This touching comedy centers around five Southern women who became friends on their college swim team. The group sets aside a long weekend every August to recharge their relationships. Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage on North Carolina's Outer Banks to catch up, laugh and meddle in each other's lives. The play begins 22 years after they graduate from college. "The Dixie Swim Club" focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of thirty-three years. As their lives unfold and the years pass, these women increasingly rely on one another, through advice and raucous repartee to get through the challenges (men, sex, marriage, parenting, divorce and aging) that life flings at them. And when fate throws a wrench into one of their lives in the second act, these friends, proving the enduring power of 'teamwork', rally around their own with the strength and love that takes this comedy in a poignant and surprising direction. It is really a study in friendship and how it grows and changes through the years. 

Jones Hope Wooten are the authors of “Golden Girls” and “Savannah Sipping Society”

The incomparably imaginative creators of Seussical, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, bring one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved tales to life in The Emperor's New Clothes.  This winsome musical is a crowd-pleaser for all ages.

Fourteen-year-old Emperor Marcus the 3rd is nervous to take the throne. Deciding that he can only gain confidence by dressing in the finest attire, Marcus commands his Royal Clothesmaker to fashion him in the most royal wardrobe. Taking advantage of Marcus' uncertainty and immaturity, a Swindler promises to make magic clothes that are "invisible to fools, liars, and anyone you should ignore," for a large and hefty price. Only Arno, the simple-hearted mop boy, can help Marcus out of this royal mess and teach him an important lesson about outward appearance.

A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder is the knock-'em-dead, uproarious hit and the most-nominated show of the 2014 Broadway season.

With 10 Tony nominations and 4 wins, including Best Musical, Book, Direction and Costumes, this Tony-Award Winning Musical makes its Minnesota Premiere at the Old Log.

 

Set in London in 1907, A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder centers on Monty Navarro, a penniless clerk who is informed after the death of his mother that he is ninth in line to inherit the earldom of Highhurst, controlled by the wealthy D’Ysquith banking family. After the imperious ruling Lord dismisses Monty’s claim of being a relative, the eight D’Ysquiths ahead of young Mr. Navarro begin dying in natural and unnatural ways. (A single actor plays all the not-so-nice D'Ysquiths, adding to the merriment.)

FIVE PRESIDENTS brings us back 25 years into the Executive Board Room at the Nixon Library on April 27, 1994.  It is the day of Richard Nixon's funeral and an historic occasion that brought the five living presidents, four exes and one current, together to mourn, honor and discuss one of our history’s most controversial political figures.  This is a fictional take of what might Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and Bill Clinton have discussed while gathered prior to the service. Maybe some soul searching among great men so rarely together or, would these leaders of the free world prefer banter, small talk, jokes or petty bickering?

 

Author Rick Cleveland, an Emmy winning writer/producer whose credits include THE WEST WING, MAD MEN, and MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE, demonstrates that he can make government leaders engaging on stage as well. “It is not a partisan play, but this ex-president club is a partisan club.” Mr. Cleveland says, “ I think people will be delighted at how not political it is.”

Reviews from World Premiere in 2015:

  • “This is a very, very funny play.  The laughs come easily, and they are prolonged. The humor is directed from one ex to another ex.” – OnMilwaukee.com
  • “… Compelling reminder that presidents- like the rest of us- are always more complicated and conflicted than we imagine”“…a steady stream of comic one-liners… [the] audience loved it.”  -Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Tenderly, the Rosemary Clooney Musical is not a typical “juke-box musical.” It offers a fresh, remarkably personal, and poignant picture of the woman whose unparalleled talent and unbridled personality made her a legend. 

 

In Tenderly, Rosemary Clooney’s journey starts with her simple Maysville, Kentucky childhood and follows her rise to Hollywood stardom. With her signature songs woven in and out, we learn both the story of her successes on film, radio, and TV, as well as her struggles in her personal life – with a career fading during the advent of rock-and-roll and her battles with addiction and depression. Audiences stand and cheer as they rejoice at her triumphant comeback and even more successful career as a jazz singer.

WINNIE THE POOH

Run Time is 60 minutes with no intermission

Winnie-the-Pooh is Christopher Robin's fat little "bear of very little brain" who would like to drift peacefully through life, humming tunes and stopping frequently to eat "a little something." However, he finds himself involved in all sorts of frantic adventures, assisted by such friends as the dismal Eeyore, Piglet and Rabbit, with his countless relations. Pooh's intentions are always the best, but his passion for honey and condensed milk keeps getting him into trouble. When friend Piglet gets roped into Kanga's household and Kanga starts bathing him (with soap!) and forcing down spoonfuls of Strengthening Medicine, Pooh wants to fly to the rescue, but he's had so many snacks he gets stuck in the door. A.A. Milne's wit and special understanding of young people make this one of the most successful plays available.

Told from the perspective of seven young women who came of age in this enigmatic decade, these ladies look back on a host of issues ranging from their first Beehive Dance to the challenges we faced as a nation – all accomplished by a vast array of the most celebrated and memorable songs of the era.  This re- imagining of a powerful woman’s musical will speak to the awakening of the female movement started in the 60s and ignited thankfully today in 2018 realization.

Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, Guys and Dolls is an oddball romantic comedy. Gambler, Nathan Detroit, tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck; meanwhile, his girlfriend and nightclub performer, Adelaide, laments that they've been engaged for fourteen years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler, Sky Masterson, for the dough, and Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary, Sarah Brown, as a result. Guys and Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.

Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, Guys and Dolls ran for 1,200 performances when it opened on Broadway in 1950. It received nearly unanimous positive reviews from critics and won a bevy of awards, including Tony Awards, Drama Desks and Oliviers. Frequently revived, the show has been done with numerous all-star casts, including productions/concerts featuring Ewan McGregor, Jane Krakowski, Brian Stokes Mitchell and Jessica Biel.

The Reluctant Dragon adapted by R. Kent KnutsoN

In this beloved classic story, a young boy befriends a poetry-loving dragon living in the hills above his home. When the town-folk send for St. George to slay the dragon, the boy needs to come up with a clever plan to save his friend and convince the townsfolk to accept him.

Join us on November 26th or December 17th for a Knight and Princess Buffet.



Notes from the Playwrite R. Kent Knutson:


The Reluctant Dragon  was written by Kenneth Grahame in 1839 as a once upon a time children’s story based on the Saint George legend. Grahame who would go on to write “The Wind In the Willows” wanted to tell the story of an 11 year old boy who proves to be a good deal wiser and braver than his peers. In our version the village the boy lives in is filled with story tellers and people who if they don’t know the truth, make it up. So when the rumor of a dragon comes to town they imagine the worst. The dragon is said to be evil and mean a scourge to the land and the people. He is different than they are so he must be feared and destroyed. Not one to accept things blindly and having read all about gentle and kind dragons in his books, Peter, the boy, goes to see the dragon for himself. He finds dragon not fierce or horrible, but  a kind hearted creature who reads books and writes poetry and just wants to make friends with the people and help them. Prejudice however, is a powerful force and  a hard thing to defeat. “Once a person gets an idea in their head it is hard to change It”.  Still Peter tries to convince the villagers of the true nature of the dragon, but they are intent on destroying the beast and send for Saint George, the slayer of Dragons to rid them of this beast. At first St. George is hesitant TO BELIEVE THE BOYS STORY ABOUT A KIND DRAGON; AFTERALL SO MANY IN THE VILLAGE HAVE SAID TERRIBLE HURTFUL THINGS ABOUT HIM, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NEVER MET HIM. Peter has the Saint and dragon meet and being of a brave and true heart St. George sees the truth. The three of them decide on a plan to save the day and allow the good people of the village to see with their minds and hearts rather than fear and suspicion. A battle is planned with the outcome designed to show the people their foolish ways and teach them to be tolerant and loving. This lovely story teaches the lesson of tolerance, how rumors and lies can hurt a person (or dragon) who has done nothing to deserve such treatment and that there is nothing wrong with reading books and writing poetry no mater you age or gender. During the play the dragon will ask the children in the audience to help him write his final poem. He will call out words and ask the kids to suggest words that rhyme..( Old – gold, sold, told). Then at the end of the celebration or play the dragon has the audience deliver their poem together. Filled with funny characters, a loving mother and father, an 8 ft. tall singing and dancing dragon a saint and a very clever young boy. This story should touch the hearts of your children as well as give you some excellent topics for discussion. I hope you enjoy, “The Reluctant Dragon”!

The musical captures the memorable day when four Rock n' Roll greats made music history. On December 4, 1956, an auspicious twist of fate brought together Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley at Sun Records' storefront studio in Memphis, TN.

This was the only occasion the four legends-to-be played together, and it has come to be known as one of the greatest rock jam sessions of all time.

Talking Broadway: The Wedding Singer Review

Sun Sailor: The Old Log Theatre’s ‘The Wedding Singer’ pays tribute to the greatest hits of the 1980's

The Wedding Singer is a musical with music by Matthew Sklar, lyrics by Chad Beguelin, and a book by Beguelin and Tim Herlihy. It is based on the 1998 film of the same name. Robbie Hart, a Wedding singer, lives with his Grandma Rosie in Ridgefield, New Jersey. He and his band play a great wedding gig. During his usual "warm-up-the-crowd routine," Robbie proudly announces that he will be married to his beloved fiancée Linda the next day. At the wedding gig, Robbie meets a waitress named Julia Sullivan, who can't wait to get married. Afterward, Robbie tries to write a sweet love song to Linda, with help from Julia, whom he had just met during the previous wedding. The following day, however, Linda dumps Robbie at the altar, with only a note claiming that she wants to be the wife of a rock star and not just a wedding singer. Meanwhile, an anxious Julia goes out to dinner with her Wall Street banker boyfriend, Glen Guglia, hoping he will pop the question, which he does.

Governors, senators, mayors, and even victorious college football teams frequent Miss Mona’s cozy bordello until that puritan nemesis Watchdog focuses his television cameras and his righteous indignation on the institution.

“Utterly charming, lively and genial.”- The New York Daily News

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels: the Musical

A Stylish, Sexy, Irreverent Piece of Broadway Musical Heaven.

Book by Jeffrey Lane. Music and Lyrics by David Yazbek. Based on the film written by Dale Launer and Stanley Shapiro & Paul Henning

Based on the popular 1988 film, DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS centers on two con men living on the French Riviera.  Lawrence Jameson makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money. Freddy Benson more humbly swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories about his grandmother’s failing health.  When it becomes apparent that the Riviera isn’t big enough for the both of them, they make a winner-take-all wager over the fortunes of a naïve American soap heiress: the first one to “clean her out” can make the other clear out and keep the Riviera and its unsuspecting tourists to himself! A hilarious series of schemes, masquerades and double-crosses will keep audiences laughing.

Approximate running time: 2 hour including intermission.

January 16 - March 7, 2015

By the Pulitzer, Oscar and Tony-winning writer, John Patrick Shanley.

OUTSIDE MULLINGAR is a compassionate, delightful play about how it’s never too late to take a chance on love.  It's kind of an "Irish Moonstruck".

Anthony and Rosemary, two introverted misfits straddling 40. Anthony has spent his entire life on a cattle farm in rural Ireland, a state of affairs that—due to his painful shyness—suits him well. Rosemary lives right next door, determined to have him, watching the years slip away. With Anthony’s father threatening to disinherit him and a land feud simmering between their families, Rosemary has every reason to fear romantic catastrophe. But then, in this very Irish story with a surprising depth of poetic passion, these yearning, eccentric souls fight their way towards solid ground and some kind of happiness. Their journey is heartbreaking, funny and ultimately deeply moving. "John Patrick Shanley's finest work since DOUBT." - The New York Times

Approximate running time: 1 hour and forty-five minutes including intermission.
