Dearly Beloved
January 18, 19, 24, 25, 26 at 8:00 p.m.
January 26 at 2:00 p.m.
The Futrelle sisters are throwing a good old fashioned southern wedding and the rumor mill in their small town is working overtime. No surprise there, the sisters haven't been strangers to gossip since the scandalous break-up of their near famous gospel singing trio. Now, with Frankie's ongoing conversations with her dead mother about her marital problems, Twink's desperate attempts to get her boyfriend of fifteen years down the aisle, and the prodigal Honey Raye's arrival at church in skin tight gold lame while battling hot flashes, it appears things couldn't get much worse. Unfortunately the sisters find out they can, in this hysterically funny comedy from the playwright of Dearly Departed.
Greater Tuna
April 18, 19, 24, 25, 26 at 8:00 p.m.
April 26 at 2:00 p.m.
What do Arles Struvie, Aunt Pearl, and Reverend Spikes all have in common? They are all among the upstanding citizens of Tuna, Texas in this howlingly funny send-up of small towns. In this Off-Broadway hit, just two actors create almost the entire population of Tuna in a tour de farce of quick change artistry! This is a must see show for southern comedy enthusiasts.
Christmas Belles
October 10, 11, 16, 17, 18 at 8:00 p.m.
October 18 at 2:00 p.m.
It's a Futrelle holiday when we revisit the sisters as they take on the church Christmas program which spins hilariously out of control in this Southern farce.
The entire cast is dropping like flies due to food poisoning from the Band Booster's Pancake Supper; Santa is passing a kidney stone; the Elvis impersonator is reluctant to perform; Miss Geneva, the ousted director of the previous twentyseven productions, is trying to take over; and Frankie lets slip a huge family secret that will forever change the family. But, in true Futrelle fashion, the sisters pull together to present a holiday program the town will never forget! This hysterical comedy is guaranteed to bring joy to your world!
