The title, Making God Laugh, refers to a line by Woody Allen:  “If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.”  In this new comedy by Sean Grennan, you can go home again, but are you sure it’s a good idea?  Empty nesters, welcome home their children over family holidays spanning three decades.

As the parents and grown children adapt to their new relationships, their dreams, unresolved issues, old family traditions and dubious recipes are trotted out on Thanksgiving, New Year’s and Christmas holidays.  You will find that home is not only where the heart is, but also where the laughs are.

July 12 to August 19, 2012

Little Shop of Horrors has made audiences scream with laughter for years.  In this gleefully gruesome musical spoof of the 1950’s sci-fi movies, Seymour, a skid row floral assistant, allows his craving for fame and fortune to seduce him into playing nursemaid to an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood.  The growing plant’s demand for more, more, MORE are accompanied by witty parodies of sixties music.

Between bites, Audrey II, named after Seymour’s secret love, grows into an ill-tempered carnivore who brings down the house singing rhythm and blues.  This award-winning monster musical is a guaranteed good time.

This brand new show offers the best of Forever Plaid, the smash hit musical about the famous singing group The Plaids.  It’s tied up in a nifty package with a big Christmas bow on top.  These tuneful holiday standards have all been “Plaid-erized”, as our boys are back to do their first Christmas special.  They’ve been summoned by a heavenly Rosemary Clooney to put a little harmony into a discordant world.  Sprinkled among the presents are their riotous version of The Ed Sullivan Show, featuring the Rockettes, The Chipmunks, and The Vienna Boys Choir; and a Plaid Caribbean Christmas.  This is one holiday treat that is truly “heaven-sent” and perfect for the whole family.
