Treasure
Island
by Ken Ludwig
based
on the book by Robert Louise Stevenson
Winner
- 2009 AATE Distinguished Play Award, Best Adaptation
From
Samuel French, inc.:
Based
on the masterful adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure
Island is a stunning yarn of piracy on the tropical seas. It begins
at an inn on the Devon coast of England in 1775 and quickly becomes
an unforgettable tale of treachery and mayhem featuring a host
of legendary swashbucklers including the dangerous Billy Bones
(played unforgettably in the movies by Lionel Barrymore), the
sinister two-timing Israel Hands, the brassy woman pirate Anne
Bonney, and the hideous form of evil incarnate, Blind Pew. At
the center of it all are Jim Hawkins, a 14-year-old boy who longs
for adventure, and the infamous Long John Silver, who is a complex
study of good and evil, perhaps the most famous hero-villain of
all time. Silver is an unscrupulous buccaneer-rogue whose greedy
quest for gold, coupled with his affection for Jim, cannot help
but win the heart of every soul who has ever longed for romance,
treasure and adventure.
This
production made possible in part by a grant from the Arrowhead
Regional Arts Council (http://www.aracouncil.org/) through an
appropriation from the MN State Legislature.

Cole
Porter’s You Never Know
Based
on the play Candlelight by Siegfried Geyer, Karl Farkas and Robert
Katscher. As adapted by Rowland Leigh. Additional Adaptation by
Paul Lazarus. Music and Lyrics by Cole Porter.
From
Samuel French, inc.:
This
romantic musical comedy is set in Paris in 1929. Filled with delightful,
witty Cole Porter songs, the story takes place one summer evening
in Baron Rommer's elegant penthouse suite at the Hotel Ritz. The
baron and his butler switch identities so that the butler can
pursue a woman he believes is a lady of a much higher class. It
transpires that she is actually a maid in the service of Mme.
Baltin, a high society figure who has captured the baron's heart.
Her jealous husband and an actress headlining at the Follies Bergere
round out the cast of this door slamming farce with wonderful
songs and dancing.

Play
On!
By
Rick Abbott
From
Samuel French, inc.:
This
is the hilarious story of a theater group trying desperately to
put on a play in spite of maddening interference from a haughty
authoress who keeps revising the script. Act I is a rehearsal
of the dreadful show, Act II is the near disastrous dress rehearsal,
and the final act is the actual performance in which anything
that can go wrong does. When the authoress decides to give a speech
on the state of the modern theatre during the curtain calls, the
audience is treated to a madcap climax to a thoroughly hilarious
romp. Even the sound effects reap their share of laughter.

The
Best Christmas Pageant Ever
by
Barbara Robinson
From
Samuel French, inc.:
In
this hilarious Christmas tale, a couple struggling to put on a
church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the Herdman kids--
probably the most inventively awful kids in history. You won't
believe the mayhem-- and the fun-- when the Herdman’s collide
with the Christmas story head on!
