" Peter Pan!” Non musical version by J.M Barrie

J.M. Barrie's classic tells the story of Wendy, John and Michael Darling's adventures in

Neverland with the inimitable Peter Pan,  "the boy who would not grow up." In Neverland,

the Darlings are introduced to the Lost Boys, Peter's jealous fairy friend Tinker Bell,

the infamous pirate Captain Hook, and the crocodile who swallowed Hook's hand.

 The action escalates when the Darlings are captured by Hook and, with Peter's help,

escape, taking the Lost Boys home with them.

Funny Money


Written by Ray Cooney

Presented through special arrangement with
Concord Theatricals

Never has this master of farce been frenetically funnier! Henry A. Perkins, a mild mannered C.P.A,

accidently picks up the wrong briefcase one full of money.  Henry assumes it is illicit cash and he

decides to keep it. Knowing that the former owner must have his briefcase, he rushes home to book

one way fares  to Barcelona. He tells his confused wife to leave everything behind; if she doesn't like

Barcelona, they can go to Bali. In fact, they can buy Bali! The doorbell rings as they wait for their taxi.

 The police detective at the door thinks Henry was soliciting in the men's room of the local pub actually,

he was sitting in the loo counting the cash. The bell rings again. Another detective arrives thinking

Henry is dead; a man with bullet holes in his head and Henry's briefcase were found in the Thames. 

Henry's inept attempts to extricate himself from this impossible situation lead to increasingly hysterical

situations.

A Typically Atypical Day

A mysterious intruder who is planting false incriminating papers in the mayor's office, 

the excitement, tension and laughter builds in this comedy,  which is certainly not your typical show

A reluctant society reporter has been assigned to do a story on a typical day in the mayor's office.

Then visitors appear.  A guru and his pregnant wife want the mayor to help them

register in the city hospital. A fraudulent faith healer seeks exemption from paying

rental fees for the revival. The door flies open and Carlos and Juan appear. 

These two bungling, homesick aliens take the entire office hostage.

Radio, television, the FBI and the U.N. all add to the confusion, fun and happy ending.

Audition Dates: 

Sun Feb 9th 5:00 pm & Mon Feb 10th 7:00 pm at the Boone County Museum of History

Performance Dates:

April 25th & 26th ,2025 at 7:00pm and April 27th 2025, at 2:00pm
