Announce 64th Season! Hudson’s
Community Theater Announces Schedule for 2008-09. Season Tickets Now Available! The Hudson Players, have
announced their 64th season and it promises something for everyone.
Beginning with a great mystery-comedy that’s sure to amuse and confuse,
continuing with a flashback never before seen double-header of a musical and
then finishing with a classic, fun, favorite, musical comedy, Hudson’s
long running community theater troupe promises not to disappoint audiences with
their exciting 2008-09 season. (Season Tickets are currently available at
www.hudsonplayers.com) It begins with ACCOMPLICE
by Rupert Holmes. This twisty, sure to fool and amuse mystery-comedy will
be presented November 7, 8, 14, 15, 21 & 22 and will be directed by Claudia
Lillibridge and produced by Marianne Karlson. Auditions to be held September 14
& 15 at the Barlow Community Center at 7 p.m. Not recommended for children,
this mystery of a mystery takes place on a rainy night and features love, lust,
jealousy, greed and revenge. ACCOMPLICE will keep you guessing who is killing
whom? For whom? And who is whom anyway? This audacious twist on the twisted
mystery plot is a plot within a plot within a play within a plot. Or is
it a play within a plot with a plot within a play…or is it…simply
too much fun? Theater goers are encouraged to just give up guessing and enjoy
the wickedly funny ride. Following this will be the
back to back, fun 50’s musical journey that is THE TAFFETAS and THE
CARDIGANS (director still to be determined). Presented February 6, 7, 13, 14,
20, 21, 22, 27 & 28 and written by Rick Lewis, these two popular musicals
are being assembled together as a single evening’s entertainment for the
first time ever! (Auditions to be held November 16 & 17.) Join Kaye, Peggy,
Cheryl and Donna, four singing sisters from Muncie, Indiana as they reminisce
about making their national television singing debut. THE TAFFETAS pay tribute
to the sounds of The McGuire Sisters, The Fontane Sisters and The Chordettes.
Opening Off-Broadway almost two years before "Forever Plaid," THE
TAFFETAS prove to be an irresistible evening and remind you what Sunday night
television was like in black and white! They then introduce THE CARDIGANS, who
hail from Wooster, Ohio - the College of Wooster, to be exact! Join the boys as
they reminisce about their college days, their ex-girlfriends, their childhoods
as sons of Protestant ministers, and their fame as singing idols. They'll sing
some of the greatest hits of the 1950's – songs you know and love and
that they recorded on their first album, "Wooster in my Heart."
THE CARDIGANS is music, fun and harmony. Winner of the 1990 New York Bistro
Award For Outstanding Musical Revue!
