Grease

Grease brings back the teen-age life style of the 1950's The boys wear short hair swept back into elaborate greasy coifs called the D.A. or ducktail. They sport motorcycle jackets, pegged pants, turned up shirt collars and T-shirts with cigarette packs secured in rolled up sleeves. The girls wear beehive hairdos complete with hair clips. They chew gum and wear boys' windbreakers with their names sewn on. They pierce their ears, wear pedal pushers, spongy white bobby socks, cinch belts, long felt skirts and crinolines.

Great Balls Of Fire

The story of Jerry Lee Lewis, arguably the greatest and certainly one of the wildest musicians of the 1950s. His arrogance, remarkable talent, and unconventional lifestyle often brought him into conflict with others in the industry, and even earned him the scorn and condemnation of the public.

Great Expectations

Great Expectations
Great Expectations

Here's a literary classic, adapted into a musical! The orphaned Pip is being raised by Mrs. Joe, his bitter sister. Besides having to endure the burdened Mrs. Joe's anger, Pip also has a frightful run-in with an escaped convict, whom he eventually helps. Fortunately, Pip has two supportive friends: Biddy, a kind, encouraging girl, and Joe, his sister's husband. But then Mrs. Joe sends Pip to live with the wealthy, yet bitter, Miss Havisham. After tolerating life with her for six years, Pip's life takes another twist when he receives money, presumably from Miss Havisham, to go to London. But Miss Havisham introduces Pip to the cruel Estella, who tries to hurt Pip. This will supposedly help Miss Havisham feel vindication for her own rejections in life. Dramatic twists as only Dickens can create will leave your audiences mesmerized. The story's filled with glorious musical numbers: "Always Count On Me," "Will I Find My Way?" and "Great Expectations." Loaded with Dickens' style and emotion, this show is guaranteed to touch any audience.

Grind, The

GRIND takes place in Chicago in 1933, a time when the stages of America's vaudeville houses were a cornucopia of comedy, song, and dance spiced with bumps and grinds. Backstage, however, the jokes come up flat against the brick wall of black-and-white, separate-but-equal burlesque life. GRIND is about spectacle, extravaganza, phenomenon, pagentry, human emotions, human conflicts, and ultimately, about the triumph of the human spirit. It tells the powerful story of the performers who slave at a theater to bring light and laughter to a bleak, Depression-weary city.

Groovy!

Groovy!
Groovy!

You know you can't go wrong with a retrospective play by Kelly and Francoeur! In Groovy! you'll celebrate the hippies and flower children of the 1960s. Travis, Muriel and Alice decide to throw a free Music, Beads and Flowers Celebration. A popular singing group, the Lemon Bugs, love the idea and donate their talent. In no time, crazily-painted busses start arriving at Crumb's Apple Farm, the site of the festival. Everything is going nicely until Mrs. Porter, who hates "The Love Generation," shows up and demands that the local police close it down. If this wasn't bad enough, two music promoters offer the Lemon Bugs a deal they can't refuse if they will skip the celebration. Your audiences will love the wildly funny characters like California Cowabunga, who can surf on dry land, Hippie Girl With Flute, who thinks she's the Pied Piper of Hamelin, and a London fashion designer who plans to release a line of Flower Power clothing. Although the hippies might wear buttons that say "Never Trust Anyone Over Thirty," their hearts are in the right place and the celebration triumphs. Great '60s style songs include: "Anything is Possible," "Lemon Bugs in a Lemon Air-o-plane," "Brothers and Sisters" and naturally, "Groovy!" It's fact! It's funky! And it's groovy, all right. In fact, it's the best celebration in town.
