The creative team that produced Playhouse blockbusters Pirates of Penzance, Big River, and Suds, reunites to present the Tony-Award winning tale of the legendary showman Phineas Taylor Barnum.

The hilarious, madcap Hollywood comedy
about the making of Gone with the Wind.
July 1 - 12, 2008

By Ron Hutchinson
Directed by Kenneth Kimmins

It’s 1939 and Hollywood is abuzz. Legendary producer David O. Selznick has shut down production of his new epic, Gone with the Wind to rewrite the screenplay. This funny and fascinating behind-the-scenes farce comes to vivid life as three icons of the film industry struggle over what becomes one of greatest movies ever made.  

An enchanting new romantic comedy set

On a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter, all is not quite what it seems in the remote town of Almost, Maine. As the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.

Enjoy a feel-good evening of musical theater when you meet the good folks at the Double Cupp Diner and Pump Station. Performed by six actors who play all the musical instruments, this Broadway hit is a crowd-pleasin’, toe-tappin’, knee-slappin’ mixture of country, rock and western-swing that’s hotter than a fresh batch of buttermilk biscuits.
