THE TALE OF THE ALLERGIST’S WIFE
comedy by Charles Busch; Oklahoma premiere
September 5 - 27, 2003
A wicked social satire, ALLERGIST is the story of Marjorie Taub, an Upper Westside New Yorker in the throes of a
mid-life crisis, and how her life is transformed when a fascinating childhood friend reappears for a mysterious visit.
BECAUSEHECAN
thriller by Arthur Kopit; Oklahoma premiere
October 17 - November 8, 2003
He calls himself ISeeU, but you can’t see him. And if it’s you he wants, nothing can stop him. Using his computer
prowess, a young man propels an unsuspecting couple into their worst nightmare by rewriting their identities and
draining their bank accounts. The couple even begins to doubt each other as the techno-thriller becomes a game
of cyber-survival.
THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS
Book by Larry L. King & Peter Masterson; Music & Lyrics by Carol Hall
November 28 - December 20, 2003
This happy-go-lucky musical recounts the good times and the demise of the Chicken Ranch, known since the 1850s
as one of the best pleasure palaces in Texas. Governors, senators, mayors and college football teams frequent Miss
Mona’s bordello, until that puritanical nemesis Melvin P. Thorpe focuses his TV cameras and his righteous indignation
on the institution. This was a hugely popular success in Carpenter’s original warehouse theatre, so we’re bringing it
back for our 20th Anniversary!
PROOF
drama by David Auburn; Oklahoma City premiere
January 9 - 31, 2004
PROOF explores the mysteries of love as much as the mysteries of mathematics. Catherine must deal with the death
of her brilliant, but unstable father and the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire. Hal, a former math student of her
father’s, is searching through the professor’s old notebooks. As Catherine confronts Hal’s affections and Claire’s
expectations, she struggles to solve the most perplexing problem of all: How much of her father’s madness - or genius
- will she inherit?
INCORRUPTIBLE
farce by Michael Hollinger; Oklahoma premiere
February 20 - March 13, 2004
A light comedy about the Dark Ages! Welcome to a monastery in France circa 1250 A.D. where a ragtag assortment of
monks have a small problem. The bones of their patron saint haven’t produced a miracle in thirteen years. No miracles
means no pilgrims, thus no donations, thus no money to feed and clothe the local peasants. All seems lost until a
larcenous one-eyed minstrel teaches them an outrageous new way to make money, and they’re back on top!
THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN
comedy-drama by Martin McDonagh; Oklahoma premiere
March 26 - April 17, Sunday matinee on April 4 of second week
On the remote island of Inishmaan, off the west coast of Ireland, peeping, prying and prurience are favored pastimes.
As word spreads that a Hollywood director is coming to the neighboring island of Inishmore to film “Man of Aran,” the
one person who wants to be in the film more than anybody is young Cripple Billy. “McDonagh has a way of mixing up
his humor with a touch of the poet and a profound sense of tragedy always dangerously lurking on comedy’s untidy
fringe.” - N.Y. Post
TBA Comedy
May 7 - 29, 2004
This spot will be filled by the Oklahoma City premiere of a light-hearted comedy. Titles under consideration include:
n Steve Martin’s THE UNDERPANTS - described as “a hilarious, over-the-top farce.” Here Theo Maske’s panties
are in a wad because his wife’s panties fell down in public. Not since Monica Lewinsky’s thong almost toppled a
presidency has a pair of panties caused such a fuss!
n Claudia Shear’s DIRTY BLONDE, a comedy with music that puts the bawdy Mae West back onstage.
n Master farceur Ray Cooney’s CAUGHT IN THE NET is the story of a taxi driver who keeps two separate families
that are blissfully unaware of each other until his teen-age son and daughter meet on the Internet.
n Michael Cooney’s farce CASH ON DELIVERY! about a con artist who has duped the welfare system for years, but
now that he’s ready to come clean it’s not so easy to “kill off” his many aliases.
THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW
Book, Music & Lyrics by Richard O’Brien
June 18 - July 17, 2004, Sunday matinee on June 27 of the second week
That sweet transvestite and his motley crew are doing the time warp again at CST in honor of our 20th anniversary!
Rocky was Carpenter’s first production lo those many years ago. Complete with sass from the audience and an array of
audience participation props, this campy, cult musical is a celebration of 1950s B sci-fi flicks, spiced up with rock music,
all set in Dr. Frank-n-Furter’s castle. No 8 p.m. show on Saturday, July 4th. This is a 5-week run.
Tickets are now available online.
