Old Creamery 2010 season

Old Creamery - Old Creamery has announced most of its 2010 season. Old Creamery is one of just a few theaters in the area that has a calendar year season rather than following the academic year. One show remains a mystery as they work to secure the rights cannot announce the show at this time (see correction in the comments). They give us a few clues: if you liked Steel Magnolias and Nunsense, you'll like this musical comedy. Steel Magnolias has some women vs. men themes and of course Nunsense features great singing opportunities for women. Couple that with the rights being tough to get... and I'm thinking Chicago. Feel free to put your guesses in the comments section.

Everybody Loves Opal, April 29 – May 23
By John Patrick
And everybody will love Old Creamery funny lady, Marquetta Senters, as Opal Kronkie. Ever the optimist, Opal has faith in the goodness of people. When three “friends” decide Opal needs plenty of insurance and a rapid demise, she still radiates kindness, affection, and strangely enough, gratitude! Laughter abounds as the con-artists attempt to do her in, but somehow Opal always manages to come out on top.

Rumors, June 3 – July 3
By Neil Simon
What is supposed to be an anniversary party for New York’s deputy mayor turns into a wild night of zany adventures for four couples. An attempted suicide (or is it?), a missing hostess, a damaged car, recurring back spasms, and rumors galore all add to the comedic mayhem of one of Neil Simon’s funniest plays.

A Don’t Hug Me County Fair, July 15 – August 15
Book and Lyrics by Phil Olson, Music by Paul Olson
Oh, for spilling the mosquito repellent! Its summertime in Minnesota and the folks from Bunyan Bay are back in an all new show. It’s County Fair time and the Miss Walleye competition is in full swing. Things get tense as Bernice and Clara both vie for the crown, but the real trouble (and hilarity) begins when Gunner’s “twin” sister shows up to enter the contest. Paul Bunyan gives it two BIG thumbs up!

This show is top secret! The Old Creamery has been trying to get the rights to this crowd pleasing musical comedy for over four years and we finally did it… we just can’t tell you the title until January. But rest assured, if you’ve enjoyed shows like Nunsense and Steel Magnolias, you’ll love this one too.
