Don't Dress for Dinner

A Delicious Comedy by MARC CAMOLETTI
Adapted by ROBIN HAWDON

February 26 - March 21, 2010

Bernard is planning a weekend with his chic Parisian mistress in a French farmhouse. He has arranged for a cordon bleu cook to prepare gourmet delights, is packing his wife Jacqueline off to her mother's, and has even invited his best friend Robert to provide the alibi. It's foolproof; what could possibly go wrong? Suppose Robert turns up not knowing why he has been invited? Suppose Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers? What happens if the cook is mistaken for the mistress and the mistress for the cook, but the mistress can't cook? An evening of hilarious confusion ensues as Bernard and Robert improvise at breakneck speed. Leave the kids at home; this one is for the grown-ups.

I Love a Piano


Music and Lyrics by IRVING BERLIN
Conceived by RAY RODERICK &
MICHAEL BERKELEY

June 18 - July 11, 2010

When Jerome Kern was asked where Irving Berlin ranked in American music he said "Irving Berlin has no place in American music. He is American music." I Love a Piano is a new musical that looks at America through the perceptive and hopeful eyes of Irving Berlin. With over 60 great songs, this all-singing, all-dancing review follows the journey of a piano from Tin Pan Alley to the present as it winds its way though the lives of Americans. A swingin' Dixieland band accompanies the cast as they sing their way through such Irving Berlin classics as Blue Skies, Puttin' on the Ritz, God Bless America, I Love a Piano, A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody, Steppin' Out With My Baby, Easter Parade, There's No Business Like Show Business, and so many more!

Cancino, presents a program of vocal favorites from across the ages and around the world.



 

September 3 - September 26, 2010

Two English actors, Jack and Leo, find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing Scenes from Shakespeare on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Amish country of Pennsylvania. When they hear that an old lady in York, PA, is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash. The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren't nephews, but nieces!

Romantic entanglements abound, especially when Leo falls head-over-petticoats in love with the old lady's vivacious niece, Meg, who's engaged to the local minister. Meg knows that there's a wide world out there, but it's not until she meets "Maxine and Stephanie" (AKA Jack and Leo) that she finally gets a taste of it. (Parental guidance suggested; small amount of strong language and some sexual content)


 


Music by JASON HOLLAND
Lyrics by MINDI DICKSTEIN
Book by ALLAN KNEE

November 12 - December 5, 2010

Based on Louisa May Alcott's heartwarming novel, Little Women follows the adventures of Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy March as they grow up in Civil War America. The story of the March sisters is timeless and deals with issues as relevant today as when they were written. Now, Little Women has been transformed into a musical treasure for the whole family.
