Romance/Romance (July 25 - Aug. 4)

Book and Lyrics: Barry Harman

Music: Keith Herrmann

This is a premier for CST.

Synopsis: Two distinctive one-acts create an entertaining musical that explores the highs and lows of love. The first act is set in turn-of-the-century Vienna, and presents a rakish aristocrat and a saucy, world-weary woman who disguise themselves as paupers to find love. The second act, set in present day, is based on the play "Pain de Menage." Summering in the Hamptons, two best friends contemplate marriage and monogamy, promising fidelity to their spouses even as they play with the idea of an affair.

9 to 5: The Musical (Aug. 15-25)

Music and Lyrics: Dolly Parton

Book by Patricia Resnick

Rated PG, this is a CST premier.

Synopsis: Based on the 1980 hit movie. Pushed to the boiling point, three female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with their boss, a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot. They conspire to take control of the company, and learn there's nothing they can't do - even in a "man's world." Set in the late 1970s, 9 to 5: The Musical is a hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the rolodex era. Outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic, it's about teaming up and taking care of business.
