Love Song
a
romantic comedy by John Kolvenbach
A 2007
Olivier Award nominee for Best New Comedy that premiered at Chicago's famed
Steppenwolf Theatre in 2006. Beane is an exile from life -- an oddball. His
well-meaning sister and brother-in-law try to make time for him, but no one
seems to get through. Following a burglary at Beane's apartment, he turns
blissfully happy. Baffled, his sister must try to unravel the story behind his
mysterious new love, Molly. This offbeat comedy becomes a rhapsody to the power
of love in all its forms.

All My Sons
a drama by Arthur Miller
Joe Keller's
company manufactures engine parts for the Air Force. A shipment of faulty parts
has resulted in the deaths of 21 pilots. Joe's oldest son, Larry, a pilot, is
missing and presumed dead. Joe's younger son, Chris, is determined to set the
truth free at all costs. Winner of the Drama Critics Award for Best New Play in
1947, ALL MY SONS established Arthur Miller as a leading voice in the American
theater, and introduced themes that tread through his work as a whole; the
relationships between fathers and sons and the conflict between business and
personal ethics.
There will be a daytime student matinee of this classic play on Friday, April
9th at 10:30 a.m. To book a school group, please contact the Carpenter Square
Theatre business office: (405) 232-6500.)

Fugue
a drama by
Lee Thuna
A woman is
found wandering the streets of Chicago, her feet blistered and bloodied. The
doctors recognize this as a symptom of the "fugue" state of amnesia, where the
victim is literally running away from an intolerable memory. The young
psychiatrist assigned to her case is running away from his own demons -- a
mistake he made with a patient early in his career. The closer he gets to
piecing together the puzzle of the woman's life, the more she longs to run. If
she remembers the terrible occurrence that sent her running, will he be
repeating the mistake he made before? Winner of the American Theatre Critics
Circle Award for Best Play in Regional Theatre.

Reefer
Madness
music
by Dan Studney, book & lyrics by Kevin Murphy
"Meant to be
a serious documentary on how the demon weed turns apple-cheeked American teens
into hollow-eyed homicidal zombies, the movie's unintentional humor made it a
midnight movie staple on college campuses in the '60s. But while the move is so
glaringly bad, the Off-Broadway musical of REEFER MADNESS...is deliberately
outlandish and silly. And that's what makes it so good. [The show includes] a
dozen or so over-the-top and hilarious production numbers." -- NY Daily News
Though set in
1936, the year of the film's release, REEFER MADNESS incorporates musical styles
ranging from jazz and doo-wop to rock and disco, and it provides characters that
are accessible to young audiences even as they parody old-fashioned stereotypes.
