The Hours of Anne: The Last Day in the Life of Anne Boleyn
MARCH
One-Woman Show
Myths and legends abound about Anne Boleyn, the second wife of England's King Henry VIII. The Hours of Anne explores the final day in the life of this young woman who met her ultimate destiny on the executioner's block. The Hours of Anne relies on historical records and the actual words of the young queen during the final hours of her short life. The audience is drawn into the Tower of London -- and then Tower Green -- as if having a chair set next to Anne Boleyn as she prepares for her fate.

The Silver Whistle
Melodrama & Oleo
This outrageously funny western takes place in the lobby of the Roaring Gulch Hotel, where the hero is found in hot pursuit of the villain. Here the story takes an unusual turn because the villain and hero are twin brothers. A the lady sheriff, an evil proprietress, a stranded actress, and a nutty villainous sidekick add to this the blazing, rip-roaring, pistol packing comedy for young and old alike.
