Recession - The Musical

A New Musical Comedy by John Driscoll

Jan 16th Through Mar 14th

A musical revue about a live radio show in Nevada City that seeks to lift people's spirits during the current financial crisis by sharing some of the optimistic tone developed during The Great Depression and by promoting local business as a way to "bail ourselves out of this mess!" With lots of tongue-in-cheek humor, the show features the talents of Sue LeGate, Kris Stepanian, Chris Crockett, Richard Joplin, Darryl Stines and Katie Baker. And live musical accompaniment for over thirty popular songs from the entire twentieth century! Including Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries, which invites us to "live and laugh at it all."

The Rockin' Sixties Musical Soap Opera

By Melinda Gilb, Steve Gunderson & Bryan Scott

Last produced at Off Broadstreet twelve years ago, SUDS reunites OBS veterans Jan Kopp and Nancy Keith as two bumbling guardian angels (Dee Dee & Marge) who have come to earth to help Kris Stepanian (Cindy) with her troubled love life. They are joined by OBS favorite Richard Joplin, who plays "everybody else." Fast-paced, light-hearted humor and loads of songs from the "Bacharach 1960's" like Respect, Be My Baby, Chapel of Love, Secret Agent Man, Please Mr. Postman and 40 more!

 


Put Another Nickel In

A Musical Comedy by John Driscoll

Jun 12th through Aug 15th

Inspired by an actual Stanford University study conducted during the 1970's, the action of Put Another Nickel In takes place at a northern California retreat. A young research scientist studying the psychology of aging experiments with four elderly male musicians. Isolated from the rest of the world, the men are figuratively taken back in time to 1960 in the hope that their altered mental state will somehow reverse the aging process. The men are then introduced to the "doo-wop" effect as they form a vocal harmony group. Rising above poor eyesight, poor hearing and stiff muscles, they eventually make plans to strike out on their own, billing themselves as "The Four Seniors." Put Another Nickel In produces some surprises, light-hearted lessons and wonderful discoveries for everyone involved.

Put Another Nickel In stars OFF BROADSTREET regulars Nancy Keith, Chris Crockett, Darryl Stines, Ed Stamper and Chris LeGate and features delightful doo wop arrangements of popular 1950's songs, like Sh-Boom, Save The Last Dance For Me, In The Still of The Night, and other memorable songs by The Platters, The Coasters, The Flamingos, The Five Satins, The Ames Brothers, The Drifters, The Crewcuts, The Monotones, The Diamonds and others.
