One Night only
The off-Broadway comedy-horror-musical hit that ran for years makes a
successful transfer to film with a bevy of big-name cameos and two
perfectly cast leads. The nebbish Seymour, who pines for flower-girl
Audrey (while living in the basement of florist Mr. Mushnik (Things
start turning around for Seymour, though, after he buys a little plant
during a solar eclipse, christens it Audrey II, and discovers that it
likes to drink blood. Soon enough, though, Seymour finds out that Audrey
II, now grown to epic proportions, is in actuality a "mean green mother
from outer space" that is hell-bent on world domination. Based on the
1960 Roger Corman cheapie that featured a young Jack Nicholson,
Little Shop boasts a hilarious, amazing score by Howard Ashman and
Alan Menken, who would go on to revitalize Disney's animation arm with
The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast.
Although first published in 1891, this ghost story remains a classic of
Wildean wit and Victorian sentimentality. True, some of the references
to melodrama and nineteenth-century Anglo-American attitudes may elude
modern readers, but the basic story of a hardheaded American family that
buys a haunted British manor house and proceeds to drive the resident
ghost nearly crazy with its skepticism is still a delight, as are
Wilde's epigrams: "We have really everything in common with America
nowadays, except, of course, language."
The Steep Canyon Rangers, the IBMA "Entertainers of the Year" will be
playing at the Runyon Theater ONE NIGHT ONLY. Nov. 18 7:30 Pm. Don't
miss it.
Writer Ernest Thompson, who came up with the original stage play of
On Golden Pond , a prickly English professor at the disagreeable
age of 80. Visiting his summer house by a Maine lake with his wife, the
old man forges an unlikely bond with a lonely boy, comes to terms with
his daughter, and suffers disorienting effects of mild dementia.
A tribute to the Mamas and Papa
One Night Only Dec. 3
Based on the beloved, timeless film, this heartwarming
musical adaptation features seventeen Irving Berlin songs and a book by
David Ives and Paul Blake. Veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis have a
successful song-and-dance act after World War II. With romance in mind,
the two follow a duo of beautiful singing sisters en route to their
Christmas show at a Vermont lodge, which just happens to be owned by Bob
and Phil's former army commander. The dazzling score features well known
standards including Blue Skies, I Love A Piano, How Deep Is the Ocean
and the perennial favorite, White Christmas. WHITE CHRISTMAS is an
uplifting musical worthy of year-round productions.

Michael Winsow
One Night only
January 13
Actor and comedian Michael Winslow is known worldwide for his
wacky role as officer Larvelle Jones in the "Police Academy"
film series.
After winning the Gong Show's top honors twice, he made his film debut
in "Cheech And Chongs Next Movie" followed by "Cheech And
Chong's Nice Dreams". His movie career continued with featured roles
in "Alphabet City" with Vincent Spano and "Grand View
USA" starring Jamie Lee Curtis.
When "Police Academy" became a smash success, his celebrity
status was all but assured. He then went on to play a part in Mel
Brooks' "Spaceballs", a film that helped to further spotlight
his unique style of comedy. He was also heard, but not seen, when he
supplied the voice of Stripe, the evil little creature, in the
hit movie "Gremlins".
Michael, a master of vocal gymnastics, can imitate over 1,000 sound
effects using his voice alone. Whether he is recreating the frenzy of
Jimi Hendrix playing the guitar, or the roar of a jet plane, his
versatility is truly remarkable.
Born September 6, 1958 to Robert and Verdie Winslow in
Spokane, Washington, on Fairchild Air Force Base Michael Winslow was the
youngest of five brothers. His mother often tells stories about when he
was a baby she would hear him imitate airplane noises, jet engines,
anything that had sound living on base, there was always a lot going on.
"Growing up on an Air Force Base made it difficult to have friends, so I
created imaginary friends, dogs, cats, trucks, anything that would keep
me occupied for the moment," says Winslow.
After high school and a brief stint at college, Michael had his first
professional performance at a club/theater in Boulder, Colorado named
Tulagi's. This was very exciting for him because Jimmy Hendrix,
The Doors, Tommy Bolin and other famous bands had played
there.
He was an opening act for a group called "Nova", an Italian Rock
Fusion Band. Through the grapevine he heard they were fans of Hendrix,
so why not portray none other than Jimmy Hendrix. He had lots of
props including his mother's afro wig he borrowed from her closet. He
was quite nervous, but the audience responded to his rendition of
"Purple Haze" with an applause he'll never forget. That moment he
knew he wanted to be an entertainer.
Winslow then packed his bags and hitchhiked to Venice Beach where he
would remain homeless for quite some time until finally in 1984 he got
his big chance. Director Hugh Wilson and Producer Paul
Maslanski came to see him perform at a Long Beach Theater where he
was opening for the one and only Count Basie and his Orchestra.
They were overwhelmed by his performance and so was he. They immediately
wrote him into the script of the unforgettable "Police Academy 1".
The movie was such a success it paved the way for other movies and
commercials: "Spaceballs", "Cheech and Chong",
"Gremlins", "Back to the Future 3", "Extra Large" and
the list goes on.

"A moving, thoughtful exploration of how grief changes over time." —The
New Yorker. "…catches the grim mood [of a terrorist attack] better than
anything I've yet seen on the subject of 9/11 and its aftermath. In its
tightly controlled depiction of collective sorrow…it becomes almost
unbearably moving." —Daily Telegraph (London). "Playwright Deborah
Brevoort has a gift for high poetry and her descriptions of the day when
death came raining down on Scotland are impressively moving…endowed with
character, poetry and a core of touching emotion…" —Time Out London.
"…gives powerful voice to a disturbingly contemporary anguish: how to
respond to suffer-ing caused by a terrorist attack…the play has the
power to move an audience to new hope in a world witnessing continual
acts of revenge and hatred." —Sydney Morning Herald (Australia). "This
finely honed play has the formal beauty of a Greek tragedy. The result
is a play where not a minute is wasted in verbiage—where you are gripped
from the opening moment and not released until the end."

Comedian 1
Bob Meddles appeals to a broad cross-section of audiences. From
squeaky clean to mildly blue, Bob examines life in general and puts
it in the context of the crowd he is entertaining.
Bob draws his comedic routine from 20 years experience as a writer,
reporter and editor to shine a spotlight on life in America. His
comedy is pulled from everyday life! Marriage, family and health are
all fair game in Bob's comedy routine, as is growing older, modern
culture, beer and the things that make him crazy: chiefly stupid
people and the people who think we’re stupid.
Recent credits
include HGTV and Sirius/XM Radio
This
play takes place on a desolate road next to a barren tree. There are two
aimless men loitering and passing the time in discussion. They are soon
joined by two others. The first act of the play lasts through one
evening. The second act lasts through a second evening almost identical
to the first. When ever the subject of leaving their spot arises, we
learn that they can't leave because they are "Waiting for Godot" and
need to stay at this particular spot on the road.
From the authors of "Guys And Dolls" comes one of the most delightfully
irreverent musicals of all time. A satire of big business and all it
holds sacred, "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" follows
the rise of J. Pierrepont Finch, who uses a little handbook called "How
To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" to climb the corporate
ladder from lowly window washer to high-powered executive, tackling such
familiar but potent dangers as the aggressively compliant "company man,"
the boss' whiny, nepotistic nephew, the office party, backstabbing
co-workers, caffeine addiction and, of course, true love.
Willy of The Wooden Leg
with A Patch Over One Eye and A Hook for A Hand is Back with his foul
group of odious Pirates with a new plan to extort the Riches of a small
tropical island. Who will save the towns people from the terrors that
lurk aboard the Ghost Ship Kerra Bella?
Set during the Second Continental Congress, this musical mixes humor
with
serious debate surrounding the question of independence for the American
colonies. Generally
accurate, the debate scenes are particularly useful in this regard.
Centered on John Adams and
his political ally Ben Franklin, the film shows the struggle to
introduce the question of
independence into Congress, speculates on how Thomas Jefferson was
chosen to write the
Declaration of Independence, and details a series of debates ranging
from individual word choice
in the Declaration to independence itself.
