Are We There Yet?Are We There Yet?
by James Hindman, Ray Roderick, & Cheryl Stern; Music by John Glaudini
October 1 - October 18

A Musical Revue about Family

Are We There Yet? is a laugh-out-loud, heart-touching musical romp -- a look at the roller coaster that is a family life. From trips in the car, to the folks moving to Florida, from little league baseball and dance recitals to prom night and dating the second time around. It’s the family version of I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.

For Better
by Eric Coble
November 5 - November 22

A Comedy about Love in the Age of Twitter

For Better is a romantic comedy for the digital age. In our wireless world of twitter, email, text-messaging and camera phones, do a bride and groom really need to be in the same country to get married? Karen and Max want to get married -- if their jobs will ever let them be in the same city at the same time. Overlapping calls, three-party conferencing, simultaneous instant messages and emails create moments of sublime confusion. Six characters cross-talking never sounded so funny and made so much sense. A genuine farce for the 21st century.

Guys on Ice
Book & Lyrics by Fred Alley, Music by James Kaplan
December 3 - December 27

An Ice Fishing Musical Comedy

Where does one go to discover the deeper meaning of life's many mysteries? A monastery? The mountains of Tibet? How about an ice fishing shanty in Northern Wisconsin? In Guys on Ice, buddies Marvin and Lloyd spend a winter’s day in a shanty out on the ice, telling bad jokes, and singing about life, love and Leinenkugel beer. It’s a great little burs t of off-the-wall musical comedy energy with the emphasis on laughs.

Nobody Don’t Like Yogi
by Thomas Lysaght
January 7 - January 24

An Evening with the Man who said: "I didn't really say everything I said."

This one-person show celebrates the hall of famer’s humor, loyalty, and wisdom as he reflects on his baseball career and the great players that have worn pinstripes over the years. Berra’s malapropisms (‘Yogi-isms’) have become legendary. Nobody Don’t Like Yogi weaves together a portrait of a player, father, a friend, and an unlikely philosopher.

Last Train to Nibroc
By Arlene Hutton
February 11 – 28

A Romance.

In December 1940, on an east-bound train, May shares her seat with a young flyer, Raleigh. May plans to be a missionary.

I Love a Piano
Book by Ray Roderick and Michael Berkeley, Music by Irving Berlin
March 18 - April 11

An Irving Berlin Musical

I Love a Piano is a celebration of the music and lyrics of Irving Berlin. It follows a single piano from the turn of the century to the present. Along the way, over sixty of Irving Berlin's most beloved songs, including classics such as "Blue Skies," "There's No Business Like Show Business," "Puttin' on the Ritz," "Cheek to Cheek," "Anything You Can Do," "God Bless America," and, of course, "I Love a Piano" help bring the lives of the piano’s owners to vibrant life. Alternately heartbreaking and hilarious, rousing and reflective, I Love a Piano is a tribute to the man Jerome Kern famously said had "no place in American music - he is American music."

Crimes of the Heart
By Beth Henley
April 29 - May 16

A Southern Family Comedy

The Magrath sisters have come home. Lenny, the oldest sister, is unmarried and facing diminishing marital prospects; Meg, the middle sister, is back after a failed singing career on the West Coast; while Babe, the youngest, is out on bail after having shot her husband in the stomach. Their troubles are highlighted by their cousin, Chick, and by the awkward young lawyer who tries to keep Babe out of jail. A true, touching and consistently hilarious play.
