2007 Kiss Me, Kate

The last show for 2007 was the 1999 Broadway Revival version of "Kiss Me, Kate" directed by Judy Sullivan with choreography by Tania Robins and musical direction by Geoff Earle.

Kiss Me, Kate is a Tony Award-winning musical with a book by Samuel and Bella Spewack and music and lyrics by Cole Porter. It won the first Tony Award for "Best Musical" in 1949.

Inspired by The Taming of the Shrew, it tells the tale of two once-married, now-divorced musical theater actors, Fred Graham and Lilli Vanessi, who are performing opposite each other in the roles of Petruchio and Katharine in a Broadway-bound musical version of William Shakespeare's play. Already on poor terms, the pair begin an all-out emotional war mid-performance that threatens the production's success. The only thing keeping the show together are threats from a pair of gangsters, who have come to collect a gambling debt from the show's Lucentio, Bill Calhoun. In classic musical comedy fashion, slapstick madness ensues before everything is resolved.

2008 Oliver!

The first show for 2008 was "Oliver!" directed by Roy Mears with choreography by Joy Curtis and musical direction by Geoff Earle.

Oliver! is based on Charles Dickens' book "Oliver Twist".

It tells the story of a young boy who lives in a workhouse with other orphaned boys. When Oliver disrupts a meal by asking for more, he is sold to a local undertaker and his family. He escapes and quickly befriends another young boy, the Artful Dodger. Dodger takes him to his home, an academy for orphans who learn how to be pick-pockets run by a kind, yet slightly sinister, old gentleman named Fagin. When Oliver goes with the other boys on his first pick-pocketing job, he is caught by the police (even though Oliver did not actively participate in the crime). The man that the boys thieved, Mr. Brownlow, learns of Oliver's sad past and brings him into his own home. Meanwhile, Nancy's husband (the villainous Bill Sykes) forces Nancy and Bet to snatch Oliver from Mr. Brownlow's house and take him back to Fagin's. Nancy plans on secretly taking Oliver back to Mr. Brownlow. Before she can do so, Bill finds out of his wife's plans, and murders her. He then goes after Oliver, but is shot and killed. Oliver and Mr. Brownlow, who turns out to be Oliver's grandfather, return safely home.
