On Golden Pond at the Cumberland County Playhouse

ON GOLDEN POND
by Ernest Thompson

Held Over Until July 15!
Adventure Theater

We share memories and family with "old poop" Norman and his amazing Ethel in their 48th summer together, on the lake near the camp where Ethel was a girl.

They welcome family visitors, including 13-year-old Billy, who coach Norman to "cruise chicks" and "talk jive." Rated PG for mildly salty live talk between teen and the "old poop."

The original, unmatched family gospel musical (with that one naughty word that ought not to be used in church!), returning for its 16th Playhouse year. Rated G (except for that one word!), so we guess it's PG unless folks forgive us in advance.

Hairspray

Hairspray

June 25 - August 30
Mainstage

Hairspray is great for groups and families, a hugely entertaining and funny musical romp, starring Jason Ross! It’s a big, fun summer show with lots of heart, and contagious songs that make you want to get up and dance, 50’s and ‘60’s-style!  A celebration of   “American Bandstand”-type  teenage TV dance shows, Hairspray features a chubby, cheerful Baltimore teen and her mother Edna—played by John Travolta in the recent hit Hairspray movie!  Jason Ross plays the wild Travolta role of mom Edna Turnblad, in a comedy explosion to bring down the house. Edna’s daughter Tracy and friends especially love to dance on TV when great-dancing black kids attend, and she helps that happen in ‘60’s Baltimore. Hairspray is big hair, big laughs, big music, and great dancing, with a score of sixtyish songs, and a starring role that puts a tubby Jason Ross in a wig, a dress and the spotlight! Don’t miss it!

Return to the Forbidden Planet
by Bob Carlton

July 30 - October 31
Mainstage

A Star Trek story with a Rock-n-Roll Heart! A smash hit for YEARS in London! Imagine Shakespeare's "The Tempest" as a 1956 "B" move set on a "forbidden planet" instead of a desert "isle." Add songs to fuel the liftoff of a starship and its crew of wannabe rockstars! Mix blank verse with dizzy Miranda singing "Teenager In Love," shake well with "Shake, Rattle & Roll," roast over "Great Balls of Fire" and serve with a side of "Monster Mash!" Culture? Refinement? Nooo! But galaxies of fuuuun! A "B" movie that's PG
