September 2010 The Hallelujah Girls

Hilarity abounds when the feisty females of Eden Falls, Georgia, decide to shake up their lives. The action in this
rollicking Southern comedy takes place in SPA-DEE-DAH!, the abandoned church-turned-day-spa where this group of friends gathers
every Friday afternoon. After the loss of a dear friend, the women realize time is precious, and if they're going to change
their lives and achieve their dreams, they have to get on it now! But Sugar Lee, their high-spirited, determined leader, has
her hands full keeping the women motivated. Carlene's given up on romance, having buried three husbands. Nita's a
nervous wreck from running interference between her problematic son and his probation officer. Mavis' marriage is so stagnant
she's wondering how she can fake her own death to get out of it. And sweet, simple Crystal entertains them all, singing
Christmas carols with her own hilarious lyrics. The comic tension mounts when a sexy ex-boyfriend shows up unexpectedly, a
marriage proposal comes from an unlikely suitor and Sugar Lee's archrival vows she'll stop at nothing to steal the
spa away from her. By the time the women rally together to overcome these obstacles and launch their new, improved lives,
you've got a side-splitting, joyful comedy that will make you laugh out loud and shout "Hallelujah!"

The Wild, Wild, Wildest West

Yup,
pardners, here's a hilarious musical spoof of many of Hollywood's Westerns. Slick and wealthy Richard
Coldheart ("Oh, that's Rich!") must marry Polly Wanda Cracker to control the Cracker property. However,
it's Polly's homely sister, Prunella, who wants to marry him! Meanwhile, our hero, Sheriff Wayne John, has his
hands full surviving the hilarious antics of well-meaning but not-too-bright Deputy Doowrong. When a bundle of villains,
including Snydley Dastardly, Kid Kid and Calamity Jan, attempts to take over Low Humidity Chasm (Aren't you sick and tired
of Westerns taking place in Dry Gulch Canyon?), things really go crazy! Pay close attention to whether Schizophrenic
Kid is wearing his white hat or his black hat so you’ll know whether to cheer or boo. With a narrator to
keep the characters on stage in line, this wild and wooly Western will bring down the house! You'll be whistling
to a wide array of Western tunes, such as the lively bluegrass "Wild, Woolly an' Full o' Fleas," the rockabilly
"Citizens of Evil" and the lovely ballad, "It's Always Darkest Before the Dawn."
