We are excited to call this wonderful facility home. Upcoming production....... Grandma Rodger's Neighborhood by Robert L. Douglas Music & Lyrics by Chris Knight & Earl Wright Jr. Ella Rogers has called her neighborhood home for over fifty years. She knows everyone who has ever lived on her street. She knows all the parents, all the children and all the grandchildren. She knows their stories, their good times and bad-their celebrations and their secrets. They know her as Grandma Rogers. In some way or another, she has been a part of all the lives that have called her street home over the past fifty years. Now, as she celebrates her 90th birthday, a heartless event causes some of those lives to reappear. What unfolds are old feelings, old attitudes, unresolved conflicts, and buried secrets that only Grandma Rogers, in all of her infinite wisdom, can rectify. Grandma Rogers’ Neighborhood is a play about fulfilling God’s purpose for your life. It is about reconciliation, family love, forgiveness and acceptance. Emotions run high and low in this warm musical drama that will have you trying to figure it all out as the play unfolds. The music is wonderful and Grandma Rogers is a pure joy. You’ll love Grandma Rogers’ Neighborhood. Performance Dates: May 1, 2, 3, 2009 Auditions for Grandma Rodger's Neighborhood By Appointment Only! |
