February 12,13,19,20,25, 26, 27, 2010
Book by Rachael Sheinkin, Music and Lyrics by William Finn
Can you spell H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S? Nominated for six Broadway Tony Awards, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a tuneful, offbeat and smart musical. Each night, the witty cast challenges audience members and Austin celebrities to a bona fide spell-off, but be prepared: this bee is anything but typical! Great fun for all ages, this show is a unique performance filled with surprising improvisations every single night!
"Spelling Bee is riotously funny and remarkably ingenious. Gold stars all around!" -The New York Times
A Midsummer Night’s (Sci Fi) Dream
A co-production with Augusta State University, and this exciting world premier by William Shakespeare, adapted by Walter Evans. This is not a Dinner Theatre production, but will be performed as part of our Spring fest on the outdoor stage on April 29, 2010.
A Midsummer Night’s (Sci Fi) Dream is a hilarious contemporary comedy set on a golf course in an alternate universe where Jaguar Woods rules Augusta and prepares to marry Sarah Palin; the alien Galactic King Oberon and his Queen Titania come to enjoy golf and play practical jokes on two pairs of Augusta sweethearts; the donkey-headed caddy Bottom sings country music and makes love to the queen, Puck does rap and hip hop, androids do “the robot,” caddies and grounds-keepers present a hilarious skit to entertain the big shots—a modern language adaptation, updated and easy to follow—of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

The story of these five unforgettable women is a hilarious and touching comedy about friendships that last forever.
Five Southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their college swim team, set aside a long weekend every August to recharge those relationships. Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage on North Carolina’s Outer Banks to catch up, laugh and meddle in each other’s lives. “The Dixie Swim Club” focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of thirty-three years.

No one has ever gotten the best of the great detective…until now.
Dearly Beloved

by Jessie Jones, Nicolas Hope and James Wooten
In DEARLY BELOVED, the Futrelle Sisters, Frankie, Honey Raye and Twink, are throwing a wedding. Frankie has almost made herself sick with elaborate preparations for her daughter Tina Jo's antebellum-inspired wedding, and the rumor mill in their small town of Fayro, Texas, is working overtime. No surprise there, the Futrelle Sisters have never been strangers to gossip. After all, they did survive the scandalous breakup of their almost-famous gospel singing trio, The Sermonettes.
But Twink's desperate attempts to get her boyfriend of fifteen-and-one-half years down the aisle, Frankie's ongoing conversations with their dead mother, and Honey Raye's tendency to race to the altar at every opportunity have kept tongues wagging for years. In spite of her own marital problems, Frankie has held steadfastly to the hope that she can pull off one "final Futrelle occasion" using a " Gone With The Wind" themed elegance and style, and the help of cantankerous wedding coordinator, Miss Geneva Musgrove, owner of the local floral shop/bus depot.

It is the time of year to peek into the magical and timeless world of the North Pole, bustling workshops, cheerful elves and the jolly old leader himself, Santa Claus. Santa's efficient, yet frenzied Chief of Staff, the ditzy housekeeper with a secret crush, the high-pressure sleigh salesman and the workshop foreman who does not quite command the English language all combine to keep the place running like clock work, with he exception of a few mishaps. Soon, a request from one child's letter throws everything off course and the answer lies in rediscovering the Christmas spirit.
