It was a Christmas VALENTINE for everyone! (especially the romantics at heart!)

Last summer, we did....

Conrad Birdie is the biggest rock & roll star of the
60's ever to be drafted. Aspiring English teachers and
song writer Albert is convinced he can make his fortune
and marry his girlfriend Rosie if he gets Conrad
on the Ed Sullivan show to kiss a high school girl
goodbye. Albert's mother will do anything to break
him up with Rosie. Kim and Hugo, the high school
steadies, live in Sweet Apple, Ohio where from the kiss will be broadcast.
The satire on American society is set in 1958. The story was inspired by the
phenomenon of popular singer Elvis Presley and his draft notice into the Army in
1957. The rock star character's name, "Conrad Birdie," is word play on the name of
Conway Twitty. Twitty is best remembered as a country music star, but before that,
in the late 1950s, he was one of Presley's rock 'n' roll rivals.
COMING THIS SUMMER!!!
Birdie show dates include Sundays and Fridays, July 10, 15, 17, 22, 24, 29, 31.
Dinner shows $32 adults, $30 seniors, $25 kids to age 12.

DIRECTED BY PAUL AND ANGIE LOWE

Mel Edison is an executive of a Manhattan firm which has suddenly hit the skids, and he gets the ax. His wife Edna takes a job to tide them over; soon, she too loses her job. Compounded by the air-pollution killing his plants, and with the walls of the apartment paper-thin, allowing him a constant earful of his neighbors' private lives, things can't seem to get any worse...but they do! Mel gets robbed and his psychiatrist kicks off with $23,000 of Mel's money. Mel does the only thing left for him to do-----he has a nervous breakdown.... and it's the best thing that ever happened to him...

His older brother Harry, together with his older sisters Pearl, Jessie, and Pauline come to his aid... well...almost.

Neil Simon has "a gift for taking a grave subject and, without losing sight of its basic seriousness, treating it with hearty but sympathetic humor...A talent for writing a wonderful funny line...full of humor and intelligence. "-New York Post

Neil Simon "creates an atmosphere of casual cataclysm, an everyday urban purgatory of copelessness from which laughter seems to be released like vapor from the city's manholes."-Time
