“ALL ABOARD WESTCLIFFE”

An original musical comedy by Anne Kimbell With music by David Lewis and the Westcliffe Musicians

All Aboard Westcliffe celebrates the coming of the narrow gauge railway to Westcliffe in the 1800s. It includes a cast of notable characters, some imaginary and some drawn from the history of the town.

The lilting original music by David Lewis is augmented with familiar western songs chosen by director Steve Miller and performed by talented local musicians. It promises to be a not-to-missed-evening.

“MEASURE FOR MEASURE”

by William Shakespeare

Shakespeare’s dark comedy Measure for Measure takes us from the halls of power to the intimate confines of the bedroom and from the convent to the executioner’s block. It is a bracing and bawdy glimpse of power raging unchecked.

The play deals with the issues of mercy, justice, and truth and their relationship to pride and humility: "Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall".

“THE LADY’S NOT FOR BURNING”

By Christopher Fry

"The Lady’s Not for Burning" is set in the middle ages and the action is put into motion by three main plots: Nicholas Devize is trying to steal his brother Humphrey’s fiancé, Alizon Elliot.

 Thomas Mendip shows up at the house of the Mayor , claims to be the devil and demands to be hanged; and Jennet Jourdemayne arrives at the mayor’s house at the same time, fleeing a mob that is accusing her of witchcraft.

The plot is a web of subplots that work their way through several hilarious misunderstandings and changes of heart toward a conclusion that is unpredictable and very funny.

"RED, WHITE AND TUNA"

A comedy by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears and Ed Howard

The play, set in a backwoods Texan town called Tuna, covers one Fourth of July and the shenanigans of the Tuna residents who are, to put it mildly, bizarre.

Every boot-stomping, truck-driving, Confederate-flag waving, chicken-fried cliché gets a thorough airing, all amped to farcical effect.
