The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940
|
|
by John Bishop
|
|
THE MUSICAL COMEDY MURDERS OF 1940 is not your typical murder mystery. Sure, the show starts off with a heinous murder by an unknown assailant. But then there are lots of hilarious jokes and funny one-liners. (And yes, there is a song.) Soon the guests arrive and you’ll discover this isn't your average party. All that and a sidekick who turns out to be a hero! This production is entertainment at its best. This show will keep you laughing and will make you smile all the way home.

It’s the 1930's. Annie is a fiery young orphan girl who must live in a miserable orphanage run by the tyrannical Miss Hannigan. Her hopeless situation changes when she spends a short time at the residence of the wealthy Oliver Warbucks. She charms the hearts of the household staff and even the cold-hearted Warbucks cannot help but learn to love this wonderful girl. He decides to help Annie find her parents by offering a reward if they come to him and prove their identity. Miss Hannigan, her evil brother, Rooster, and a female accomplice plan to get the reward, which put Annie in great danger. You’ll be thinking “Tomorrow”, “It’s a hard-knock life” and all the other great songs for days! Likely to sell out! Bring your family to see Annie and Sandy!

Young Helen Keller, blind, deaf, and mute since infancy, is frustrated and violent. Her parents seek help from "half-blind Yankee schoolgirl" Annie Sullivan to tutor their daughter. Annie is determined to unlock Helen’s potential, if only she can reach her. Through persistence, love, and sheer stubbornness, Annie breaks through and teaches Helen to communicate, bringing her into the world at last.
Based on the remarkable and heart-wrenching true story, this inspiring and unforgettable play will move you and renew your belief that there is ample hope and goodness left in the world.

Watch the hilarious Little Sisters of Hoboken display their divine talents in a zany benefit revue. In an effort to raise money for their fallen Sisters--unfortunate victims of a convent cooking accident--Mother Superior and her order of eccentric and endearing nuns show the lighter side of being Catholic. With riotous dance numbers, show-stopping songs and side-splitting wit, you'll swear the music and comedy of Nunsense was heaven-sent!

Millionaire Brock has big business dealings in Washington DC. When his lovely but ignorant mistress Billie Dawn starts to become a political embarrassment, he hires a journalist to take on the job of educating her.
