A CATERED AFFAIR
Presented by Lebanon Theatre Company
Sept. 9-18
Lebanon
This musical, by four-time Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein, score by John Bucchino and direction by Tony Award-winner John Doyle, poses the question that inevitably faces every mother and daughter: whose wedding is it anyway? It’s 1953, and family ties are strained when a Bronx mother struggles to give her only daughter the elaborate wedding she herself never had and the bride never asked for. Based on the 1956 motion picture of the same name. It’s a funny, poignant and oh-so-human tale of love and disaffection, exploring both our need for love and the true meaning of family.

SWAMP OPERA
Presented by Lebanon Theatre Company
July 22-31
Lebanon
A new musical by Heywood Banks, brings us a story of love, trechery, and redemption. It is loosely based on a 17th century folk song, “A Frog Went A-Courting.” It opens as our indulgent Grey Cat orphans a baby mouse when he makes lunch of her mother. Awakening in consciousness, he engages Uncle Rat, the most prominent creature at the pond, to care for her. She grows into a lovely, sheltered mouse, having been educated by Uncle in every subject except real life experience. As Uncle grows old he fears leaving her alone with no one to care for her so in secret, he solicits the help of his friend, Grey Cat, to find her a beau. Uncle’s long lost nephew arrives, along with problems and growing turmoil as Miss Mousey has recently fallen in love with the pond’s hero and swamp musician, the very charming, Froggy. The story becomes untangled with spurned lovers, unrequited hearts, and a growing suspicion in Uncle’s heart that meddling in love could prove disastrous. The eighteen songs in the production run from jazz to rockabilly to folk to torch, and will linger in the minds of the audience long after the lights go out. Performed by students grades 6-12.
