OZ!
Book by Tim Kelly. Music and lyrics by Bill Francoeur.
A dazzling musical based on the beloved characters of the Frank L. Baum timeless tale. A cyclone carries Dorothy and Toto to the magical Land of Oz. When Dorothy's house squashes the Wicked Witch of the East, she is thanked with song and dance by the colorful, liberated Munchkins. Glenda, the Good Witch, gives Dorothy permission to wear the witch's powerful silver slippers. From there, Baum's lovable characters, rubber-legged Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion and Tin Woodsman, join Dorothy on a journey to meet the great Oz. While on the yellow paved road, they battle the Wicked Witch of the West, who is determined to get revenge for the death of her sister and get the silver slippers away from Dorothy. Can the fearless foursome and Toto survive the exciting journey where they also encounter the fighting trees, enchanted poppies and more? With an upbeat score, fun costumes and a classic story line this is a delightful show for all ages!

The Odd Couple, (Female Version)
By Neil Simon
Comedy Rated PG-13
A remake of Neil Simon's long-running Broadway comedy, The Odd Couple centers around two divorced woman who decide to live together to save on expenses and decrease the loneliness, but can't stand each other's habits. Simon himself updated the script in the mid '80s to an all female version starring Rita Moreno and Sally Struthers in the Madison/Unger roles. Neil Simon's famous update of his contemporary classic starts with a group of women friends playing their regular game of Trivial Pursuit. This week, the coterie is meeting at the apartment of Olive Madison, a divorcee who freely admits to being a slob: "I leave a mess when I read a book." Arriving later, is Florence Unger, a neat freak who would try the patience of a saint, and who has unfortunately just become separated from her husband. As life would have it, the slob and the fuss-budget decide to room together -- with hilarious results! Within only a few days, Florence's obsessive habits start taking their toll on Olive and their friends. The only remedy Olive can think of (a pair of brothers from Barcelona) disastrously backfires, and the two women are forced to agree on one thing -- even the best of friends sometimes make the worst of roommates.
Earlene Rainey will play the role of Florence Unger.
