It's the sixties and the only person in NY who isn't swinging is neurotic Allan Felix. When his wife leaves him for being too boring, Allan sets out to find the women of his dreams.

June 30 -July 12 The Summer Theatre - Meredith Village
GREASE!
Here is Rydell High's senior class of 1959; duck-tailed, hot-rodding "Burger Palace Boys" and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking "Pink Ladies" in bobby sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950s in this rollicking musical. Head "greaser" Danny Zuko and new (good) girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their "Summer Nights" as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through such songs as Greased Lightnin', It's Raining on Prom Night, Alone at the Drive-In Movie recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation. An 8-year run on Broadway and two subsequent revivals place Grease among the world's most popular musicals.

14 - 26 The
Summer Theatre - Meredith Village THE SOUND OF
MUSIC!
The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to
become the world's most beloved musical. When a postulant proves too
high-spirited for the religious life, she is dispatched to serve as
governess for the seven children of a widowed naval Captain. Her growing
rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit,
gradually captures the heart of the stern Captain, and they marry. Upon
returning from their honeymoon they discover that Austria has been
invaded by the Nazis, who demand the Captain's immediate service in
their navy. The family's narrow escape over the mountains to Switzerland
on the eve of World War II provides one of the most thrilling and
inspirational finales ever presented in the theatre. The motion picture
version remains the most popular movie musical of all time.

CATS
Based on the universally popular poetry of T.S. Eliot, Cats tells the story, in song and dance, of the annual gathering of Jellicle cats at which time one special cat is selected to ascend to the Heaviside layer. A true musical theatre phenomenon, Cats opened at London's New London Theatre on May 11, 1981 and ran for a record-setting 21 years. Cat's London success was nearly matched on Broadway where it ran at the Wintergarden Theatre for just over 18 years. Filled with stupendous songs ("Memory") and thrilling dancing, people young and old will be blown by this musical extravaganza!

romance, tender farce, and a shot of history for good measure. Taylor

turbulent times?

Wright Museum of World War II - Wolfeboro
Lecture - James J. Kimble, Seton Hall University
During WWII, the Office of Civilian Defense mounted an ambitious home front campaign intended to get Americans to make sacrifices in support of the war effort. One of the more graphic elements of the campaign depicted dead or dying soldiers, intended as a way for those back home to keep the privations they were asked to endure in the larger context of the sacrifices that Americans were making on the frontlines.(603) 569-1212 Website:
