SEUSSICAL
ARNOLD HIGH SCHOOL
11/9-1/4/2013
Now one of the most performed shows in America, SEUSSICAL is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza! Tony winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (LUCKY STIFF, MY FAVORITE YEAR, ONCE ON THIS ISLAND, and RAGTIME) have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie, and a little boy with a big imagination--Jojo. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge--not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping, and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family, and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.SEUSSICAL is fun for the whole family! Performers of all ages will be excited to portray the characters from the familiar Dr. Seuss fables. This musical provides wonderful creative opportunities for set, lighting, and costume design.More Ahrens and FlahertyFor complet

PLAID TIDINGS
LIMELIGHT THEATRE INC.
12/7-1/6/2013
FOREVER PLAID: PLAID TIDINGS is a brand-new show that offers the best of FOREVER PLAID tied-up in a nifty package with a big Christmas bow on top! Filled with Christmas standards that have all been "Plaid-erized," our boys are back to do their Christmas Special.At first Francis, Jinx, Smudge, and Sparky aren't sure why they've returned to Earth for another posthumous performance, but a phone call from the heavenly Rosemary Clooney lets them know that they're needed to put a little harmony into a discordant world. Sprinkled among the Christmas offerings are audience favorites like their riotous three minute and eleven second version of "The Ed Sullivan Show" - this time featuring The Rockettes, the Chipmunks and The Vienna Boys Choir, and a Plaid Caribbean Christmas which puts the "Day-O" in Excelsis!This truly "heaven-sent" holiday treat will lift audiences' spirits and remind youngsters that not all good music has to be auto-tuned.

OIL CITY SYMPHONY
RED BARN THEATRE
12/13-1/12/2013
The auditorium has been swept. The crepe paper has been hung. Four music stands sit on an improvised stage. In this hit revue from the creators of PUMP BOYS AND DINETTES, four graduates of Oil City High return to their alma mater for a recital in honor of their beloved music teacher, Miss Reeves. Proud, eager - not necessarily gifted - and slightly competitive, the four perform a bizarre program that ranges from the "1812 Overture"? to "The Stars And Stripes Forever"? to rock standards, sentimental favorites and off beat original songs. It's a knee-slapping, sweetly nutty tribute that's an ideal showcase for four charismatic actor-singer-musicians. Easy and economical to produce, OIL CITY SYMPHONY is good old-fashioned fun that even includes an audience-participatory rendition of "The Hokey-Pokey,"? and punch and cookies served by the cast at the end of the performance.
