"A Little Bit of Everything"
Quilters

QUILTERS combines music, dance, and scenes of dramatic intensity in a tribute to the courage and the spirit of our nation’s pioneer women. Critics have called QUILTERS a show “pieced together with love and stitched with pride.” It is “a human patchwork rippling with joy, laughter, and some tears.” The original Broadway production earned six Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical, Best Book and Best Score.

Hide and Shriek
October 19-20, 25-28, 2007
In this mystery farce by Tim Kelly, June Hungerfor is being hounded by Edwina Hyde, a dangerous young woman who is convinced June has stolen the man she loves.

June agrees to impersonate Daisy Belle. Eventually, Daisy Belle comes home and Edwina shows up. The over-the-top action, chills and thrills, and hysterically funny dialogue never stop!

Lucky Stiff
June 6-7, 12-15, 2008
Based on the 1983 novel "The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo" by Michael Butterworth, this musical is the first collaboration for the musical theater team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. It tells the story of Harry Witherspoon, a British man, who gets an inheritance from a recently-deceased rich uncle from New Jersey. The inheritance comes with a catch – to claim it, Harry must first take his uncle's dead body on a weeklong vacation to Monte Carlo. Harry and the body travel to Monte Carlo, where Harry gets entangled with, among others, a woman from a dog shelter that stands to collect the money if Harry does not precisely meet the terms of the will.
