 I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change!
February 5-27 with a special Valentine's NIGHT performance
I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change explores contemporary heterosexual courtship by using two time-tested coping mechanisms for the traumas and elations of love—humor and music.
I Love You, You’re Perfect reveals the difficulties and joys of connecting with another person at nearly every stage of life. Four actors play over 40 roles in a collection of scenes and songs scaling the dizzying spectrum of male/female relationships. Act I takes a joyfully satiric look at being single in today’s world, and Act II turns its attention to married life.
This musical comedy review uses song styles as varied as country-Western ditties, tangos and ballads. Each number explores those secret thoughts anyone’s had about dating, romance, marriage, lovers, husbands, wives, and in-laws, but was afraid to admit. Any ritual in the jungle of the modern-day mating game is fun fodder for the satire of I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.

 Foxfire
March 18-April 2
Annie Nations, an indomitable Appalachian widow of 79, lives on her mountain farm with the acerbic ghost of her husband Hector. Her tranquility is threatened by a brash real estate developer who wants to turn her land into a vacation resort and by concern over her son Dillard, a country singer who has come home with two stranded children because his wife has run away. Annie's battle to decide her future takes her through some funny, touching and magical flashbacks to her life with Hector. Played on Broadway by Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy, this couple offers a staunchly affirmative tribute to country folk.

 The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
July 8-30
Journey into the Wild West, 1890 in this classic story of good versus evil, law versus the gun, one man versus Liberty Valance. A tale of love, hope and revenge set against the vicious backdrop of a lawless society.
When a young scholar from New York city travels west in search of a new life he arrives beaten and half-dead on the dusty streets of Twotrees. Rescued from the plains, the town soon becomes his home. A local girl gives him purpose in a broken land, but is it enough to save him from the vicious outlaw who wants him dead? He must make the choice: to turn and run or to stand for what he believes, to live or to fight; to become the man who shot Liberty Valance. |

 Pump Boys and Dinettes
August 5-27
In the indoor theatre!!
NOMINEE! 1982 Tony Award for Best Musical
NOMINEE! 1982 Drama Desk Awards for Outstanding Musical, Outstanding Lyrics and Outstanding Music. The 'Pump Boys' sell high octane on Highway 57 in Grand Ole Opry country and the 'Dinettes', Prudie and Rhetta Cupp, run the Double Cupp diner next door. Together they fashion an evening of country western songs that received unanimous raves on and off-Broadway. With heartbreak and hilarity, they perform on guitars, piano, bass and, yes, kitchen utensils. "Both musically and theatrically, a triumph of ensemble playing. It doesn't merely celebrate the value of friendship and life's simple pleasures, it embodies them." - The New York Times "Totally terrific...It is such fun." - The New York Post
"A gasser, with buoyant, earthy humor." - New York Daily News
"Totally delightful." - Newsweek
"When the inevitable "closing time' comes along, you'll wish you could stay a while longer." - Christian Science Monitor
PUMP BOYS AND DINETTES first appeared at the Colonnades Theatre in New York City on October 1, 1981. |
