WILLY WONKA - TYA
By Richard R. George
Based on the book by Roald Dahl
Directed by Sheri Dunlap
For the first time in a decade, Willy Wonka, the reclusive and eccentric chocolate maker, is opening his doors to the public Ð well, five lucky members of the public who find a Golden Ticket in their Wonka chocolate bars to be exact. For young Charlie Bucket, this is a dream come true. And, when he finds a dollar bill in the street, he can't help but buy two Wonka's WhippleÐScrumptious Fudgemallow Delights. As Charlie unwraps the second chocolate bar, he sees the glimmer of gold just under the wrapper! The very next day, Charlie, along with his unworthy fellow winners Mike Teavee, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, and Augustus Gloop, steps through the factory gates to discover whether or not the rumors surrounding the Chocolate Factory and its mysterious owner are true. What they find is that the gossip can't compare to the extraordinary truth, and for Charlie, life will never be the same again.
Musical ticket prices apply.
Cost: $15.00 for adults, $13.00 for seniors, $8.00 for students and children.

First Baptist of Ivy Gap, a dramedy
Written by: Ron Osborne
Directed by: Jimmy O. Burdette
During WWII, six women gather at the church to roll bandages for the Red Cross and plan the church's 75th anniversary. There's Edith, the pastor's wise-cracking wife; Luby, whose son is fighting in the Pacific; Mae Ellen, the church's rebellious organist; Olene, who dreams of a career in Hollywood; Sammy, a shy newcomer with a secret; and Vera, an influential Baptist with a secret of her own. In Act 2, twenty-five years later, these women reunite again at the church with revelations that shake relationships formed over a quarter of a century. With humor and pathos, these six very different women find comfort, forgiveness and redemption in each other. ÒThis play will be compared to Steel Magnolias, but forget steel; these mountain magnolias are pure gold with humor, drama, warmth and six of the most wonderful characters you'll ever seeÓ says the Bristol Herald-Courier.
Meet the Cast: Paula Doolittle as Edith, Crystal ÒCrysÓ Hatches as Sammy, Ann Gaylor as Vera, Peggy Collins as Luby, Megan Peterson as Olene, and Jenny Walters as Mae Elle

Shoestring Players Perform "Urinetown"
Urinetown, one of the most uproariously funny musicals in recent years, is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides he's had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny.

Kismet - Musical
Book by: Charles Lederer and Luther Davis
Lyrics by: George Forrest and Robert Wright
Music by: Alexander Borodin, George Forrest and Robert Wright
Neither Aladdin nor Ali Baba ever had a day like this! In the span of twenty-four hours, Hajj the beggar escapes the clutches of a vengeful bandit, drowns the evil Wazir of Police, catches the eye of the Wazir's voluptuous wife, serves as Emir of Baghdad, and sees his daughter wed to the handsome Caliph. This Arabian fantasy has proven a winner time and again, thanks to its exotic setting, appealing characters, and wry sense of humor, not to mention a lush musical score. Packed with mirth, mayhem, and romance, Kismet has enough adventure and delight to last at least 1001 Arabian nights! Directed by Jane Street.
