Welcome to our 2007 - 2008 Theatrical Season at the Historic Woodstock Opera House!  WMTC presents a five production  season yearly in joint association with resident theatre company,  TownSquare Players, Inc. Announcing* our 2007 - 2008 Season *pending rights and availability
	Lend Me a Tenor By Ken Ludwig Produced in cooperation with Samuel French, Inc.   October 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 19, 20, 21, 26, 27, 2007   This night in September of 1934 is the biggest in the history of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. World famous tenor Tito Morelli is to perform Otello, his greatest role, at the gala season opener. Saunders, the General Manager, hopes this will put Cleveland on the operatic map. Morelli is late; when he finally sweeps in it is too late to rehearse with the company. Through a hilarious series of mishaps, Il Stupendo is given a double dose of tranquilizers which mix with the booze he has consumed and he passes out. His pulse is so low that Saunders and his assistant Max believe he is dead. What to do? Max is an aspiring singer and Saunders persuades him to get into Morelli’s Otello costume and try to fool the audience into thinking he’s Il Stupendo. Max succeeds admirably, but Morelli comes to and gets into his other costume. Now two Otellos are running around in costume and two women are running around in lingerie, each thinking she is with Il Stupendo! A sensation on Broadway and in London’s West End, Lend Me a Tenor is guaranteed to leave the audience teary-eyed with laughter.   “A jolly play” – NY Times.  “Non-stop laughter” – Variety.  “Uproarious!  Hysterical!” – USA Today.  “A rib-tickling comedy” – NY Post.  “Screamingly funny!”  CBS Radio

Mom and Pop have their hearts set on blue ribbons while their daughter and son find romance and heartbreak on the midway. Set to the magical strains of an Academy Award-winning score and augmented by other titles from the Rodgers and Hammerstein songbook, STATE FAIR is the kind of warm-hearted family entertainment only Rodgers & Hammerstein could deliver!

	Sabrina Fair By Samuel A. Taylor February 29, March 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 2008 A romantic comedy, set on the North Shore of Long Island approximately one hour from New York. The chauffeur’s beautiful and poised daughter is Sabrina Fairchild. She has a crush on the playboy son of the millionaire for whom her father works. The playboy’s serious-minded brother romances her in order to save the playboy’s relationship with his fiancée, and so help a corporate merger go through. This play is the basis for both the 1954 movie and the 1995 remake with Harrison Ford and Greg Kinnear.
	A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum Book by: Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart Music and Lyrics by: Stephen Sondheim Screenplay and Adaptation by: Adolph Green Based on the plays of Plautus April 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 2008 "Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!" Broadway’s greatest farce is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written – the perfect escape from life’s troubles. "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum" takes comedy back to its roots, combining situations from time-tested, 2000-year-old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville. The result is a non-stop laugh-fest in which a crafty slave (Pseudolus) struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted courtesan (Philia) for his young master (Hero), in exchange for freedom. With its unforgettable zany characters, a hysterical, perfectly constructed book by Larry Gelbart (of "MASH" and "City Of Angels" fame) and Burt Shevelove, and witty Stephen Sondheim songs, "Forum" allows a brilliant ensemble of comedic actors to shine. "It's funny, true nonsense! A merry good time!" - Herald Tribune. "A good, clean, dirty show! Brings back belly laughs!" –Time.
