A “Broadway in Concert” One Act Musical
Book by John Caird,
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz,
Based on a concept by Charles Lisanby
This joyous and inspirational musical will be the Roadside Theater entry in
the 2006 IMA-E Festival of One Act Plays, hosted at the Roadside on Oct. 6-8,
2006 (performance date and time TBA). We are pleased to present three special
preview performances for our Roadside audiences. This heartfelt musical, freely
based on the Bible
story
of Noah
and his ark, takes a look at parents, children and faith... not to mention
centuries of unresolved family business!
It is a frank and often humorous examination of the age-old conflict between
parents and children. Noah, his family and the “Father” who created
them deal with the headstrong, cataclysmic actions of their respective children.
The show ultimately delivers a bittersweet but inspiring message: that "the
hardest part of love... is letting go."
An expansive, ambitious musical - a rich score [with] pageantry and sweep. -
L.A. Times
An affectionate show with a large heart -- Stylish, entertaining and often moving.

A Readers Theater Production
Adapted by James Roose Evans from the book by Helene Hanff
This Readers Theater production tells the delightful true story of a young,
struggling writer in New York and the staff of an antiquarian book store in
London. Based on real letters exchanged over 20 years, we learn they are in
a sense love letters – letters about the love of good literature and
rich friendship. Directed by Andrew Meredith.

Step into the enchanted world of Walt Disney’s
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and enter a lovely French provincial town where the beautiful
Belle lives with her father – a dotty inventor. When her father doesn’t
return from a trip to the local fair, Belle rushes off to find him. To her
dismay, she discovers he is being held captive in an old castle by a horrible
beast. She trades her freedom for his and the “tale as old as time” begins.
A perfect holiday event, BEAUTY & THE BEAST is full of magic, mystery

Written by Aaron Sorkin
This production will be presented as Dinner Theater at the Off Main Street
Theater, Mannheim. Recommended for MATURE audiences.
Written by the creator of “The
West Wing,” this
military court drama sizzles on stage. Two Marines are on trial for complicity
in the death of a fellow Marine at Guantanamo Bay. The Navy lawyer, a callow
young man more interested in softball games than the case, expects a plea bargain
and a cover up of what really happened. Prodded by a female member of his defense
team, the lawyer eventually makes a valiant effort to defend his clients and,
in so doing, puts the military mentality and the Marine code of honor on trial.

From the novel by Elizabeth Von Arnim
A delightful award-winning script for
spring time. Two frustrated London housewives decide to rent a villa in Italy
for a holiday away from their bleak marriages.
They recruit two very different English women to share the cost and the experience.
There, among the wisteria blossoms and Mediterranean sunshine, all four bloom
again—rediscovering themselves in ways that they—and we—could
never have expected.

The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to vibrant life
in this delightful musical parable. Joseph is a boy blessed with prophetic
dreams, and his father's favorite son. When he is sold into slavery by his
jealous brothers and taken to Egypt, Joseph endures a series of adventures
in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged.
Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso
to bubble-gum pop and rock 'n' roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely
and timeless.
