First Baptist of Ivy Gap’s 100th anniversary picnic was
a smashing success, except for one little thing: the bolt
of lightning that struck the church’s steeple, igniting a
fire that destroyed the sanctuary and so much more.
In the wake of the disaster, key women of the church– led by Edith, the pastor’s take-charge wife – gather in
what’s left (the fellowship hall) to commiserate and try
to put things back together. To raise spirits and funds
for rebuilding, the women plan an evening of entertainment
designed to showcase the congregation’s talent.
Could it be that some of Edith’s gang plan a song and
dance number that may shock the congregation? If so,
how will they circumvent the authority of the all-male
conservative board of deacons, not to mention, one of
their own? Change is in the air as these six diverse
women challenge institutions as well as each other.
Along the way, there are laughs to be shared, battles to
be fought, love to be won, relationships to be mended,
and losses to be grieved. |

Arnold Lobel’s well-loved characters hop from the page to the
stage in Robert and Willie Reale’s musical A Year With Frog
And Toad. Conceived by Mr. Lobel’s daughter, Adrianne Lobel,
A Year With Frog And Toad remains true to the spirit of
the original stories as it follows two great friends, the cheerful
and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad through four
fun-filled seasons. Waking from hibernation in the spring, they
proceed to plant gardens, swim, rake leaves and go sledding,
learning life lessons along the way, including a most important
one about friendship and rejoicing in the attributes that make
each of us different and special. |

An award winning playwright asks what you would do if you suffered temporary amnesia and stumbled into a bed and breakfast off season only to find you were expected for the week end. That is what happens to the leading man in this delightful comedy. The attractive real estate lady calls him by one name and the housekeeper by another. A business executive and his secretary appear with a confirmed reservation and call him by another name. The executive's wife surprises them all and calls the hero by a different name, and a nightclub singer enters with her hearty boy friend and recognizes him by yet another name. As the amnesiac and the real estate lady band together to solve the mystery, it develops that people are not who they seem and even though each works for a different government agency, they all have the identical purpose. The plot becomes more and more hilarious until all questions are answered, including who the hero is and what the crime is with a surprising twist ending. This combination of intriguing laughter, romance and mystery provides a delightful evening.

Once upon a time, the young prince Pippin longed to
discover the secret of true happiness and fulfillment.
He sought it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations
of the flesh and the intrigues of political power
(after disposing of his father King Charlemagne the
Great). In the end, he found it in the simple pleasures
of home and family. This hip, tongue-in-cheek, anachronistic
fairy tale captivated Broadway audiences and
continues to appeal to the young at heart everywhere
(the show has become a staple on high school and
college campuses). The energetic pop-influenced
score by three-time Oscar®-winning composer/lyricist
Stephen Schwartz (“Godspell,” “Children of Eden” and
the animated films “Pocahontas,” “The Hunchback Of
Notre Dame” and “The Prince Of Egypt”) bursts with
one show stopping number after another, from soaring
ballads to infectious dance numbers. |
