The Dixie Swim Club
Comedy by Jones, Hope, & Wooten
The Dixie Swim Club is the story of five southern women, friends for years through their college swim team. Each August, they meet at the same beach cottage to catch up, laugh, and meddle in each other's lives. As the next 33 years unfold, these women increasingly rely on one another to get through the challenges (men, sex, marriage, parenting, divorce, aging) life flings at them.

Who Hung Helmsley? A grand jury investigation into the bizarre demise of Leon Helmsley. An Audience-Interactive Murder Mystery by Michael Neville and Jim Iaquinta
Lenora Helmsley, filthy rich real estate magnate, has died under bizarre, if not suspicious, circumstances. A grand jury is being convened to determine whether the death is murder, suicide or accidental; whether anyone else was involved in causing the death accidentally or with malice aforethought.
You are summoned to be a member of the jury. Or, you may choose to be a witness. Is her personal assistant to fault, perhaps her disgruntled ex-business partner, possibly the purveyor of the exotic love contraptions she loved, or maybe her jilted ex-lover, a business rival she crushed? Or could it possibly be laid at the paws of the pooch she left millions to? The hearing dates are set so don't miss out on the fun of what is sure to be the Trial of the Century, or of the Decade, ...at least of the Season.
Cast includes Lori Minneti [Baggage, Murder at the Howard Johnson's, Audition for Murder, Memories Are Made of This], Jim Iaquinta [Last of the Red Hot Lovers,A Gift for You, A Bench in the Sun, Audition for Murder, Memories Are Made of This], Kelly Pierce [A Gift for You, Audition for Murder],Ted Tyson [Memories Are made of This]

The Man with the Plastic Sandwich
A Comedy by Roger Karshner
Fired after twenty years, Walter Price encounters three provocative characters while contemplating his options on a park bench: Ellie, a high spirited ingenue representing hope; Haley, a distinguished hobo representing wisdom; and Lenore, a hooker who represents reality.
"You will laugh until your sides feel as if they will burst, until your eyes begin to water, until you are sure that one more clever line or witty exchange will send you into a laughing fit from which you may never recover." - The Chicago Sun Times.
You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown
Based on the comic strip “Peanuts” by Charles M. Schulz
Musical by Clark Gesner
An average day in the life of the loveable Charlie Brown. Follow along with the cast of characters you’ve loved since you were a kid- Peppermint Patty, Lucy, Linus, Schroeder, Sally, and of course Charlie Brown’s loveable pooch Snoopy. Relive all the classic Charlie Brown moments, from anxiously awaiting the arrival of a Valentine’s Day Card to the tense moments on the pitcher’s mound. All set to a gleeful score. Great for all ages!
A crush can make anyone feel young again- even a widower named Ralph. One day, Ralph decides to take a different path on his routine daily walk—one that leads him to an unexpected second chance at love. Relying on a renewed boyish charm, Ralph attempts to woo the elegant, but distant, Carol. Defying Carol's reticence—and his lonely sister's jealousy—Ralph embarks on the trip of a lifetime, and regains a happiness that seemed all but lost.
January 11, 1959, I met my husband at
Weiler’s Log Cabin Ballroom. He was out
with his boyfriend an I was out with my
girlfriend. We celebrated our 47th
Wedding Anniversary this past June 24th.
Now my husband and I are enjoying the
Dinner Theater, and also the Great
Chicken Comedies. It would be nice if we
are both here in 2011 to celebrate our
50th here at Memories. Thank you for the Great Memories! Gene &
Judy P.
