SYNOPSIS:
Mimi Ralston, a wealthy divorcee (many times over), hosts a dinner party in honor of the conservative and all too stodgy parents of her daughter's fiancé.  Being a bit of a "loose cannon" herself, she hires a stunt waiter to insult her guests and possibly even spill a little soup on the stuffed-shirt future in-laws, the Calthorpes. Meanwhile, Edie, her daughter, fearing her mother will never tolerate these future in-laws, hires two actors to impersonate the Calthorpes, and all goes as planned until the real Calthorpes arrive with their son. Thereafter, the mistaken identities (and the fun) proliferate, until all is in a state of hilarious confusion.  Things are eventually set straight, as is Edie, who learns some lessons in love and life which spare her from what could have been a most unhappy fate.

CAST REQUIREMENTS: 6 Males, 6 Females

SYNOPSIS:
PRIVATE LIVES
is the story of two bickering ex-spouses who fall in love with each other again even though they are now on their honeymoon with a new husband and a new wife in tow.  This Noel Coward classic has been an audience favorite since its premiere in London, where Coward and soul mate Gertrude Lawrence played the leads and a very young Laurence Olivier played the priggish supporting role of Victor.

CAST REQUIREMENTS: 2 Males, 3 Females

SYNOPSIS:

Based on the Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist, this musical follows the life of abuse a young orphan endures as he lives in a workhouse, only to be sold into indentured servitude to an undertaker for daring to ask for more food.  The new living arrangement  proves to be no better and he is locked in a cellar for fighting. After escaping the cellar, Oliver falls in with a gang of pick-pockets and thieves until he is apprehended for a crime he did not commit.  As a way of compensating for this wrongful accusation, the wealthy victim of the pick-pockets offers to take Oliver in.

The thieves now fear Oliver will identify them to the authorities, so they hatch a plan to kidnap him and they succeed.  The action that follows leads to an exciting finale as the curtain comes down.  This show promises to be amazing with lots of action and many familiar and noteworthy songs.  Make plans to audition for this wonderful musical, or help out on a crew backstage, or even enjoy it as a member of our audience.

CAST REQUIREMENTS: A cast of many, all ages.
