Kean
Share
With a score by Kismet and Grand Hotel's Robert Wright and George Forrest, and a libretto from Peter Stone (1776), Kean is every bit as colossal as the actor upon whom its based.
Sir Edmund Kean is the premiere Shakespearean actor of eighteenth-century London. Typically found drunk and/or womanizing, Kean finds himself at the center of a dangerous love pentagon, including royal blood. Often finding his foot in his mouth if it isn't filled by the words of the Bard, Kean faces imprisonment should he not publicly apologize for the offense that he has caused His Highness; but, as the curtain falls on Sir Edmund, it is his resounding insecurities and inability to distinguish himself from the characters that he plays that comes to the footlights.
If a theatre company has a talent pool of strong singers, a team of visionary creatives and an audience with an appetite for singular musicals, Kean is the perfect piece to produce. It masterfully balances comedic genius with dramatic brilliance and offers legions of opportunities to feature various performers, including jugglers, acrobats and dancers.

The Red Velvet Cake War by Jones Hope Wooten In this riotously funny Southern-fried comedy, the three Verdeen cousins - Gaynelle, Peaches, and Jimmie Wyvette - could not have picked a worse time to throw their family reunion. Their outrageous antics have set tongues wagging in the small town of Sweetgum (just down the road from Fayro) and the eyes of Texas are upon them, as their self-righteous Aunt LaMerle is quick to point out. Having "accidentally" crashed her minivan through the bedroom wall of her husband's girlfriend's doublewide, Gaynelle is one frazzled nerve away from a spectacular meltdown. Peaches, the saucy number one mortuarial cosmetologist in the tri-county area, is struggling to decide if it's time to have her long-absent trucker husband declared dead. And Jimmie Wyvette, the roughhewn store manager of Whatley's Western Wear, is resorting to extreme measures to outmaneuver a priss-pot neighbor for the affections of Sweetgum's newest widower. But the cousins can't back out of the reunion now. It's on and Gaynelle's hosting it; Peaches and Jimmie Wyvette have decided its success is the perfect way to prove Gaynelle's sanity to a skeptical court-appointed psychologist. Unfortunately, they face an uphill battle as a parade of wildly eccentric Verdeens gathers on the hottest day of July, smack-dab in the middle of Texas tornado season. Things spin hilariously out of control when a neighbor's pet devours everything edible, a one-eyed suitor shows up to declare his love and a shocking high-stakes wager is made on who bakes the best red velvet cake. As this fast-paced uproarious romp barrels toward its surprising climax, you'll wish your own family reunion was this much fun! License today! #joneshopewooten #dramatistplayservice
