Trustus Theatre
Columbia

Southern Baptist Sissies
Directed by Dewey Scott-Wiley
June 20 – July 26, 2008

You won’t be able to resist the spoofy fun of Reefer Madness. Inspired by the original 1936 film of the same name, this raucous musical comedy takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the hysteria caused when clean-cut kids fall prey to marijuana, leading them on a hysterical downward spiral filled with evil jazz music, sex and violence.

Disney’s High School Musical
A Non-Season Special Event

Directed by Walter Graham
June 27 – July 19, 2008
Sponsored by: Don Alcorn

With a plot described by the author and numerous critics as a modern adaptation of Romeo & Juliet, High School Musical is a story about two high school juniors from rival cliques: Troy Bolton, captain of the basketball team, and Gabriella Montez, a beautiful and shy transfer student who excels in math and science. Together, they try out for the lead parts in their high school musical, and as a result, divide the school. Despite other students' attempts to thwart their dreams, Troy and Gabriella resist peer pressure and rivalry, inspiring others along the way not to "stick with the status quo."

Don't miss Town Theatre's summer sensation of a show. Join us as we celebrate song and dance - from Broadway to the beach, country to the classics, pop to patriotic, and much, much more. We’ll journey down memory lane with classics tried and true, showcase the talent of the Midlands and celebrate Town’s future as we present musical moments not yet seen on a Columbia stage.

Popular musical selections from Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Hairspray, Spamalot, and Les Miserables will be featured alongside tunes that sweep us back to days spent along South Carolina’s coast. We’ll pay tribute to the standards from the Great American Songbook as well as to some Broadway classics that speak of Town’s successful history in musical theatre. Celebrate!

$18 for adults, $15 for seniors over 65/active military/full time college, and $12 for youth under 18. Call 799-2510 for more information.

The Flowertown Players
Summerville

INTO THE WOODS

Music & lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
book by James Lapine
Directed by Sean Lakey
August 1, & 2, 7- 10, 14 - 17
at the James F. Dean Community Theatre
           133 S. Main Street, Summerville

The first act is all about how Mrs. and Mr. Baker go about collecting potion ingredients so the witch can reverse all the bad stuff that's happened in certain fairy tales. The items come from Cinderella, Jack (of not yet Giant Killer fame), Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel respectively. At the intermission, Cinderella has gone to the ball with the predictable result while Rapunzel and her objet d'amour are "heavy at it." Jack offs the giant while swiping the loudmouthed harp of gold, Granny and Red are freed from the wolf's stomach, and the Witch turns beautiful once more. And the music, of course, is Sondheim.

Happily ever after? Not on your keister! The second act reveals how all the characters learn that their actions have consequences, some of them deadly.

It's summer and too hot in Charleston, and "e'en Col. Gawd goe t' Summerville t' git awee fom de malaria fever, ini?" So why don't you?

Box office hours are 10AM-4PM Monday - Friday. Call (843) 875-9251.
