The 1950’s are out and change is in the air! HAIRSPRAY, winner of 8 Tony Awards including Best Musical, is a family-friendly musical piled bouffant high with laughter, romance, and deliriously tuneful songs. It’s 1962 in Baltimore, and the lovable plus-size teen Tracy Turnblad has only one desire — to dance on the popular Corny Collins Show. When her dream comes true, Tracy is transformed from social outcast to sudden star. She must use her newfound power to dethrone the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob Link Larkin, and integrate a TV network, all without denting her ‘do!

Talented playwright Larry Shue’s career was cut short by his tragic death in a plane crash in 1985. He left behind two popular comedies, “The Foreigner” and “The Nerd”. Due to last season’s enthusiastic reaction to “The Foreigner”, we will be presenting his equally riotous, “The Nerd”. One of the funniest plays ever written, this extraordinarily inventive, side-splitting comedy was first presented by the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre, produced in Great Britain, then went on to Broadway. The action centers on the hilarious dilemma of a young architect who is visited by a man he’s never met but who saved his life in Vietnam—the visitor turning out to be an incredibly inept, hopelessly stupid “nerd” who outstays his welcome with a vengeance. Be prepared for an evening of glee and unmitigated fun.

“Some Enchanted Evening”
A Musical Revue
of songs by Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein

More so than any composer and lyricist who have written for the stage, the songs of Rodgers & Hammerstein have become an integral part of our everyday lives. We sing them in the shower, we dance to them in ballrooms and we hear them on the radio and in clubs and, yes, in elevators and supermarkets too. We still thrill to them on the live stage in their respective shows. This stunning collection of compositions will be performed by veterans of the Macon Little Theatre stage who have appeared in many past MLT productions. While offering the performers an opportunity to explore the songs within their own styles and sensibilities, it offers the audience a glorious parade of genuine hits.

Due to illness in the cast, Macon Little Theatre’s production of “Foxfire” will change its run to February 6 – 10. The previously planned opening weekend has been canceled and opening night is now Wednesday, February 6. There will be one Sunday matinee on February 10. Tickets will go on sale Monday, January 28. Don’t wait to get your tickets for this limited run. Call 471-PLAY or 477-3324 for reservations. Box office hours are 1 – 6 PM.
