Weathervane Theatre Presents: Monty Python’s Spamalot

OPENING NIGHT! Monty Python’s SPAMALOT

Book and Lyrics: Eric Idle
Music: John Du Prez

Monty Python’s Spamalot is the 2005 Tony® Award winner for Best Musical, lovingly ripped off from the classic 1975 British film comedy, Monty Python and The Holy Grail!  In this retelling of the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, we learn how killer rabbits, a bevy of beautiful showgirls, the French and flying cows figure in their quest for the Holy Grail. Gleefully silly and wickedly smart, Monty Python’s Spamalot captures the distinct spirit of Python humor that appeals to audiences of all ages. Forget Harry Potter.  All hail a can of Spam!

Weathervane Theatre Presents: The Foreigner

THE FOREIGNER

By Larry Shue

Winner of two Obie Awards and two Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best New American Play and Best Off-Broadway Production, The Foreigner promises a hilarious evening of mistaken identity.  Set in a rural fishing lodge in Georgia, a pathologically shy man finds himself beset by strangers and sinister characters that all think he’s an exotic foreigner who doesn’t speak English. Our phobic hero endures a wild ride when he overhears things he shouldn’t. Join us for this comic romp that the New York Post called a “devilishly clever idea!”

I laughed start to finish at one comic surprise after another.”
—The New Yorker

Catch The Foreigner on stage at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, July 17; Friday, July 20; Wednesday, July 25; and Monday, July 30

Weathervane Theatre Presents: Always Patsy Cline

OPENING NIGHT! ALWAYS… PATSY CLINE

By Ted Swindley

In 1961, an unusual conversation began between the famed country singer Patsy Cline and one of her biggest fans, Louise Seger, a Houston housewife.  Finding herself early at Cline’s concert, Seger surprisingly meets Cline and they strike up a coffee chat that lasts until Cline’s death in 1963. Always…Patsy Cline takes us on a musical journey of their serendipitous meeting, their genuine connection and their evolving relationship from fan worship to mutual friendship. The show provides a touching glimpse into the star’s life from the perspective of a true friend. Seger provides the narrative and Cline reappears to sing the tunes that made her famous – “Walkin’ After Midnight,” “Sweet Dreams,” “I Fall To Pieces,” “Crazy” – and more!

Catch Always…Patsy Cline onstage at 8 p.m. on Saturday, July 14; Monday, July 16; Thursday, July 19; Friday, July 27; and Wednesday, August 15.
