Mid-Life: The Crisis Musical
Book, Music & Lyrics by: Bob Walton & Jim Walton

July 3 – September 7, 2008

It’s the hottest new musical comedy around. From thinning hair to reading glasses, from hot flashes to mammograms, proctology exams and everything in between. Everyone will relate to these hilarious “age old” situations about the inevitabilities of middle age. If you bought some Gingko – Biloba, but can’t remember where you put it – then you’re ready for MID – LIFE!

VIAGARA FALLS
A comedy by Joao Machado & Michael Carazza

 

“A scale of 1 to 10, this show’s a 12!”
CAROL BURNETT

“Warm, sentimental, sexy, and good, clean fun…the laughs come fast and furious and fits all adult    sizes.”
Lifestyle and Community, Palm Springs

This “laugh out loud” comedy is a rare treat! The story involves two widowers who are long-time friends, a buxom call girl, and the wonders of a little blue pill! Charley Millhouse is soon to turn 77 and his best friend Moe Crubbs wants to do something very special to celebrate, with the help of a few call girls and some black-market Viagra.  The trouble is, Moe doesn’t want to participate and Charley it turns out has a deep, dark secret he’d rather not share! This extremely funny show examines the importance of close friendships; the realization that emotions don’t diminish with age and the idea that feeling wanted make the difference between living and just existing.

ONE HIT WONDERS
A Musical revue by: Howard Pechet

 

We continually hear great hits and hum along to great melodies, but often those songs and the artists, come and go.  It’s said that everyone has a chance for 15 minutes of fame, and so it is with One Hit Wonders. For every great band or artist, there are about 20 more groups or artists who have had one big break – one great song to their credit. Many have even won a Grammy or a Juno award, and then surprisingly, they disappear from the music scene.  We look at the hits and the hit makers and provide 2 hours of non-stop musical hits and great memories.

Bernard, a successful architect living in Paris, thinks he can easily cope with his three airline stewardess fiancées.  It’s all a question of timetables and a reliable, long-suffering housekeeper who reluctantly has the role of romantic air-traffic controller.  When old school friend Robert arrives, Bernard relishes the chance to show his wide-eyed visitor his first-class operation at work.  Unfortunately, schedules change, flights are delayed and a new turbo-charged Boeing aircraft is introduced and chaos ensues in this hysterical whirlwind of mayhem and matchmaking.
