Based on a novel by Louisa May Alcott
Book by Allan Knee | Music by Jason Howland | Lyrics by Mindi Dickstein
Based on Louisa May Alcott’s life, Little Women follows the adventures of sisters, Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March. Jo is trying to sell her stories for publication, but the publishers are not interested. Her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells her that she has to do better and write more from herself. Begrudgingly taking this advice, Jo weaves the story of herself and her sisters and their experience growing up in Civil War America.
Little Women embodies the complete theatrical experience, guaranteeing a night filled with laughter, tears, and a lifting of the spirit. The powerful score soars with the sounds of personal discover, heartache, and hope – the sounds of a young America finding its voice.
Little Women is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.MTIShows.com

By James W. Rodgers
This stage adaptation of the classic film has all your favorite characters. George Bailey’s dreams of escape and adventure have been quashed by family obligation and civic duty, and his guardian angel descends on Christmas Eve to save him from despair and remind him — by showing him what the world would have been like had he never been born — that his has been, after all, a wonderful life.

An impassioned drama about the lives of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed storage attic, The Diary of Anne Frank captures the claustrophobic realities of their daily existence — their fear, their hope, their laughter, their grief. Each day of these two dark years, Anne’s voice shines through: “When I write, I shake off all my cares. But I want to achieve more than that. I want to be useful and bring enjoyment to all people, even those I’ve never met. I want to go on living even after my death!”

Music by Richard Rodgers | Book by Oscar Hammerstein II | Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II | Original Dances by Agnes de Mille | Based on the play “Green Grow the Lilacs” by Lynn Riggs
Set in a Western Indian territory just after the turn of the century, the high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the colorful background against which Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story. Although the road to true love never runs smooth, with these two headstrong romantics holding the reins, love’s journey is as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road.
OKLAHOMA! is presented through special arrangement with R & H Theatricals: www.rnh.com.

New name…same old antics! Formerly our annual “Evening of One-Acts,” the Local Playwright One-Act Festival gives local writers the opportunity to see their original works performed in a theatre setting. Unlike our mainstage shows, the Festival does not require any formal auditions and plenty of roles are always available. The troupe will perform a selection of locally written one-act skits (all less than 10 minutes long).
One-Act Festival
JUNE 8th & 9th @ 7:30 PM:
The Annual One Acts Festival will be at your service to provide fun, local entertainment this weekend! The acts performed are written by Goldsboro’s very own locals! Come on out for a good time! These performances will be held at the Wayne County Museum.
