Southern Comforts by Kathleen Clark
FEBRUARY 16-19, 2012
"In a sprawling New Jersey Victorian, a taciturn Yankee widower and a vivacious grandmother from Tennessee find what they least expected - a second chance at love. Their funny, awkward, and enchanting romance is filled with sweet surprise and unpredictable tribulation." (Samuel French)
Honky Tonk Angels by Ted Swindley
FEBRUARY 25, 2012 ~ ONE NIGHT ONLY!!! ~ FUNDRAISER
It happens every day of the year! Somewhere in America, a girl quits her job, kisses her loved ones goodbye and climbs aboard a Nashville-bound Greyhound. And every day those girls arrive in Music City USA with little more than a dream to sustain them. In Ted Swindley’s raucous and touching hit musical, three attractive and talented young women make their way to Nashville determined to “make it.” Hear the classic tunes of Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn as they were meant to be sung. Follow the adventures of these three sassy gals as they pursue their Music City dreams. Stand By Your Man, Coal Miner’s Daughter, 9-to-5, Harper Valley PTA, Rocky Top, I’ll Fly Away, These Boots Are Made For Walkin’ and Ode to Billy Joe are some of the country favorites that make HONKY TONK ANGELS the biggest sure-fire musical theatre hit of the year!
The Red Door Theatre in conjunction with America's favorite national touring company, Springer Theatricals, is offering this "one-night-only" fundraiser performance. Tickets ($50-75) will be made available first to the Red Door Theatre's season subscribers based on seniority. (This is just one more reason to purchase season tickets!). Any remaining tickets will be sold on a first-come basis.
The Passing of Pearl by Vain Colby
APRIL 26-29, 2012
"A play about friendship, forgiveness, acceptance and love, 'The Passing of Pearl' is set in a diner in Memphis in the 1980s. It tells the story of a brash, outspoken, hilarious and wise waitress trying, along with her good friend and colleague Daphne, to pick up the pieces and carry on after the death of Pearl, the kindhearted old lady who owned the diner." (Bluefield Daily Telegraph)
Dearly Departed by David Bottrell and Jessie Jones
AUGUST 2-5, 2012
"Not since STEEL MAGNOLIAS has a more colorful and dysfunctional group of Southern eccentrics gathered below the Mason-Dixon line. When the patriarch of the Turpin family keels over dead in the first scene, the struggle to get him buried involves the whole clan, including the not-so-grieving widow who wants to put 'Mean and Surly' on the tombstone." (DPS)
The Homecoming adapted by Christopher Sergel from Earl Hamner, Jr.
NOVEMBER 29-DECEMBER 2, 2012
The Homecoming, adapted from Earl Hamner's book that gave us the beloved TV series, The Waltons, tells the heartwarming story of a large, depression-era family at Christmas, and a special gift from the father for his eldest son.
