July 2006

The Evergreen Players celebrate the summer with the delightful, family musical "A Year with Frog and Toad", a Broadway success that earned 2004 Tony nominations for best musical, best book, and best original score. *PLEASE NOTE: The last three Saturday performances - July 22, July 29, and August 5 - will now be at 4:30 pm, instead of 7:30pm. Arnold Lobel's well-loved characters hop from the page to the stage in Robert and Willie Reale's musical "A Year With Frog And Toad". Conceived by Mr. Lobel's daughter, Adrianne Lobel, "A Year With Frog And Toad" remains true to the spirit of the original stories as it follows two great friends, the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad through four fun-filled seasons.

Ever since its debut on stage in New York in 1991, Scott McPherson's Marvin's Room has won universal acclaim for its refreshing take on the power of love, the meaning of family and the value of caring during the deepest struggles of life and illness. This hilarious and heartwarming expression of humor over despair, loving kindness over recrimination, and the simple joy of innocence over cynicism is a story about the years that keep us apart and the moments that bring us together. McPherson's insight was enhanced by his own experiences taking care of his lover, who was dying of AIDS, and his own subsequent positive diagnosis. Ultimately, McPherson and his lover succumbed to AIDS, but Marvin's Room remains behind as a testament, in McPherson's own words, 'to the power of giving yourself to someone else.'

Sabrina Fair is a modern version of the Cinderella fable - with a twist. It involves a very rich family named Larrabee and Sabrina Fairchild, the daughter of the family chauffeur. Sabrina is bright, well-educated, and has just returned from five years in Paris. Sabrina has come home to find out if she is still in love with the younger Larrabee son, David. The elder son, Linus, a cynical, good-humored tycoon who has taken control of the family fortune, detects Sabrina's feeling for his brother, and for his own amusement lays a trap to bring them together. It works: David falls in love with Sabrina and wants to marry her. At the same time, a rich young Frenchman who has known Sabrina in Paris turns up and asks her to marry him. Three guys, one gal...who wins???

From the author of Dial 'M' for Murder comes one of the most famous thrillers of our time. The New York Post called it "a first-rate shocker!" One thing stands between three dangerous con men and a fortune hidden inside a child's doll: A blind woman named Susy Hendrix. What seems like an easy day's work quickly turns into a gripping game of cat and mouse as the trio lead her on a dangerous path of deceit and murder. What they didn't count on is that Susy has a game of her own as she turns her disability into her greatest weapon.

July 2005

From the duo that gave us "Ragtime the Musical" and "Suessical" comes a zany, offbeat musical along the lines of "Weekend at Bernie's." Harry Witherspoon stands to inherit $6 million from his late murdered uncle but first he must take the corpse on a weeklong trip to Monte Carlo.

October 2004

Bullshot Crummond is a parody of 1930's low-budget "B" Detective Movies. A blend of Austin Powers, Monty Python, Maxwell Smart, and Rocky and Bullwinkle, this madcap mystery follows British super-sleuth Bullshot Crummond as he attempts to foil the evil doings of Otto Von Brunno - the second most dangerous man in Europe - and his evil girlfriend, Lenya. Thrills, twists and bumbling turns lead the audience down the path of truth, justice, and the romantic way.

An 11-year-old orphan comes to live with her reclusive uncle in Yorkshire where she discovers a magic locked garden. This version of the beloved children's book enchants audiences of all ages and features some of the most beautiful music ever written for a Broadway show. It "revels in the imagination [and] achieves the irresistible appeal that moves audiences to standing ovations," writes the Christian Science Monitor.

April 2004

Evergreen Players presents the world premiere of a musical based on Carolyn Evans Campbell's book, "Soiled Doves of Colorado and the West." Through a collage of poems, monologues, ballads and songs we glimpse the lives of the "lusty ladies," those disreputable, yet colorful women who helped tame the West.

March 2004

Not just another story about a man and his dog, this romantic comedy considers the plight of Greg, a guy with a ho-hum job and a wife more interested in her career than him. When Greg finds a dog named Sylvia abandoned in the park and brings her home, this canine companion becomes a bone of contention between husband and wife. "Gurney's mad comedy is the most endearing good time to trot down the pike in many a moon," writes the critic for Backstage. "Howlingly funny."
