HAPPY HUNTING
Book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse / Lyrics by Matt Dubey / Music by Harold Karr


directed by SUZANNE ADAMS

musical direction by TED KOCIOLEK
choreography by CHRISTINE SCHWALENBERG


Rich, widowed Philadelphia hostess, Liz Livingstone perceives a snub at the Grace Kelly-Prince Rainier
"Wedding of the Year" in Monaco and sets out to snare a dashing Duke husband for her daughter. Things get
complicated when she succeeds... and then promptly falls for her intended son-in-law herself!  This bubbly,
light-hearted romp was a star vehicle written for the incomparable Ethel Merman. It features a gag-filled book by the
authors of ANYTHING GOES and a score featuring the Merman classic, "Mutual Admiration Society."

Career girl Alice Van Gelder is not content to settle down and get married like
the rest of the nice young ladies, so she decides to become a burglar instead -
preying on the very upper-crust society she's rebelling against. Pursued by a
nebbish detective, Alice - also known as The Cat! - finds herself enjoying the
pursuit a little too much. Drat! The Cat! opened on Broadway on October 10,
1965 at the Martin Beck Theatre and only ran for 8 performances, leaving behind
a great score including the popular hit "She Touched Me".

FLORA, THE RED MENACE is a musical set in 1935, a time when many young idealists thought Communism could lead America out of the Depression and into a better world.  It’s a story about a young woman determined to make it in New York, whose love for a radical WPA artists leads her to join the Communist Party.  This was the first collaboration between John Kander and Fred Ebb, written in 1965.  Like Cabaret and Chicago, it features a headstrong heroine with passion and idealism, and has a strong dose of political content.  FLORA, THE RED MENACE opened on Broadway at the Alvin Theatre on May 11, 1965 and ran for 87 performances.  At 19 years of age, Liza Minnelli won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her portrayal of Flora. A revised version appeared off-Broadway in 1987.

"Imagining Brad" has been with me for a long time.  I saw a production almost 9 years ago that struck me so deeply I am now exploring it as a director.  When I re-read it I remembered very little of the performances, content or physical structure of the play, but I did recall how I felt when the curtain came down and it was my turn to allow this journey to play on my mind.  I was extremely disturbed... yet touched.  This is not a play about victims.  It is a play about real people.  Survivors.  And overall, it is a play about finding love and friendship in the most unlikely of circumstances.  "Imagining Brad" speaks of the many levels of humanity.  Good and bad.  You may love this play or you may hate it.  Maybe you will feel both.  But you will find it hard to feel indifferent.  ~Suzanne Adams

The voices here are terrific - Suzanne Adams exhibits fine comic timing
as the tomboy Peppermint Patty, and she’s got a strong voice,
whether belting or using her soprano in the very pretty song “Poor Sweet Baby.”
