Romantic Score, Passionate Music and Lyrics, Soaring Melodies! JULY 5th thru JULY 22ND Based on the novella by Elizabeth Spencer, The Light in the Piazza takes place in Italy in the summer of 1953. Margaret Johnson, the wife of an American businessman, is touring the Tuscan countryside with her daughter, Clara. While sightseeing, Clara – a beautiful, surprisingly childish young woman – loses her hat in a sudden wind gust. As if guided by an unseen hand, the hat lands at the feet of Fabrizio Naccarelli, a handsome Florentine, who returns it to Clara. This brief episode, charged with coincidence and fate, sparks an immediate and intense romance between Clara and Fabrizio. Margaret, extremely protective of her daughter, attempts to keep the young lovers apart. As THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA unfolds we find that Clara is not quite all that she appears. Unable to suppress the truth about her daughter, Margaret is forced to reconsider not only Clara's future, but her own hopes as well. A story every mother and daughter will enjoy.

A Must See for Every Family! JULY 26TH thru AUGUST 5th A serious comedy which takes place in Crossroads, North Carolina, a small southern farming community. Within this community lives two families with the same last name although one is African American and one is White. When health and death issues arise, the most difficult question of the twentieth century, the color line, comes into play. All hell and a little bit of heaven break loose when Elijah Beckford, a prominent Southern black undertaker, approaches his wealthy white cousin, Charlie Beckford, and demands to be buried in "the white family cemetery." Sometimes, when addressing such serious issues, if we open our mouths to laugh, we may open our hearts to a wider understanding of humanity and discover unique solutions to the challenges we face in our future.
