Written by Richard Winchester & Mark Sargent
November 28 - December 21, 2008
Only the best people see this show!
FIFTH AND FINAL YEAR!!!
Christmas with the Crawfords takes place on Christmas Eve, 1944. Joan has recently been fired from MGM, and is looking forward to the live radio broadcast from her Brentwood mansion, to be hosted by her friend Hedda Hopper, as a way of keeping herself in public eye as she vies for a role in a film noir piece entitled "Mildred Pierce" offered to her, somewhat reluctantly, by Warner Bros. Suffice it to say the broadcast does not go well. Joan is plagued by problems, including the never-ending arrival of uninvited celebrity guests who take over the spotlight to sing their favorite holiday song.
Compleat Female Stage Beauty
— by Jeffrey Hatcher
March 5 - 29, 2009
In 1661 the most famous portrayer of female roles on the London stage was a performer named "Kynaston." Like every other player permitted to enact such roles, Kynaston was a man. A celebrity artist shining bright at the crest of the Restoration, Ned or Mr. K, as he's called, is applauded onstage and off for his interpretations of Shakespeare's tragic ladies: Ophelia, Cleopatra, especially his Desdemona and his famous "death scene." He's the toast of the town and the very secret "mistress" of the powerful Duke of Buckingham. But when an unknown named Margaret Hughes plays Desdemona one night at an illegal theater, instead of stopping the show, the ever-game King Charles II changes the law to allow women to act. By the stroke of a pen, Kynaston's world is turned upside-down. He loses his cachet, his livelihood, his lover and his sense of self. And as such women as the king's own courtesan, Nell Gwynn, and Kynaston's former dresser, Maria, become stars, his own light disappears until fate and his desire for revenge give him a chance to take the stage again.

A delightful musical romp in which the only mystery the Hardy Boys can't seem to solve is that of their own sexual identity. Return with us to a time when things were simpler and society was oblivious to diversity. Call it spoof, parody or social commentary, but call it a fabulous evening of music and comedy that will leave you singing "we like you just the way you are."
