THE KING AND I Music by Richard Rogers Book and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II Based on “Ana and The King of Siam” by Margaret Landon Original choreography by Jerome Robbins Mrs. Anna Leonowens, a widow from Wales arrives in Bangkok in the 1860’s with her young son to teach English to the children of the royal household of Mongkut, the King of Siam. The King desires very much to absorb western knowledge, but is sometimes conflicted over how to reconcile western ways with his own. His efforts to do this, unadmitted even by himself, are further hindered by his minister, who wishes to keep Western influence out of the court. Meanwhile, Anna develops an affection for King Mongkut, as he does for her. The combination of royalty and romance in an exotic land of many years past, with its stunning costumes and memorable melodies create a spectacular palette of sight and sound. This well loved musical opened on Broadway in 1951 and was the fourth hit out of five collaborations for the team of Rogers and Hammerstein. It ran for 1,246 performances, winning the Tony Award for Best Musical, among other awards. Director Marty Williams will hold auditions January 2 & 3, 2008. Productions dates are February 28-29, March 1-2, 6-9, & 13-16, 2008 |

THE SENATOR WORE PANTYHOSE by Billy Van Zandt and Jane Millmore Written by the same authors that formerly brought “Lie, Cheat and Genuflect” and “Love, Sex, and the IRS” to the Playmaker stage,” this zany farcical presidential campaign is certain to keep you laughing all evening. Seething with political and religious scandals, this comedy revolves around the failing presidential campaign of Senator “Honest” Gabby Sandalson, a regular guy whose integrity has all but crippled his bid for the White House.

Productions dates are May 8-11 & 15-18, 2008 |  |
| ON GOLDEN POND
by Ernest Thompson This is the love story of Ethel and Norman Thayer, who are returning to their summer home on Gold Pond for the 44th year. He is a retired professor, nearing eighty, with heart palpitations and a failing memory – but still as tart-tongued, observant and eager for life as ever. Ethel, ten years younger, and the perfect foil for Norman, delights in all the small things which they have enriched, and continue to enrich their long life together. They are visited by their divorced, middle-aged daughter and her dentist fiancé, who then go off to Europe, leaving his teenage son behind for the summer. The boy quickly becomes the “grandchild” the elderly couple longed for, and as Norman revels in taking the ward fishing and thrusting god books at him, he also learns some lessons about modern teenage awareness - and slang. Director Nadine Jensen will hold auditions May 20 & 21, 2008. Productions dates are July 10-13 & 17-20, 2008 |  |
