Dirty Rotten Scoundrels   Book by Jeffrey Lane t Music & Lyrics by David Yazbek

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is a lively comedy that follows two con artists as they take on the lifestyles of the rich and shameless. Laurence is a cultivated and suave gentleman who cons rich ladies out of their money. The other, a small-time crook named Freddy, more humbly swindles women by telling fabricated stories about his sick grandmother. The glamorous Riviera isn’t big enough for the rival con-artists so they agree that the first to swindle a young woman out of $50,000 wins the lucrative territory. Let the battle (and plot twists) begin! This smash Broadway hit is based on the very funny movie Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Moonlight and Magnolias By Ron Hutchinson

1939 Hollywood is abuzz. Legendary producer David O. Selznick has halted the filming of Gone with the Wind. The screen play, you see, just doesn’t work. While fending off the film’s stars, gossip columnists and his own father-in-law, Selznick sends for famed screenwriter Ben Hecht and yanks director Victor Fleming from the set of The Wizard of Oz. In this seriously hilarious comedy, Selznick locks his office doors, closes the shades, and on a diet of bananas and peanuts, the three men labor to create what will be one of the most successful and beloved films of all time. (May not be appropriate for preteens)

Peter Pan                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Music by Mark Charlap t  Lyrics by Carolyn Leigh  t  Additional music by Jule Styne  t Additional lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green  t Additional incidental music by Trude Rittman and Elmer Bernstein

Come fly with us! Let BST whisk you away to the magical world of Never-Never Land. Peter Pan remains an enduring favorite for many reasons-perhaps most of all for its ability to turn back time and transform adults into kids who laugh, cry and when the time comes, clap like crazy to save poor Tinkerbell. A must see musical filled with pirates, Indians, lost boys and a crocodile.

Greater Tuna  By Jason Williams, Joe Sears and Ed Howard

Come join the citizens of Tuna, Texas’s third smallest town where the Lions Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies. What do Arles Struvie, Thurston Wheelis. Aunt Pearl, Petey Fisk, Phineas Blye and Rev. Spikes have in common? They are among the upstanding citizens of Tuna, Texas, in this hilarious satire of small town life. The electic band of citizens that make up this town are portrayed by only two performers, making satire of life in rural America even more delightful as they depict all the inhabitants of Tuna--men, women, children and animals.

Hotel Paridiso By George Feydeau

Monsieur Boniface is an architect in Paris in the early 1900’s. He hatches a plan to escape his domineering wife and have an affair with his neighbor’s wife at the Hotel Paradiso. Unbeknownst to them, her husband has been assigned to make an official inspection at the Paradiso (after all there are reports of ghosts). Chaos ensues when one wife, two husbands, a nephew, the perky maid and a father with his four daughters arrive at the hotel and the fun really begins. If you enjoyed A Flea in Her Ear last season, you’ll love this.

Colorful characters like the unforgettable redneck trailer trash trio of Betty, Lin, and Pickles are at the heart of this side splitting musical melodrama. You might not want to take up permanent residence with the folks of Armadillo Acres, but they’re a delightfully crazy group of people to spend a couple of hours with.
