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!

July 9, 10 & 12

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.

 

July 23-26 & 30- Aug. 2

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!
