The story of LITTLE WOMEN, Louisa M. Alcott's famous novel, is well known and loved.  It is a story that never will grow old because it deals with a mother's love for her children and their appreciation.  Who can forget tom boy Jo and her sacrificing her glorious hair to help finance her mother's trip to Washington, when the telegram arrived saying her father was dying?  Or the budding romance between Meg & Mr. Brooke? And the interweaving lives of the March girls, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy and Laurie, the boy next door, as they grow up happily together? The play delivers its message of hope and cheer in a way that cannot help but send us from the theater with a higher opinion of humankind than we had when we entered.

I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change -- May 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27 ~ 2012 

I LOVE YOU, YOU’RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE is off-Broadway’s longest running musical celebrating the mating game and exploring the joys of dating, romance, marriage, husbands, wives and in-laws.  It delivers a hilarious, bittersweet and refreshingly honest look at love and relationships.  The witty script and lyrics get down to the real meat of relationships glorifying such awkward, intimate and painful moments as bad first dates, meeting the parents, and being dragged to a dreaded "chick flick."  This musical revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, to those who have dared to ask, "Say, what are you doing  Saturday night?"
Audition Dates: March 3, 2012 - Casting for 8 Adults:  4 Women, 4 Men   Ages 20-60.  For Auditions please be prepared to sing one happy or funny song –bring own CD for accompaniment.
Director: Felicia Sykes

Of Mice and Men -- March 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, 25, 30, 31, April 1 ~ 2012

The 2012 Optional Favorite OF MICE AND MEN tells the story of two drifters, George and his friend Lennie.  They have just arrived at a ranch to work for enough money to buy their own place.  Lennie is a man-child, a little boy in the body of a dangerously powerful man.  George’s promise to allow Lennie to "tend to the rabbits" on their future land keeps Lennie calm, amidst distractions, as the overgrown child needs constant reassurance. But when a ranch boss' promiscuous wife is found dead in the barn, it's obvious that Lennie killed her. George is faced with a moral question: how should he deal with Lennie before the ranchers find him and take matters into their own hands.
