Based on the hit play and movie The Rainmaker, 110 in the Shade focuses on one unmarried woman named Lizzie living in a small western town besieged by a long drought. Lizzie is dealing with another type of drought: her love life. Intelligent yet plain, she is worried that she will soon become an old maid with no one to love her. When a charismatic man named Starbuck arrives and claims the ability to make rain, Lizzie believes he is a con man with no abilities whatsoever. Little does she know that this man will change her life forever. A beautiful musical in the vein of Rodgers and Hammerstein, 110 in the Shade centers on Lizzie’s quest for self-acceptance and her choice between two suitors: the rainmaker Starbuck and the divorced Sheriff File.

Christmas in July? We bring you Thanksgiving in March! Welcome to a typical suburban drama classroom where a group of educators gather to create a new Thanksgiving play for elementary school students. Earnest and well-intentioned, the teachers struggle with the layers of complexity surrounding the holiday.

MIDDLE CLASS MILLIONAIRES Runs March 4-6

KRT_color logoMIDDLE CLASS MILLIONAIRES
Kincaid Regional Theatre
March 4-6
[Falmouth, Ky.]

Directed by Brett Price

A group of middle class, suburbia friends gather on the normally quiet cul-de-sac to discuss the daily goings on of their lives and neighborhood. Three men discuss a recent news story about how a priceless painting was recently stolen from a museum and the culprits were believed to be hiding out in the area waiting to unload the painting to a black-market dealer. The museum is offering a $3 million reward for its safe return, no questions asked. The men have a clue as to where the painting may be hidden and conspire to steal it from the crooks in order to claim the reward. The women are also discussing the news report and unbeknownst to the men, they too are conspiring to steal the painting. Neither group wants the other to know for fear of ridicule and because they each have their own plans for the reward money.  As each group make their plans, they are clueless that they may come head to head as each other’s adversaries. Meanwhile, the actual crooks are making their plans to retrieve the hidden painting in order to sell it on the black market.
