 Coming
to the CHT for Summer of 2011
Our 22nd Season of Live Summer Theatre
Directed by
Sheila Hague
Happy Days is
a brand new
musical written by Garry
Marshall and music and lyrics by Paul
Williams.
This
show is based on the TV
series of
the same name. Given the show's 1959 setting, it
would have probably taken place around Season
4 of
the TV show, but the musical focuses on the
character of Fonzie, rather than Richie. The story
concerns the kids' plans to save Arnold’s from
demolition by hosting a dance contest and a
wrestling match.

Six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen
by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood
themselves, learn that winning isn’t everything and
that losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser.
The 25TH Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a
hilarious tale of overachievers’ angst chronicling
the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for
the spelling championship of a lifetime. The show’s
Tony Award winning creative team has created the
unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of
heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for
whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can
stand out and fit in at the same time.

The early 1970’s saw the rise of popular soft
rock/pop rock music with recording artists such as
The Carpenters, Ray Stevens, Elton John, James
Taylor, The Eagles, America, Chicago, The Doobie
Brothers, Bread and Steely Dan as well as the
further rise of such popular, influential rhythm and
blues (R&B) artists as multi-instrumentalist Stevie
Wonder and the popular quintet The Jackson 5. The
mid-1970s also saw the rise of disco music which
dominated during the last half of the decade. The
CHT is bringing it all to the stage with a fun
spirited revue written and directed by Diane - and
filled with all those great memories of the 60’s and
70’s - filled with flashbacks of the Brady Bunch,
Laugh In and those styles that we will never forget.
This is a show you will not want to miss!!
