SUMMARY:The Boy Who Loved Monsters and the Girl Who Loved Peas

The family has to decide whether to send the monster back to Monster World or accept it as a member of their family. \nProduced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY\, INC.\, of Woodstock\, Illinois. \nDirected by Mary Ann Janecka \nPerformances are June 7th – 28th\, 2025\, Saturdays @ 11am & 1:30pm and Sunday\, June 22nd @ 2pm \nSeason Tickets AVAILABLE HERE  \nIndividual Tickets AVAILABLE HERE

SUMMARY:Crimes of the Heart
DESCRIPTION:The scene is Hazlehurst\, Mississippi\, where the three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of the family patriarch\, their grandfather\, who is living out his last hours in the local hospital. Lenny\, the oldest sister\, is unmarried at thirty and facing diminishing marital prospects; Meg\, the middle sister\, who quickly outgrew Hazlehurst\, is back after a failed singing career on the West Coast; while Babe\, the youngest\, is out on bail after having shot her husband in the stomach. Their troubles\, grave and yet\, somehow\, hilarious\, are highlighted by their priggish cousin\, Chick\, and by the awkward young lawyer who tries to keep Babe out of jail while helpless not to fall in love with her. In the end the play is the story of how its young characters escape the past to seize the future—but the telling is so true and touching and consistently hilarious that it will linger in the mind long after the curtain has descended. \nProduced by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing  \nDirected by Joseph “Chepe” Lockett \nPerformances run June 6th – 28th\, 2025\, Fridays & Saturdays @ 8 pm\, and Sunday\, June 15th @ 2pm \nSeason Tickets AVAILABLE HERE \nIndividual Tickets AVAILABLE HERE

SUMMARY:The Twelve Days of Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Christmas is just around the corner\, and Shirley the Partridge is a bit nervous because it’s her very first time carrying out the ancient family tradition—gathering the French Hens and the Calling Birds and … oh … everyone—for the official singing of “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” With strict instructions from her mom\, Grammy and Great Grammy to guard the Five Golden Rings\, Shirley sets off on a quest to find the song participants. But there are some bumps in the road. The sweet and sappy Turtledoves get injured while doing their adorable mating dance. The manic and overworked Calling Birds decide to postpone Christmas until spring when shipping and fuel costs are lower. The Six Geese a-Laying have flown south to Florida for the winter\, taking most of the Seven Swans a-Swimming with them. And just when things can’t possibly get any worse for Shirley\, the evil Christmas Hoarder steals the Five Golden Rings\, adding them to his growing holiday collection of Christmas ornaments\, Hanukkah menorahs\, Kwanzaa fruits\, Diwali candles … and entire Thanksgiving dinners. But things begin looking up when Alyssa—a super-cool steampunk swan—befriends the grumpy Shirley and joins her on her quest. Will they be able to save Christmas?

SUMMARY:The Charitable Sisterhood Christmas Spectacular
DESCRIPTION:Christmas\, 1977\, is only three weeks away\, and the ladies of the Charitable Sisterhood are preparing for Second Trinity Church’s annual Christmas Spectacular … but they’re having trouble staying focused on their preparations because there’s a criminal on the loose—someone has stolen the baby Jesus figure from his place in Second Trinity’s nativity scene. Sisterhood leader Bea Littleton is certain that the culprit is her longtime rival\, Lucille Orton\, from First Salvation (a place of extremely strict beliefs just up the road). Bea and the other sisterhood members decide that they need help getting to the bottom of things\, and they call in honorary member and private investigator Janet Murchison to delve more deeply into things and see if she can determine who the perpetrator is. By show time\, Janet is starting to think she knows exactly who is guilty of what … but the truth can’t be revealed until the end of the Spectacular. As a result\, we watch from both onstage and backstage\, as the sisterhood performs sacred songs and satirical skits (after all\, where else does Santa meet the Wise Men at the manger?). The fun doesn’t let up until the hilarious revelation at the show’s climax\, which leaves the audience and the sisterhood filled with the very best spirit of the Christmas season. \nProduced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY\, INC.\, of Woodstock\, Illinois. \nThe Charitable Sisterhood Christmas Spectacular was originally produced by Virginia Repertory Theatre\, Richmond\, Va. \nDirected by Brett Hainley \nSeason Tickets Available HERE \nIndividual Tickets Available HERE

A successful nurse because she’s warm\, practical and cares about people\, but doesn’t tend to pause and consider whether she ought to be less frank; a blurter. Enjoys her role as the local Yankee. \nLorraine Jensen (40s) – Lived here (a small town in Virginia) all her life. Has nine children\, at last count. Gently sarcastic and always good humored. \nBea Littleton (Late 40s to early 50s) – The wife of Pastor Hiram Littleton and happy to let you know it. He might be the pastor\, but it’s her church. \nJanet Murchison (35-40) – A New Jersey native who recently opened her own private investigation agency. Quick with a wisecrack and even quicker with ideas. Bea trusts her even though she dislikes doing so. \nLucille Orton (50s) – The widow of the late Reverend Joseph Orton of First Salvation Church. Bea’s blood rival. In appearance\, puritanical and scary. In tone\, sweetly menacing. Carrie Nation by way of Sue Ann Nivens. \nSYNOPSIS:\nChristmas\, 1977\, is only three weeks away\, and the ladies of the Charitable Sisterhood are preparing for Second Trinity Church’s annual Christmas Spectacular … but they’re having trouble staying focused on their preparations because there’s a criminal on the loose—someone has stolen the baby Jesus figure from his place in Second Trinity’s nativity scene. Sisterhood leader Bea Littleton is certain that the culprit is her longtime rival\, Lucille Orton\, from First Salvation (a place of extremely strict beliefs just up the road). Bea and the other sisterhood members decide that they need help getting to the bottom of things\, and they call in honorary member and private investigator Janet Murchison to delve more deeply into things and see if she can determine who the perpetrator is. By show time\, Janet is starting to think she knows exactly who is guilty of what … but the truth can’t be revealed until the end of the Spectacular. As a result\, we watch from both onstage and backstage\, as the sisterhood performs sacred songs and satirical skits (after all\, where else does Santa meet the Wise Men at the manger?). The fun doesn’t let up until the hilarious revelation at the show’s climax\, which leaves the audience and the sisterhood filled with the very best spirit of the Christmas season. \nAUDITIONS FOR THIS PRODUCTION WILL CONSIST OF COLD READINGS FROM THE SCRIPT. \n***************************************************************************\nThe Company OnStage\, Inc.
