Showcasing a treasure trove of hit songs and hidden gems by composer Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Godspell,), Snapshots: A Musical Scrapbook follows empty-nesters Sue and Dan on a poignant journey through their past,
guided by a box of photographs and the memories the pictures bring to life.
Part revue and part book musical, the play opens with Dan and Sue, who have drifted apart after their son has left for college, discovering a box of photographs of their life together on the night Sue has planned to leave the marriage. As the photographs come to life (played by four other actors who also portray Dan and Sue at younger phases of their lives), the pair uncover secrets and surprises about their relationship, and are given an opportunity to rediscover the love they share for one another.The songs are mostly well-known from Schwartz’s shows, but many of the lyrics have been revised by Mr. Schwartz for this new context.

Starring Jacqueline Jones as Mrs. Webb A retirement party? You betcha! Join us for this heartwarming and hilarious send-off retirement party for Mrs. Webb! Set in the well- worn auditorium of Tranquility Middle School, surrounded by her fellow teachers, this is the chance to re-visit some of her favorite stories spanning 35 years of teaching. With heart, humor, and some harsh realities, this play proves what unsung heroes our teachers truly are. For anyone who has gone to school or taught in a school, (pretty much everyone!) this one is for you. Cake & Coffee included!
