JEKYLL & HYDE: THE MUSICAL
Book & Lyrics by Leslie Bricusse
Music by Frank Wildhorn
An evocative tale of the epic battle between good and evil, Jekyll & hyde is based on Robert Louis Stevenson's classic story about a brilliant doctor whose experiments with human personality create a murderous counterpart.
Dr. Henry Jekyll unwittingly unleashes his own dark side, wreaking havoc in the streets of late 19th-century London as the savage, maniacal Edward Hyde.

THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER
By Barbara Robinson
The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world. They lie, steal, smoke cigars, swear, and hit little kids. So no one is prepared when this outlaw family invades church one Sunday and decides to take over the annual Christmas Pageant.
None of the Hermans has ever heard the Christmas story before. Their interpretation of the tale - the Wise Men are a bunch of dirty spies and Herod needs a good beating - has a lot of people up in arms. But it will make this year's pageant the most unusual anyone has seen and, just possibly, the best one ever.

ON GOLDEN POND
By Ernest Thompson
A touching, funny, and warmly perceptive play about a spirited and lovable couple in their twilight years who return to their summer home on Golden Pond. While there, they are visited by their daughter, and her dentist fiance, and his young son. The boy quickly becomes the "grandchild" they have longed for, and as Norman revels in spending time with him, he also learns some lessons about modern teenage awareness.

SPIRIT GUM
By Christopher Pyle & Rob McGraw
Shelly Martin has it pretty good. He owns a half way decent hotel in downtown Kansas City and lives there with his poker playing buddies and his memories of the heyday of the Kansas City jazz scene. When the granddaughter he never knew he had shows up at his doorstep homeless, penniless, and six months pregnant, it sets off a chain of events which involves all the classic elements of farce - confused identities, cons, ambushes, and outrageous lies. Spirit Gum is characters with real character, crisp, very funny dialogue and lots of glorious mayhem. It even has a live chicken!
