FOOTLOOSE

Performed at The Nampa Civic Center, Nampa, Idaho

(Tickets on sale now! Call 462-5523)

This Starlight favorite is back by popular demand. “Exhilarating! Spectacular! Fun! Fabulous!  This show rocks!”  Critic Jeffrey Lyons states, “You’ll have a hard time staying in your seat!”  Based on the 1984 hit movie, Footloose is the story of the new kid in town, a free-spirited hero who reminds everyone that it's no sin to be young. A family musical with electrifying music and dance, it is the tale of struggling to overcome well-intentioned but misguided oppression, and coming to terms with loss - a boy's loss of his father and a man's loss of his son. Don’t miss the show that critics call, “The Grease for the new millennium!”

This famously wacky and entertaining Gilbert & Sullivan hit takes on a new look as the jaunty pirates, bumbling policemen and eccentric Major General move from Victorian England to the wharf of 1880’s San Francisco. The classic score, updated with new arrangements and lyrics, blends with western cowboy sensibility to produce a side-splitting comedy the whole family will love.

The Foreigner

Outdoor Summer Amphitheatre, Garden Valley, Idaho

This side-splitting comedy, set in a resort-style fishing lodge in rural Georgia, follows the antics of ultra-shy Charlie, who registers as a guest with hopes that people will leave him alone. Enter his savior, a backwoods boy named Froggy, who helps Charlie out by telling everyone that Charlie is visiting from a foreign country. Since no one knows that Charlie speaks English, he soon becomes privy to a multitude of mysterious secrets and scandals amongst the residents of the lodge… and the fun begins.

"I laughed start to finish at one comic surprise after another."

The New Yorker

FALL 2010: In Boise, Idaho

Musical Comedy murders of 1940

Performed at TBA, Boise, Idaho

An ingenious and wildly comic romp  that critics hailed as, "Enormous fun…A relentlessly convoluted murder-mystery plot, with twist piled on twist till you have to give way and start laughing…it's hugely enjoyable." —Village Voice. "MURDERS is the intelligent person's kind of nonsense." —NY Magazine.

Try to keep up with the body count as the “Stage Door Slasher” wreaks havoc on the cast and crew of a doomed Broadway musical. Trapped in an isolated manor, replete with sliding panels, secret passageways and a mysterious German maid, bodies start to drop in plain sight, knives spring out of nowhere, masked figures drag their victims behind swiveling bookcases, and accusing fingers point in all directions.  Madness and mayhem were never as hilarious as this side-splitting farce, which serves up a generous serving of the author's biting, satiric and refreshingly irreverent wit.  A genuine hit!  Get your tickets early!!

Opens October 8, 2010 – Closes November 13, 2010
