Cardinal Crossing featuring Greg Burroughs
August 21, 8pm
Producer - Wayne Dunn
Two singers, two dreams, two separate journeys the result is Cardinal Crossing. The group is comprised of Greg Burroughs, a lifelong Buckeyes fan and recent graduate of Berklee College of Music, and Chris Parker, an optimistic songwriter from Prescott, Arizona. "It's a country-rock-pop kind of thing, with new applications of traditional country instruments, like the mandolin, fiddle and banjo," explained Burroughs. Listeners will hear optimistic themes of new relationships, true love, renewed hope and youthful transition, throughout the collection of original material the band has written since forming in late 2008. Tickets are $10 pre-sale and $15 at the door. Here's a sampling of their music: Run Away and Tell Me Something Good.

Everybody Loves Opal
October 8-10 & 15-17
Directed by Jhon Marshall
Producer - Karen Oehler
Opal Kronkie, a middle-aged recluse, lives in a tumbledown mansion at the edge of the municipal dump. The general disarray of her establishment is aggravated by the fact that Opal collects things...anything that can be toted home in her little red wagon. Opal is also an optimist, for no matter how mean her lot or her "friends", Opal responds with unfailing kindness and an abiding faith in the goodness of human nature. Into her rather strange world comes Gloria, Bradford and Solomon -- three purveyers of bogus perfurme on the lam from the authorities. Opal's menage is the perfect hideout and Opal, herself, might be the remedy to their shattered finances. They decide that what she needs is plenty of insurance, a rapid demise, and three beneficiaries named Gloria, Bradford and Solomon. The unsavory trio concoct elaborate schemes in repeated failed attempts to bring their plan to fruition, with hilarious results!

March 11-13 & 18-20
Sponsored by Dunn Real Estate
Directed by Paula Whitaker
A 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. "He doesn't stand a chance," mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and-shut case—until one of the jurors begins opening the others' eyes to the facts. "This is a remarkable thing about democracy," says the foreign-born juror, "that we are notified by mail to come down to this place—and decide on the guilt or innocence of a man; of a man we have not known before. We have nothing to gain or lose by our verdict. We should not make it a personal thing." But personal it does become, with each juror revealing his or her own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted and a new murder threat is born before their eyes! Tempers get short, arguments grow heated. The jurors' final verdict and how they reach it add up to a fine, mature piece of dramatic literature. Sponsored by Dunn Real Estate Group.

She sets Joey up in an apartment where they can meet, and even builds a nightclub for him. Music includes the standards "I Could Write a Book" and "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered."
