Strange Times in Sacred Oaks
by Shane O'Mealey
Directed by Shane O'Mealey
Sept. 27-30 & Oct. 4-7, 2007

World Premiere Production!

Melvin Stone is a bumbling reporter in the small town of Sacred Oaks, where nothing exciting ever happens. With the Gazette in financial trouble, a boss at the end of his rope, and the girl of his dreams who doesn’t notice him; Melvin has his share of problems. So when the newspaper’s only benefactor takes his own life, Melvin seizes his chance and creates a tale about a masked killer on the loose. Now the whole town is in an uproar and Melvin’s world is turned upside-down as he tries to grapple with sudden fame, suspicious townsfolk, unexpected visitors, and a lie blown so out of control that it threatens to become...the truth.

Don't miss this world premiere production written and directed by Shane O'Mealey, T&G's current President!

The Octette Bridge Club
by P.J. Barry
Directed by John Thomas
Nov 29-Dec 2 & Dec 6-9, 2007

There are eight wonderful roles for women in this sentimental comedy about American life in a bygone era. On alternate Friday evenings, eight sisters meet to play bridge and gossip. The first act takes place in 1934; the second ten years later during a Halloween bridge party where each acts out her costume's persona. The emotionally distraught youngest, who does a hilarious Salome belly dance, has just gotten out of a sanitarium and knows that she must cut the bonds to her smothering family and strike out on her own. Produced at the Actors Theatre of Louisville Humana Festival of New American Plays and in New York, this is a charming play for community theaters with actresses clamoring for good roles.

"A delightful, funny, moving glimpse of the sort of lives we are all familiar with our own." N.Y. Daily News.

Arsenic and Old Lace
by Joseph Kesselring
Directed by Paul Weber
Feb 7-10 & 14-17, 2008
 

The famous comedy success produced a smash hit in New York and on the road. We meet the charming and innocent ladies who populate their cellar with the remains of socially and religiously "acceptable" roomers; the antics of their brother who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt; and the activities of the other brother—these require no further description or amplification here.  A true comedy classic.

The Battle of Shallowford
by Ed Simpson
Directed by Jan Carlson
April 10-13 & 17-20, 2008

On a quiet Sunday night in October of 1938 the regulars are gathered at Burton Mock's general store in Shallowford, NC. The rest of the world is on the brink of war, but these folks are only interested in local gossip until they turn on the radio and learn that the Martians have invaded! They fall hook, line and sinker for the Orson Welles broadcast and run out to do battle.

Always... Patsy Cline
Written and originally directed by Ted Swindley
Based on a true story
Directed by Joyce Cox
June18-22 & 25-29, 2008

“Always…Patsy Cline” is more than a tribute to the legendary country singer who died tragically at age 30 in a plane crash in 1963.  The show is based on a true story about Cline’s friendship with a fan from Houston named Louise Seger, who befriended the star in a Texas honky-tonk in l961, and continued a correspondence with Cline until her death. 

The musical play, complete with down home country humor, true emotion and even some audience participation, includes many of Patsy' unforgettable hits such as Crazy, I Fall to Pieces, Sweet Dreams and Walking After Midnight…27 songs in all.  The show’s title was inspired by Cline's letters to Seger, which were consistently signed "Love ALWAYS... Patsy Cline."
