CHRISTMAS CLASSICS… & OTHER COOL YULE!
Divine dessert theatre December 10-15, 2009
Atria Bell Court Garden’s Academy Hall Theatre
Tickets on sale November 1
Lots of Christmas goodies to delight the senses and get everyone in the Christmas Spirit including a Christmas musical revue spoof featuring Waypoint regulars as Santa (a la Beach Boys), soul legend James Brown, Elvis as Frosty, with “Donna and the Dynamos” singing Santa Baby. Comedic sketches include four actors racing through every Christmas classic ever written in three minutes flat; two reluctant shepherd boys in a pageant who duke it out; three singing magi consider the Macarena as a possible gift choice to the newborn King; angels spinning on a candlebra comically observe the ways people celebrate Christmas; figures of a public crèche scene come to life on Christmas Eve and attempt to discover who they are with the help of a drunken bag lady that is both comic and deeply moving. A generous helping of sweets, hot cocoa and coffee with Waypoint’s ever-popular singing serenades and audience carol sing is guaranteed good cheer for this Christmas Season! Preview December 9, 2009.
BARTHOLOMEW’S READING ADVENTURE
by Dr. Gillette Elvgren, Jr.
Tucson Festival of Books March 13-14, 2010
University of Arizona campus
Bart’s mom is frustrated with his lack of interest in reading. She’s tried everything. In desperation she takes Bart to the doctor—Doctor Seuss, who succeeds in motivating Bart to read a story. But if Bartholomew wants to find out what the ending is, he has to jump into the book and become a part of the story. This production does not use Seuss stories, but does re-create much of the rhyming and high energy zaniness humor that typifies Seuss’ stories. Through audience participation, Bartholomew learns about the various parts of a story, how they happen, and ultimately appreciates the written word.
In addition to the Festival, Waypoint will be touring this piece to low-income schools in March. Educational sponsor proposals are now being accepted for this education outreach opportunity that promotes reading literacy and love of reading.
THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL
by Horton Foote
April 29- May 9, 2010
Atria Bell Court Garden’s Academy Hall Theatre
Tickets on sale March 25
Carrie Watts yearns to escape her son and his wife’s stifling Houston apartment for one last return to her roots in Bountiful, Texas. Running away from her present life to fulfill her dream of returning home again, she finally arrives with insights that are both poignant and brilliantly life-affirming. Through laughter and tears, this Pulitzer prize-winning American playwright explores the inevitable need to assert independence and reawaken the memories of yesterday.
