July 9 – July 24 Summer Youth Musical – Main Stage

The story concerns Frederic, who, having completed his 21st year, is released from his apprenticeship to a band of tenderhearted pirates. He falls in love with Mabel, the daughter of Major-General Stanley. Frederic finds out, however, that he was born on February 29, and so, technically, he only has a birthday each leap year. The pirates state that he must remain apprenticed to them until his 21st birthday and must serve for another 63 years. Mabel agrees to wait for him faithfully. Lots of Pirates, lots of police and lots of FUN!!

In 1996, The Texas Trailhands started making a kind of music they call "cowboy swing,"  which translates to fun contemporary and classic swing tunes with a splash of serial western.  They have performed all over Southwestern and Western United States, and they have a truckload of awards:
Academy of Western Artists Western Group of the Year,
Western Music Association Western Swing Group of the Year
Western Music Association Western Swing Album of the Year
Three Grammy Award nominations, 2005.

Dixie Swim Club chronicles the reunion of a college girls swim team who
meet annually to share their lives with each other.  The production
highlights four of these reunions.  Twenty three years after college, five
years after that, again five years later and concludes with the women at
age 77.  This delightful play brings to life all the trials, triumphs,
tears and laughs of Sheree, Lexie, Dina, Jeri Neal, and Vernadette.

Directed by David Cerreta
