Comedy.  It’s 1942, and the leading men of the Oberon Play House are fighting overseas.  At home, a band of passionate performers, united in desire (if not actual theater experience), rally together with their battle cry of  “The Show Must Go On!” They are determined to produce the Oberon’s season opener with an ambitious all-female Shakespearean production. Will their production be a victory for the home front or an epic failure? A  moving story about what happens when we all join together.

The couples scramble to “get the story straight,” before the other guests arrive. As they do every single thing possible to conceal everything, confusion and misunderstanding spin into comic hilarity.

Musical. A sentimental favorite, Singin’ in the Rain has all the makings of a Tinseltown tabloid headline. The starlet, Lina Lamon, and her leading man, Don Lockwood, are the hottest item on the silent screen.  Now the studio wants them to do “talking pictures.” Lina’s squeaky voice might be the end of their careers without the help of a talented young actress to do the talking and singing for her. In the process, one of the greatest musicals of the silver screen is born.
