Gaslight Dinner Theatre 2007 Season

A Grand Night for Singing - Feb. 22-March 17

This musical revue provides a fresh take on the music of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. Conceived by Tony Award-winner Walter Bobbie, A Grand Night for Singing features some of the most popular songs from Broadway musicals created by the premiere duo. Songs from Carousel, State Fair, Oklahoma, Cinderella, The King and I, South Pacific, The Sound of Music and more get innovative new arrangements that earned this show two Tony nominations in 1994, including Best Musical.

Lend Me a Tenor - April 5-May 12

Ken Ludwig’s award-winning farce is the zany saga of an opera company dealing with a famed but problematic Italian tenor guest starring in Othello. Misunderstandings pile upon each other to start a chain reaction of mistaken identity, hilarious confusion and plot twists that culminate in a raucous ending. The play won two Tony Awards and four Drama Desk Awards in 1989.

Chicago - May 24-June 30

The smash Broadway musical has been running non-stop in New York since being revived in 1996 and picking up six Tony Awards, including Best Revival. It spawned a hit movie version in 2002 that won six Oscars and three Golden Globes, including Best Picture. Adapted from a play that originally debuted in 1926, Chicago is a steamy story of jealousy, ambition and one young lady’s consuming desire to be a star, no matter what the cost.

Steel Magnolias - Aug. 23-Oct. 13

Robert Harling’s look at women in the modern south is hilarious and heart wrenching. The colorful cast of characters was made famous in the 1989 movie starring Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Julia Roberts, Shirley McClain, Daryl Hannah and Olympia Dukakis.

A Sanders Family Christmas - Nov. 29-Dec. 22

The wacky Sanders family from Smoke on the Mountain is invited back to the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church for Christmas Eve 1941. More than two dozen carols, many of them vintage hymns, and hilarious yuletide stories get the congregation into a down-home Christmas spirit before the boys, including one of the Sanders’ own, go off to World War II.

Individual tickets for Gaslight Dinner Theatre shows are $30 per person, which includes dinner, drink, dessert, tax and the performance. A $120 season pass guarantees a seat in all five shows for the price of four individual shows.

Senior Lunch Matinees for patrons 55 and older are $20 per person. Matinees are not included in the season pass.

Renaissance Players 2007 Season

Children of Eden - March 23-April 1

Based on Biblical stories from Genesis, this musical by Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Wicked) and John Caird (Les Miserables) is a joyous and inspirational story about parents, children, faith and centuries of unresolved family issues. The first act tells the story of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, their relationships with each other and their relationships with the “Father” who created them. The second act deals with Noah and the flood and how it impacted his family relationships.

Cats - July 13-22

Since its London opening in 1981, the Andrew Lloyd Webber (The Phantom of the Opera, Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar) production has become one of the most loved and longest running musicals on Broadway and in British theatre history. Based on a story by T.S. Eliot, Cats won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The tribe of Jellicle cats gathers in a larger-than-life junkyard for the annual celebration in which they wait to see which of them will be chosen to journey to the Heavyside.

The Curious Savage - Oct. 19-28

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright John Patrick penned this warm-hearted tale about Ethel Savage, a wealthy widow who is committed to a “sanitorium” by her greedy stepchildren who want to get their hands on their father’s estate. There she meets a variety of social misfits who help Mrs. Savage lead her stepchildren on a merry chase for the money.

Peter Pan - Nov. 30-Dec. 16

The classic story of the boy who wouldn’t grow up has been enchanting audiences for over 50 years. Join Peter Pan, Wendy, Tinkerbell and the Lost Boys as they battle Captain Hook and his pirates in Neverland in the musical based on the story by J.M. Barrie.
