Don’t Miss Our 5th Annual
Holiday Special Event
Directed by Tracy Cathey
In Old El Paso, Ebeneezer Humbug is about
to "raise the dickens" by foreclosing on
everyone in town...on Christmas Day! He
hopes to force Felicity Fuzziwig to marry
him, much to the dismay of his clerk, Bob
Scratchit, who also wants to marry her.
Jake Marley, the partner Humbug cheated
out of half a gold mine years before, appears to claim his share. Will the memories
of Happy Christmases Past unwrap the Present of Joyful Christmases Yet to Come? Stuff
your stocking with this cup overflowing with Holiday Jollity, classic melodrama style!

Way Off Broadway Community Players
produced our first show, Murder on the Rerun, during the
‘97-’98 Season - of only two productions at the Leander ISD’s LEO Center,
where we stayed for three seasons.
During our 4th season, with our original Farndale…Christmas
Carol, there was an unfortunate fire which gutted the LEO
Center. We were able to work with LISD and used several
of the school campuses for our next three productions, and
finished our 4th season with Female Odd Couple in our new
temporary home in an old grocery store at the Buttercup
Commons. We were able to make Buttercup our home for
the next three seasons.
Heralding our 20th Season will be the 15th Annual
Summer Melodrama Stop the Presses
Which begins July 22, 2016.
Our other Special Events will be our Fund Raiser,
A Platinum Affair to Remember in September,
our 5th Annual Holiday Special Melodrama in December
and this year, we will include a Valentine’s Special Event,
Love, Loss and What I Wore, beginning February 10, 2017

MYSTERY/SUSPENSE: This WORLD PREMIER of an original stage
play involves the intrepid Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson as
they investigate the series of murders in London’s East End in
the last half of 1888. The murder victims are all women, and
are linked by gruesome disfigurement by the perpetrator. The
murderer has become known as Jack the Ripper because of a
letter sent to Scotland Yard. He is taunting police. In a second
letter, he referred to himself as 'saucy Jacky’. But, how does
Irene Adler figure into this case? Is Sherlock more involved in
this case than any of us would like to believe? Will the identity
of Jack the Ripper be revealed or remain a mystery?
COMEDY: Lauren Bacall on Broadway and Debbie Reynolds
onscreen assayed the title role in this knockabout farce by the
author of The Seven Year Itch. Charlie was a cad, a womanizer, with a foul mouth and taste for booze Shot by a jealous
husband while hightailing it from a lover’s husband’s yacht,
Charlie falls out a porthole and is lost at sea only to find
himself “returned” as an attractive blond woman (cigar in
hand). And gets a second chance at life and love. His best
friend is staying at his house as he puts Charlie's affairs in
order and after being convinced, finds himself an unwilling
helper in Charlie's new plan to marry into money.
COMEDY: Doris Day and Rock Hudson starred in the movie
version of this show. George’s favorite hobby is hypochondria. At one of his many doctor visits, he overhears his
doctor discussing another patient with heart trouble, and
mistakes the dying man’s diagnosis for his own. He bravely
prepares to meet his end, sure that it’s 'his time'. Putting his
affairs in order, he writes a heartbreaking letter to his wife ,
Judy, to be read as his eulogy. He tries to arrange a good
second husband for his soon-to-be widow. When he finally
tells his wife about his impending demise, she quickly finds out
that he’s not dying at all. She believes it’s just a lame excuse to
hide an affair, but he’s just trying to find a cemetery plot for
three: himself, his wife and the new future 'Mister Kimball'.

COMEDY: A newly married couple buys a house in historic
Salem, Massachusetts. Which has the annoying feature of
being visited each year by a slightly destructive witch named
Agatha Forbes. Things go along smoothly, so they decide to
make a farewell party out of Agatha’s next visit. A crazy aunt,
nice looking doctor and his mother, a self-proclaimed medium
and the local newspaper’s star reporter are all invited. But all
gaiety vanishes when the witch arrives in a cloud of smoke
and bad temper. Impatient from the outset, Agatha makes no
bones about the fact that she wants everyone out of the
house. As no one will cooperate, she then exercises her
special powers and casts a spell which, to every one's dismay, makes them actually become, temporarily, as they
secretly wish themselves to be. The results are uproarious.
Fortunately, they discover (in the nick of time) how to free
Agatha from her house-haunting obligation.
COMEDY: The inhabitants of Texas’ smallest trailer fight the a
town who wants to annex them. With everything else they’re
dealing with: being passed over again for a work promotion.
Attempting to keep a feisty mother out of the local bar. Trying
to keep Baby from taking his participation in a womanless
beauty pageant way too seriously. Curbing the impulse to
take in every stray cat, possum, and armadillo that wanders
by. Being frustrated by the clients at the Stairway To Heaven
Retirement Village. Constantly battling with the curmudgeon
from across the road, who loathes their “trailer-trash” ways.
But these friends, enemies, and neighbors realize they’ll have
to work together if they have a snowball’s chance to survive
being swallowed up by “the big guys.” The rollicking mayhem
of this flat-out funny comedy escalates as the residents
attempt to secede from Texas, discover a traitor in their
midst, and turn the tables in a surprising and side-splitting
finale. So come on over to Doublewide, where life is double the
fun, double the joy, and more than double the laughter!
COMEDY: A career-driven wife Suzannah, needs a lot more help
on the home front than she's getting from her husband, Gibby.
Enter Beth as the newly-hired assistant, a gregarious, highlymotivated woman who whips the household into an organized,
well-run machine – at the perfect time. Suzannah’s, boss is
flying in from London for an important make-or-break business dinner. Gibby grows increasingly wary as Beth insinuates
herself into more and more aspects of their lives, and into
Suzannah’s career. Beth is given carte blanche to change
anything in the household that "will make it run more efficiently." And the change Beth makes is convincing Suzannah that
Gibby must go! When he realizes it's Suzannah's career Beth is
really after, a newly-determined Gibby sets out to save his
marriage aided by Suzannah's best friend, Margo, and his best
friend, Hank. Their effort to stop Beth goes uproariously awry
just as the boss arrives for that all-important dinner. Whether
you're married, single, rethinking your divorce or currently
being controlled by someone up to no good, you're sure to
enjoy this family-friendly, laugh-out-loud, fast paced farce!
