Canyon Moon Theatre Company: Season X

Season X at a glance

SEASON X — Oct 2007 thru Jun 2008

Murder at the Howard Johnson's

by Ron Clark and Sam Bobrick

March 13 - March 30, 2008

no performance Sunday, March 16

A love triangle you'll never forget! This suspense filled who-dunnit — or better yet 'who-tried-to-do-it' — will leave you howling for more as one murder after another is attempted and somehow fails.

"Enough laugh lines, mirth-provoking situations and extravagant sight gags to outfit two rapid fire farces of the absurd."

— Variety

"A holiday of laughter. . . Beautifully polished. . . A very funny, very American comedy."

— WNBC-TV

Trying

by Joanna McClelland Glass

April 24 - May 3, 2008

no performance Saturday, April 26

A plucky Canadian prairie girl goes to Washington D.C. and lands a job with a crusty old judge. Their mercurial relationship — wrought with paper, tears, and iron-will — blossoms into an undying friendship.

“Trying is a portrait of generational reconciliation. It is enormously bracing theatre."

— New York Daily News

“Exquisitely literate."

— Variety

Maybe Baby, It's You

by Charlie Shanian and Shari Simpson

November 8 - December 2, 2007

no performance Thursday, November 22

Maybe Baby, It's You is a comedy about the search for that most elusive of entities, the soulmate, told in a series of 11 vignettes that cover ground from the first kiss to the not-so-golden years of marriage. Maybe baby, it's you. Or maybe… it isn't.

"No 'maybe baby,' it's a winner. Maybe Baby is smart, funny, adorable."

— New York Post

Fiction

by Steven Dietz

January 19 - February 10, 2008

Linda and Michael Waterman are both successful writers, happily married to one another. They thrive on the give and take of their unusually honest and candid relationship. However, when they decide to share their diaries with one another, the boundaries between past and present, fact and fiction, and trust and betrayal begin to break down. No life, as it turns out, is an open book.

"Everything about the play has an elegance and richness our theater sees too seldom."

— Howard Kissel, New York Daily News

G.I. Jukebox

arranged by Rick Lewis

October 4 - October 28, 2007

During World War II, Hollywood stars and starlets made it their duty to entertain 'the boys.' G.I. Jukebox is a night at the service canteen as the cast sings some of the best music of the twentieth century, mostly in four-part harmony. Act 1 is set in uniform khaki, while Act 2 brings out the tuxedos and gowns.

"Don’t miss this show. It is one that lingers with you and really makes you pause and think about the men and women who, once again, are fighting another war for Old Glory."
