AVENUE Q
Music and Lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx Book by Jeff Whitty

This laugh-out-loud musical tells of a recent college grad who discovers that Avenue Q is not your ordinary neighborhood. He and his new-found “friends” struggle to find jobs, dates, and the ever-elusive purpose in life. Filled with gut-busting humor and a delightfully catchy score, not to mention LOTS of puppets, Avenue Q is a truly unique show that has become a favorite for audiences everywhere. For a show with lots of adult issues, this is one puppet-filled comedy, where puppets are friends, monsters are good and life lessons are learned.

GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS
By David Mamet

For two days we see into the lives of four desperate Chicago real estate agents as they lie, bribe, betray, flatter, intimidate and even burglarize their way to elusive, illusory success. As they do anything to “win” – selling worthless real estate to unwitting prospective buyers – the men hustle others and fool themselves into thinking that they have what it takes to make an “honest” living.

Greg Procaccino, Director\
Melanie D. Hall, Production Stage Manager

Performances: April 6 – April 24, 2016

About the Play
In the middle of a howling snowstorm, a bus out of Kansas City pulls up at a cheerful roadside diner. All roads are blocked, and the weary travelers are going to have to hole up until morning. Cherie, a nightclub chanteuse in a sparkling gown and a seedy fur-trimmed jacket, is the passenger with most to worry about. She’s been pursued, made love to and finally kidnapped by a twenty-one-year-old cowboy with a ranch of his own and the romantic methods of an unusually headstrong bull. The belligerent cowhand is right behind her, ready to sling her over his shoulder and carry her, alive and kicking, all the way to Montana. Even as she’s ducking out from under his clumsy but confident embraces, and screeching at him fiercely to shut him up, she pauses to furrow her forehead and muse, “Somehow deep inside of me I got a funny feeling I’m gonna end up in Montana …” As a counterpoint to the main romance, the proprietor of the cafe and the bus driver at last find time to develop a friendship of their own; a middle-age scholar comes to terms with himself; and a young girl who works in the cafe also gets her first taste of romance.

Role Breakdowns

  • Elma Duckworth — high school-er, waitress, guileless and open, trusting, good worker, sweet
  • Grace Hoylard — (30s-60s, dependent upon male opposite casting of Carl) diner owner, seasoned, worldly-wise won’t truck with much nonsense
  • Will Masters — (30s-50s) the sheriff, large, capable, a good man and a good sheriff
  • Cherie — (20s) a chanteuse, innocent at heart, but has seen a bit much of the world for her age, speaks her mind, not educated, but not unintelligent, from the Ozarks
  • Dr. Gerald Lyman — (40s-50s) a former college professor, drinker, bit of a letch, life has beaten him down quite a bit
  • Carl — (30s-60s, dependent upon female opposite casting of Grace) bus driver, friendly, hefty, loud and hearty, loves his independence
  • Virgil Blessing — (40s-50s) Bo’s surrogate parent, guitar player, kind, quiet, a ranch hand-cowboy
  • Bo Decker — (20s) big-hearted, enthusiastic – like a puppy not grown into his legs yet, self-confident to a fault, totally inexperienced in the ways of the world, he’s rarely been off of the ranch he was raised on, rancher, cowboy

Note: Color-blind casting
