Death and Taxes
April 7-10, 14-16, 2011
Ever wonder what goes on at a small-town city council meeting? In Hendricks, they’re looking for a murderer. The mayor announces that the meeting will be more like a coroner’s jury than the usual round of arguments. Not only has a man been murdered, but he was an IRS employee. Slowly it becomes apparent that the entire city council had seen the man, and everyone seems to be hiding something. Who murdered the stranger? Was it the sheriff, the newspaper editor, the town doctor, the nosy neighbor, the mayor, the high school drama teacher or a whole host of off-the-wall small-town characters? Maybe you can figure it out.
Always…Patsy Cline
June 16-19, 23-25, 2011
Always…Patsy Cline is based on the true story of Patsy Cline’s friendship with Houston housewife Louise Seger. Having first heard Cline on the “Arthur Godfrey Show” in 1957, Seger became an immediate and avid fan of Cline’s and she constantly hounded the local disc jockey to play Cline’s records on the radio. In 1961 when Cline went to Houston for a show, Seger and her buddies arrived about an hour-and-a-half early and, by coincidence, met Cline who was traveling alone. The two women struck up a friendship that was to culminate in Cline spending the night at Seger’s house–a friendship that lasted until Cline’s untimely death in a plane crash in 1963. The show combines humor, sadness and reality. It offers fans who remember Cline while she was alive a chance to look back, while giving new fans an idea of what seeing her was like and what she meant to her original fans.
