September 18th ~ October 11th, 2008The action takes place in a run-down nightclub in Trujillo, Honduras. Third-rate impresario Pepe Hernandez brashly announces that he is bringing a group of famous international cabaret stars to perform in town. He persuades the local Coca-Cola bottling plant to back the show in exchange for some blatant product placement. With no stars willing to make the journey or ruin their reputation, Pepe is forced to substitute his untalented family and palm them off as the celebrities. It’s showtime for Pepe’s disastrous production of Parada de Estrellas (Parade of the Stars).
It's the REAL THING!

Dolores Hydock brings another amazing show
to TNT! You don't have to be Hamlet, Willy Loman, or Hedda Gabler to be worthy of a full-length play - - you can be a librarian. A puzzling mystery begins when a Dutch assistant-acquisitions librarian finds an overdue book in the overnight slot and becomes determined to track down the offender...especially since the book is 113 years overdue. As her endeavors continue, she finds herself on a journey that unlocks ancient mysteries and moves her to new revelations. |

Sou †hern Baptist Sissies |
Follows the journey of four gay boys in the Baptist Church.
Storyteller Mark Lee Fuller tries to create a world of love and acceptance in

put his own pain and rage. The world Mark creates also includes two older
barflies, Peanut and Odette, whose banter takes the audience from hysterical
laughter to tragedy and tears. With a theme of religion clashing with sexuality, the play opened to rave reviews in Los Angeles during its original run in 2000 and became the most awarded play of the year, winning the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding LA Theatre Production. |
