Spring Show: Once Upon a Mattress

April 30-May 2, 2010

“Once Upon A Mattress” is a musical comedy version of the fairy tale “The Princess and the Pea.”  The story takes place in a medieval kingdom ruled by the devious and talkative Queen Aggravian and her mute husband, King Sextimus.  In an attempt to keep their son, Prince Dauntless the Drab, from marrying, the queen has decreed that Dauntless can only marry the princess that passes an impossible sensitivity test. Will it be Winnifred the Woebegone or is Prince Dauntless destined for a life of bachelorhood?  Songs include “Shy,” “Happily Ever After” and “Yesterday I Loved You.”

Fall Show: Fiddler on the Roof

November 5-7, 2010

Set in 1905, Fiddler on the Roof takes place in Anatevka, a small Jewish village in Russia. The story revolves around the dairyman Tevye and his attempts to preserve his family’s traditions in the face of a changing world. When his eldest daughter, Tzeitel, begs him to let her marry a poor tailor rather than the middle-aged butcher that he has already chosen for her, Tevye must choose between his own daughter’s happiness and those beloved traditions that keep the outside world at bay. Meanwhile, there are other forces at work in Anatevka, dangerous forces which threaten to destroy the very life he is trying to preserve.  This show is always an audience favorite and includes the memorable musical numbers “If I Were A Rich Man,” “Do You Love Me” and “Sunrise, Sunset.”
