The Circle Bar B Dinner Theatre 2007 Season April 13th-May 20th Crimes of the Heart ; by Beth Henley; Directed by Jennifer Shepard Winner of the 1981 Pulitzer Prize and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award. In Hazlehurst, Mississippi, the three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of the family patriarch, their grandfather, who is living out his last hours in the local hospital. Lenny, the oldest sister, is unmarried at thirty and facing diminishing marital prospects; Meg, the middle sister, is back after a failed singing career on the West Coast; while Babe, the youngest, is out on bail after having shot her husband in the stomach. Their troubles are highlighted by their priggish cousin, Chick, the local doctor (and town drunk) and a young lawyer assigned to Babe’s case.. In the end the young characters have escaped the past to seize the future while the telling is so true and touching and consistently hilarious that it will linger in the mind long after the curtain has descended. June 1st-July 15th Don’t Mention My Name; by Fred Carmichael This award winning playwright asks what you would do if you suffered temporary amnesia and stumbled into a bed and breakfast off season only to find you were expected for the week end. That is what happens to the leading man in this delightful comedy. The attractive real estate lady calls him by one name; the housekeeper by another. Several other guests of the inn are convinced he has many identities. As the amnesiac and the real estate lady band together to solve the mystery, it develops that people are not who they seem. The plot becomes more and more hilarious until all questions are answered.. This combination of intriguing laughter, romance and mystery provides a delightful evening July 27th – Sept. 9th Pump Boys and Dinettes; by John Foley, Mark Hardwick, Debra Monk, Cass Morgan, John Schimmel and Jim Wann. The pump boys sell high octane on Highway 57 somewhere in the south and the dinettes, Prudie and Rhetta Cupp, run the Double Cupp diner next door. Together they fashion an evening of country western songs that received unanimous raves on and off Broadway. They perform on guitars, piano, bass and, yes, kitchen utensils .An high octane evening of song, dance, laughter and fun. Sept. 21st – Nov. 4th I Hate Hamlet; by Paul Rudnick Directed by Jim Cook A young and successful television actor relocates to New York, where he rents a marvelous, gothic apartment. With his television career in limbo, the actor is offered the opportunity to play Hamlet onstage, but there’s one problem: He hates Hamlet. His dilemma deepens with the entrance of John Barrymore’s ghost, who arrives intoxicated and in full costume to the apartment that once was his. The contrast between the two actors, the towering, dissipated Barrymore whose Hamlet was the greatest of his time, and Andrew Rally, hot young television star, leads to a wildly funny duel over women, art, success, duty, television, and yes, the apartment..
