor/Victoria is an appealing, sophisticated show, based on the movie about the career of the Paris entertainer Victoria Grant, who becomes a star female impersonator, only to fall in love-at-first-sight with macho gangster King Marchan. Musical numbers include "Le Jazz Hot," "You and Me," "Almost a Love Song," "Trust Me," "Living in the Shadows," "Paris by Night" and "Crazy World." Life's complications are both hilarious and touching.

 

Hairspray
May 20 - June 4, 2011

Hairspray delighted audiences by sweeping them away to 1960s Baltimore, where the '50s are out - and change is in the air.  Loveable plus-size heroine Tracy Turnblad has a passion for dancing and wins a spot on the local TV dance program, The Corny Collins Show. Overnight she finds herself transformed from outsider to teen celebrity. Can a larger-than-life adolescent manage to vanquish the program's reigning princess, integrate the television show, and find true love (singing and dancing all the while, of course!) without mussing her hair?
