"Falling In Like"
Written and Directed by Jerry Sipp
Weekends, June 4-13
The star is out, the intern is in as understudy, then leading lady and in the meantime, there could be a romance, but sometimes the best you can hope for is to fall in like. “The dialogue fairly crackles with wit and theatrical in-jokes. The show’s a must see for theatre people and a delight for the rest of us.” Raleigh News and Observer
(Not appropriate for very young audiences.)
"Chicago"
Music by John Kander • Lyrics by Fred Ebb • Book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse
Directed by Steven Lloyd • Music Direction by Chuck Taft • Choreography by Cord Scott
Weekends, July 9 - August 1
In the Roaring Twenties, no place roared like Chicago. Join us as Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly vie for stardom in this tale of fame, fortune, murder and all that jazz. This full scale Broadway blockbuster is filled with hit numbers, hot jazz, sizzling dance numbers and its own steam heat.
(Not appropriate for very young audiences.)
"Catfish Moon"
By Laddy Sartin
Directed by Allison Stinson
Weekends, August 27 - September 7
The old fishing pier out on the end of Cypress Lake has just fallen under the magic of another Catfish Moon. It was the favorite hangout for three best friends when they were kids — skipping school, skinny dipping and even experiencing the mysteries of kissing girls. Now, for adulthood. “… full of the most bodacious joviality … the ending is pure delight, comic writing as sweet as it comes.” Charlotte Observer
"Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story"
Music & Lyrics by Buddy Holly • Book by Alan Janes
Directed by Steven Lloyd • Music Direction by Kristen Dominquez
Weekends, September 24 - October 17
The music of an era comes back with all the excitement that made a generation “Rock Around the Clock.” Featuring the music of Richie Valens, the Big Bopper and others who shared the stage with the legendary Buddy Holly, this hit musical will take you back to a time when pop music made you dance in the aisles.
"The Little Foxes"
By Lillian Hellman
Directed by Wanda Taylor
Weekends, November 5-14
In the midst of some families are little foxes, scheming and vying for the prize and feeding off the misfortunes of others. Regina is one of the most skilled and ruthless. When she and her two brothers scheme mercilessly to make a fortune on a new cotton mill, Regina will let nothing stand in her way — not even her husband’s life or her daughter’s love.
