THE SOUND OF PLAID: THE GLEE CLUB VERSION
LAKE FOREST HIGH SCHOOL
2/15-2/17/2013
FOREVER PLAID has become a huge hit around the world and a favorite among audiences everywhere. Community Theatres have come to love the four-character show that is easy to produce and always elicits a great audience response. Now for High Schools and Glee Clubs comes a show that manages to be old and new all at the same time THE SOUND OF PLAID. Building upon the characters and songs from FOREVER PLAID, THE SOUND OF PLAID features a flexible cast size made up of both male and female performers.The premise of THE SOUND OF PLAID is similar to FOREVER PLAID: In 1960's America, friends who met in the audiovisual club form a student choral group. When they discover that their high school music program was going to be cut from the curriculum, they decide to do a benefit to raise money. On the way to pick up their custom made plaid tuxedos and skirts, their bus is struck by lightning. Although THE SOUND OF PLAID are taken from this planet, through the Power of Harmony and the Expanding Holes in the Ozone Layer (and other astro-technical stuff) they are allowed to come back to perform the show they never got to do in life.Featuring classic songs and warm funny characters, THE SOUND OF PLAID is a great new twist on a familiar favorite, and a perfect choice for a theatre looking to do a "big, little show."

THE PRODUCERS
NEW CANDLELIGHT DINNER THEATRE
1/25-3/21/2013
Bialystock and Bloom! Those names should strike terror and hysteria in anyone familiar with Mel Brooks' classic cult comedy film. Now as a big Broadway musical, THE PRODUCERS once again sets the standard for modern, outrageous, in-your-face humor. It is a truly "boffo" hit, winning a record twelve Tony Awards and wowing capacity crowds night after night. The plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive "Springtime For Hitler"), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends. With a truly hysterical book co-written by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan (ANNIE) and music and lyrics by Mr. Brooks , THE PRODUCERS skewers Broadway traditions and takes no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an "equal opportunity offender!"
