The audience is elevated to joyful chaos!  -- New York Post

Ludicrously enjoyable entertainment – The Daily Telegraph

Golden oldies pounded out the way they used to be --  NY Times

 

Between 1957 and 1959, one man changed popular music forever.  This is his story.  Join us for a rock and roll musical review with over 25 songs recreating the magic of Buddy Holly.   The incredible legacy of the young man with glasses, whose musical career spanned an all-to-brief period during the golden days of rock’ n’ roll.   Holly is described as "The single most influential creative force in early rock and roll."  

Years later in 1971 Don McLean released his single, "American Pie", to commemorate Buddy Holly's death and further accentuate the loss of the United States' innocence.  Don McLean's song began with the reference to the tragedy as "The Day the Music Died".

“Sure to be one of the most popular productions this summer and with darned good reason,” is what Virginia’s Tri-City News said this May when this show opened in Abingdon.  We think you’ll love it, too! Jason Petty has won critical acclaim all over the country for his surreal performance as country legend Hank Williams in the off-Broadway hit Hank Williams’ “Lost Highway". So much so that his performance racked up 5 nominations in New York’s award ceremonies for Best Actor. Now, this multi-talented singer/actor/musician is bringing his own tribute show out on the road backed by a swinging four-piece band, Hank Williams tribute artist Jason Petty.  This show will make you smile, make you cry,  and make you clap your hands and stomp your feet in excitement.  We will take you back in time to the beginnings of country music with one of its legends.   Combine that with a respectful telling of Williams’ tragic and to-short life story, and you’ll love country music – any music – more than ever.

Remember Me - Starring Joyce DeWitt

JOYCE-23

September 5 - October 7, 2012

Remember Me is a about a couple in their early fifties who have what appears to be a very comfortable marriage and a very good life.  They live in a gorgeous apartment, their children are grown and gone and they pride themselves on being the best of friends.  Though content, their marriage has grown tired. One morning while Brian is playing tennis their lives are turned upside down when Mary's college boyfriend, Peter, shows up...or does he?  Although Peter takes Mary in his arms, professes his undying love and devotion to her and begs her to forgive him for breaking her heart many years ago, he turns out to simply be Mary’s fantasy.  That doesn’t stop Brian from going into a jealous rage, even to the point of hiring an actress to play the role of his own fantasy, Tori, with the hope of making Mary jealous driving her back to her senses.  Things get even more complicated when the real Peter actually shows up. 


phantom

This mesmerizing Phantom transforms Gaston Leroux' The Phantom of the Opera into a mystery that enraptures audiences with beautiful songs and an expertly crafted book. Phantom goes behind the mask of the great opera ghost and exposes the mysteries of his passions. Where did the phantom come from? Why is he destined to haunt the opera? What makes his relationship with the young soprano Christine the romance to end all? Based on the 1910  novel “Phantom of the Opera”  Yeston and Kopits “Phantom” offers a different twist by beginning the story earlier in his life of  the phantom,  introducing his father into the plot as a character and other turns along the way.  This is a story about Christine, a street singer and Erik the Phantom, who eventually falls in love with her.
