Butterflies Are Free
by Leonard Gershe
Directed by Linda M. Granger March 7, 8, 14 & 15, 2014* Set in New York at the end of the "Swinging Sixties", Don Baker, the hero of his mother's children's books, "Donny Dark", has been blind since birth. His over protective mother is devastated when he leaves home and moves into his own apartment to claim his independence and pursue his songwriting ambitions. There he meets "actress" Jill Tanner - as free-spirted as a butterfly, moving on from experience to experience. A romance ensues and when his mother meets Jill, her controlling instincts go into overdrive with hilariously touching results. "A lovely play. It is funny when it means to be, sentimental when it is so inclined, and heartwarming." - New York Daily News Nunsense - the MEGA Musical
By Dan Goggin
Directed by Dan Pappas Musical Direction by James Geer Choreography by Fran Norton May 9, 10, 16 & 17, 2014* The second longest running off-Broadway show in history has now been "SUPERSIZED" with seven additional characters, including Sister Julia - Child of God, a new musical number and enhanced dance numbers. An unfortunate convent cooking accident causes most of the order of the Little Sisters of Hoboken to die of botulism. In order to raise money to bury the four remaining sisters (temporarily stored in the freezer) the Sisters and Brothers of Hoboken (what's left of them) put on a riotous revue packed with hilarious, show-stopping song and dance numbers. |

Starlight to premiere comedy trio's newest work in 2013!
Nick, Linda, Jessie & Jamie in Asheville, NC
DELTA TOWNSHIP, MI -- Three of the most popularly produced living playwrights in the United States have tapped Starlight Dinner Theatre to be the home of their next world premiere.
Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten (www.joneshopewooten.com) have had more than 1,800 productions and 12,000 performances of their jointly-written comedies. Next season they will premiere the latest in the series of the Jones, Hope and Wooten comedies at Starlight.
Artistic Director Linda Granger has developed a working relationship with the playwrights through the Delta Township dinner theater performing their other works such as “Dearly Beloved,” “Christmas Belles,” “The Hallelujah Girls” and “Southern Hospitality.” Starlight will be opening one of their comedies, May 11, 12, 18 & 19, 2012, “The Red Velvet Cake War.”
Granger met the playwrights in 2008 when they were touring Michigan theaters. Starlight Theater hosted a picnic supper for them.
“During the evening we began to sense the passion with which Linda approaches theatrical productions and were impressed by the dedication of her loyal company members,” said Jones. “As the years have passed, we’ve marveled at her keen sense of detail and creativity as we’ve poured over the production photos from her shows she faithfully sends us. And we’ve been utterly delighted by Linda’s support of our work—she’s staged almost every comedy we’ve written and we’re tremendously grateful.”
The title has yet to be announced, but Starlight Dinner Theater will include it as their opening show of Season 9 in October 2013.
“We are thrilled with the prospect of a JONES HOPE WOOTEN World Premiere at the fabulous Starlight Dinner Theatre in Lansing in 2013,” Jones said. Meanwhile, Starlight opens “The Red Velvet Cake Wars” to keep their faithful audiences up to date on the latest happenings with the three Verdeen cousins of Sweetgum, Texas (just down the road from Fayro) whose love and warring will keep audiences in stitches.
