GREATER LEWISVILLE COMMUNITY THEATRE
ANNOUNCES 2011-12 SEASON

 

GREAT AMERICAN TRAILER PARK MUSICAL Music and Lyrics by David Nehls, Book by Betsy Kelso Directed by Terri Hagar Scherer Production Dates: Weekends beginning October 14 through October 30, 2011, with a Thursday evening performance October 27.
Joyful and unashamedly vulgar, this comic fable about women in a Florida trailer park and their no-account men is more fun than a chair-throwing episode of Jerry Springer set to music! When a stripper named Pippi moves into Armadillo Acres, on the run from a permanent-marker-sniffing lunatic named Duke, she gets sympathy from the park’s ruling clique: Betty, Linoleum and Pickles – until she steals somebody’s husband. With rousing songs and a hilarious cast of misfits, this wheel-spinning, mud-splattering good time of a show is the theatrical equivalent of a bag of Doritos…you can’t get enough! Rated R for language and adult themes
NUNCRACKERS – The Nunsense Christmas Musical Book, Music and Lyrics by Dan Goggin Directed by Sharon Veselic Production Dates: Weekends beginning December 2 through December 18, 2011, with a Thursday evening performance December 15.
Dan Goggin’s beloved sisters are at it again in this hilarious holiday version from the Nunsense series. This time, Reverend Mother Regina is back with her own cable access channel and ready to put on a holiday ballet to support the Mount Saint Helens Convent. But when her star performer is injured, the Reverend Mother has to resort to some wacky hijinks to ensure that the show goes on!  Rated PG
ROOM SERVICE By John Murray and Allen Boretz Directed by Harry Friedman Production Dates: Weekends beginning February 10 through February 26, 2012.
It’s 1937. A nimble-witted producer, flat broke and living with several actors in a Broadway hotel, is desperately in need of a good script. He finds one, and, by a stroke of good luck, he also finds an angel with $15,000. This comedy shows how, during a hectic few days, the producer plays hide-and-seek with the investor who wants to withdraw his financial support, manages to outwit creditors, and at the very last moment, puts on his play in spite of the most ludicrous and unexpected obstacles. Rated G
THE COVER OF LIFE By R. T. Robinson Directed by Chris Adams Production Dates: Weekends beginning April 20 through May 6, 2012.
It’s rural Louisiana in 1943. The men are off to war, and a local news story about three young wives keeping the home fires burning intrigues publisher Henry Luce. He decides that they belong on the cover of Life Magazine and assigns Kate Miller to the story. She has been covering the war in Europe, and though she views doing a "women's piece" as a career setback, she accepts because it will be her first cover story. Kate spends a week with the Cliffert women, and she begins to understand them while coming face to face with her own powerlessness in a man's world. Rated PG
HAIRSPRAY Music and Lyrics by Marc Shaiman, Lyrics by  Scott Wittman, Book  by Mark O’Donnell and Thomas Meehan Directed by Eddie Floresca Production Dates: Weekends beginning July 6 through July 29, 2012.
In 1962 Baltimore, the ’50s are out...and change is in the air. Lovable plus-size heroine Tracy Turnblad has a passion for dancing and wins a spot on the local TV dance program, “The Corny Collins Show.” Overnight she finds herself transformed from outsider to teen celebrity. Can a larger-than-life adolescent manage to vanquish the program’s reigning princess, integrate the television show, and find true love (singing and dancing all the while, of course!) without mussing her bouffant? Rated PG-13
