2008
- Stand By Me
Our 25th anniversary production and, for
the first time, a show that spanned two weekends! Stand By Me was
an exploration of what it means to participate in Magic Moments, the
gifts and limits of both the disabled and the able bodied and how we all
stand together to realize our personal journey in life.

2007
- All This and
WWII
For the first time ever
we decided to "remake" a show, and what better show than our
most popular in recent history - "All This and World War II"
(2002 production). It seemed fitting, not only because of the fabulous
music of that era, but as a reflection on the similarity between
concerns for war and our soldiers then and now. This remake turned
out to be even more moving than the first - a truly
classic production!

2006
- Cactus Flats
This year's show
centers on a young woman whose dreams are shattered by a life-changing
event. On her way to stardom a tragic accident leaves her destined to
live the rest of her life wheelchair-bound. The movement of life around
her move her from despair, depression and bitterness with her
circumstance, and inspires the rebuilding of hope and the desire to
dream once again. Cactus Flats illustrates how the fire and humor of
life inspires all of us to overcome our own obstacles in life. Our
audience was treated to music from Garth Brooks, Sara Evans, Seussical,
Styx, and many more.

2005 -
Daze & Knights
Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never
ends. This is our 22nd production, each better and more fun
than the last. This year’s effort emphasized the fun aspect in
theatrical production. On a new twist, the set was made up of costumes! Designing these really challenged the crew.
We also blended reality and fantasy. The writers
initially expressed opinions and preferences for both sides, so we
decided to go with both.
The show starts in reality and
quickly devolves into Emily’s view of the world, ending back in
reality. Emily, our troubled teen, views her stepmother as very cold and
distant, a rival in life. School is the same as a war zone in Emily's
reality, but in her fantasy world she gets to have things her way, or so she
thinks. If she would but take the time and look, humor can be found in
most situations. Given a chance, most people are better and more
interesting in reality than in our imagination.

2004 -
Spirit & Soul
In
this production the cast took a revival
Road Show tour on roads
through the South, and found many people looking for and finding both music and
salvation, and ending in glorious Nashville and stardom.
Music from modern and classic song titles weaved a wonderful tapestry of how
even those who go astray can find support from those who always believe there is
good in everyone. A truly incredible show with many wonderful folks on stage.

2003 -
Magic
MoMart: A Store Story
In
this show we paid homage to the creative genius and musical gift
of Richard Rodgers in the 101st year since his birth.
Richard Rodgers' contributions to the musical theatre of his day were
extraordinary, and his influence on the musical theatre of today and tomorrow is
legendary. His career spanned more than six decades, and his hits ranged from
the silver screens of Hollywood to the bright lights of Broadway, London and
beyond. He was the recipient of countless awards, including Pulitzers, Tonys,
Oscars, Grammys and Emmys. He wrote more than 900 published songs, and forty
Broadway musicals.
Our 2003 production took place in contemporary America in a small rural
department store called Magic MoMart. If you missed this fantastic production,
you may be in luck! Contact us
about availability of the show on VHS or DVD.

amazing original production taking us back 60 years to the homefront during
those dramatic years of WWII. This sold-out production was our largest to date with

Way You Look Tonight, That Cat is High, Bugle Call Rag, It Don't Mean a Thing if
