Season

The Greenroom Players are proud to announce their upcoming 2006-07 season. We have an exciting line-up of plays that begins with a children's readers theater event which includes one of the best known and best loved plays of all time, shares a serious social drama that examines the core of capital punishment, and concludes with a classic musical about hope and virtue.

Our first event is Once Upon a Time. This fundraiser for the Greenroom players will be a children's readers theater event. Featured performances will include a retelling of The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, poems by Shel Slverstein and Dr. Seuss, and popular children's songs. Admission is three dollars and a parent or guardian will be admitted free with a child.

Our fall productions is William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The play tells the story of passion, love, hate, and destiny. We set our version of the will known story just prior to the Texas revolution. By familiarizing the work, we hope to draw more people to the incredible power and poetry of Shakespeare's classic love story.

The third production of the season will be Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen's compelling work, The Exonerated. The play centers around six people who were convicted of capital crimes and later exonerated by exculpatory evidence. It is a riveting an important work that examines the role of crime and punishment in our society. This production will be our entry in the Texas Community College Speech and Theatre Festival in the spring of 2007.

We conclude our season with Dale Wasserman's well known musical, The Man of La Mancha. This play chronicles the life of novelist and playwright, Miguel de Cervantes, as he awaits questioning by the Spanish Inquisition. The play includes such memorable sonds as The Impossible Dream, It's All the Same, and Little Bird.
