SUMMARY:Marie and Rosetta
DESCRIPTION:Before Little Richard\, Johnny Cash\, and Jimi Hendrix\, Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s groundbreaking blend of gospel music\, swing rhythms and fierce electric guitar made her an unconventional music superstar in the 1930s and 40s. Acclaimed writer George Brant (“Grounded”) unearths the unsung roots of the fearless “Godmother of Rock ’n’ Roll” and her wide-eyed protégée Marie Knight\, as they begin their revolutionary ascent to become one of the most influential teams in music history. Starring Rep favorites Alexis J Roston (“Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill\,” “Nina Simone: Four Women”) and Bethany Thomas (“Ragtime\,” “Hedwig and the Angry Inch”) and featuring a rich mix of songs from the early days of rock ’n roll\, this magnetic play with music is a sure-fire can’t-miss show. \nBy George Brant\nDirected by E. Faye Butler \n

SUMMARY:Lumberjacks in Love
DESCRIPTION:A smash hit in Wisconsin and around the country\, “Lumberjacks in Love” is a hilarious show filled with up nort’ humor and fun-loving songs. From the creators of “Guys on Ice\,” this flannel-clad musical takes us to the Northwoods in 1912\, where a camp of burly lumberjacks revel in their bachelor lives as the only men in hundreds of miles — until a special delivery named Rose shows up and flips their lives around like a flapjack. Nothing is quite like it seems for these colorful characters as they search for friendship\, romance and truth in this irresistible\, light-hearted musical comedy. \nBook & Lyrics by Fred Alley\nMusic by James Kaplan\nStory by Fred Alley & James Kaplan\nDirected & Choreographed by Jeffrey Herbst \n

SUMMARY:Almost\, Maine
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Almost\, Maine\, a place that’s so far north\, it’s almost in Canada. It’s not quite a town\, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it almost doesn’t exist. One cold\, clear\, winter night\, as the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above\, the residents of Almost\, Maine\, find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. Knees may bruise and hearts may break\, but as magic fills the air\, the pieces finally fall into place – almost. \n
