An original musical by Richard Rosen; Lyrics by Richard Rosen; Music by Mark Johnston

Every year, we take one trip down memory Lane. This year we’ll travel back to our ’03-’04 season and revisit one of the most musical, entertaining and educational shows. You’ll have a chance to meet the two wackiest step sisters to ever set foot in glass slippers. Set in Colonial San Antonio, this original musical is a hilarious version of the classic tale that introduces children to the founding of our city. The Governor of San Antonio de Bexar has a handsome son whom he determines will marry a local girl. Will it be La Cinderella or one of her two step sisters? Will Cinderella find true love? Will the Governor’s son find La Cinderella? We all find out at the ball in the garden of the Governor’s Palace, where luminarias and the full moon light the way to love and happiness. P.S. Be ready for some cool island jazz and trips back and forth in time. PERFECT FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES!

Written by Richard Rosen, Executive Director

A hilarious parody of the immortal Grimm Brothers tale "The Elves and the Shoe Makers," this tale takes place in the fictional West Texas town of Selena. The story begins with the old retired gun slinger named Luke Casey and his wife Crystal Dale arriving in Selena to open their new boot store.  Though they are disappointed they have only enough leather to make one pair of boots, Luke and Crystal awake the next morning to find that someone (or some elf) has helped them make the most beautiful pair of boots anyone has ever seen. The boots are so beautiful that a customer offers to pay double what they cost!  And it’s all thanks to the magical boot-making elves named “ELFIS,” “Hers Elf,” “His Elf” and “Mice Elf.” This show is rip roarin' fun, complete with a live western band, puppets and a high noon showdown! PERFECT FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES!

Lyrics & Music by Joel Higgins; Music by Martin Silvestri

Honored as off-Broadway's Best Musical in 2004 by the Outer Critics Circle, Johnny Guitar is a tuneful, laugh-filled musical comedy that embraces and sends up Fifties-style movie acting, melodramatic romance, and rough-and-tumble cowboy action. Featuring a sensational score with echoes of doo-wop songs and steamy southwestern ballads, the musical Johnny Guitar is based on a cult film favorite starring Joan Crawford. It tells the tale of Vienna, a sultry saloon keeper and her jealous nemesis Emma, the town's tycoon. When Johnny Guitar, a handsome stranger with a secret past, rides into town and faces off with Vienna's lover, the hot-headed Dancin' Kid, the stage is set for a hilarious showdown unlike anything the Old West, or the theatre-has ever seen!
