The
Final Twist by Ken Whitmore and Alfred Bradley
-THRILLER
Auditions
May 12 at 6PM
2
Men, 1 Woman
Synopsis:
This
classic thriller packs intrigue and humor into an ingenious plot.
An author with writer's block is offered a commission that will
meet his debts before he meets the enforcer. An actor with specific
needs wants a script. It must feature a theatrically convincing,
perfect modus operandi and alibi for the murder of his young wife.
She is to remain in the dark so the play will be a surprise. The
actor's extreme approach to rehearsal worries the writer, but
he is forced to remain silent.
Special
Encore Presentation!

Blithe
Spirit by Noel Coward- COMEDY
Synopsis:
The
smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stages, this much-revived
classic from the playwright of Private Lives offers up fussy,
cantakerous novelist Charles Condomine, re-married but haunted
(literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, the clever and
insistent Elvira who is called up by a visiting "happy medium",
one Madame Arcati. As the (worldly and un-) personalities clash,
Charles' current wife Ruth is accidentally killed, "passes
over", joins Elvira and the two "blithe spirits"
haunt the hapless Charles into perpetuity.

Some
Enchanted Evening,
The
Songs of Rodgers and Hammerstein - MUSICAL
Synopsis:
More
so than any composer and lyricist who have written for the stage,
the songs of Rodgers & Hammerstein have become an integral
part of our everyday lives. We sing them in the shower, we dance
to them in ballrooms, we hear them on the radio and in clubs and,
yes, in elevators and supermarkets too. We still thrill to them
on the live stage in their respective shows, and we teach them
to our children. This stunning collection of compositions places
five performers in a theatrical setting-first "backstage,"
where the songs are sung as personal interplay, and then "onstage."
While offering the performers an opportunity to explore the songs
within their own styles and sensibilities, it offers the audience
a glorious parade of genuine hits.
August
27-30 & Sept. 3-6
The
Wizard of Oz by L.Frank Baum Adapted by Sue
Hennessy- CHILDREN’S
The
Grand Marais Playhouse is brining back its 2008 Community Youth
production based on the original book. Trimmed down and with more
dramatic production elements, this production will be worth seeing
again or for the first time. Bring the family!
