The LOONEY Lutherans in
"LIVIN' LA VIDA LUTHERAN"
DATES/TIMES:
Saturday, March 28th at 7:00 pmSunday, March 29th at 2:00 pm
​
Join the Looney Lutherans at The Amana Performing Arts Center as they take you on their journey to a JOYFUL HEART.
From the writers of Church Basement Ladies, The Looney Lutherans are a trio of wacky gals who use music and comedy to share their age-old wisdom for living a long and lively life, the Lutheran way. In LIVIN’ LA VIDA LUTHERAN (inspired by the Ricky Martin song!) they introduce you to the “6HHP” - the 6 “Happy Heart” petals. Using their tips, you, too, can have a joyful heart. Segments include the Menopause Medley, a disco salute to Hotdish, Lutheran Yoga, and do-it-yourself Beauty Tips. You might even be invited to join Bella in a simple exercise routine using items found in your very own home. Material is comedic and family friendly, and you don’t have to be Lutheran to love ‘it!
The idea for the “Looney Lutherans” was cooked up in 2006 when the founding members were appearing in the cast of the hit musical CHURCH BASEMENT LADIES. The company has since expanded to include additional “Loonies” - all talented women who have been performing for years as professional actresses, writers, singers, and improvisers. As the Looney Lutherans they have appeared together at numerous Fairs and Festivals, around the country.

The SUNSHINE BOYS
By Neil Simon
DATES: Sept 25-27
SHOW TIMES:
Fridays & Saturdays: 7:30 pm
Sundays: 3:00 pm
ABOUT THE SHOW
Al and Willie as “Lewis and Clark” were top-billed vaudevillians for over forty years. Now they aren’t even speaking. When CBS requests them for a “History of Comedy” retrospective, a grudging reunion brings the two back together, along with a flood of memories, miseries, and laughs. The story follows the attempt by a young theatrical agent to reunite his elderly uncle, a former vaudevillian great, with his long-time stage partner for a TV reunion. Despite their celebrated reputation, the two old men have not spoken in twelve years. Besides remastering their sketch, the two men have numerous issues to work out before they are ready to return to the public eye.
Reviews:
“It’s ham on wry [...] Simon’s sure-footed craftsmanship and his one liners are as exquisitely apt as ever.” – New York Post
“Another hit for Simon in a shrewdly balanced, splendid and rather touching slice of the show biz life.” – New York Daily News

A 1940's RADIO CHRISTMAS CAROL
By: Walton Jones, David Wohl, Faye Greenberg
DATES:
DEC 4, 5, 6
11, 12, 13​
SHOW TIMES:
Fridays & Saturdays: 7:30 pm
Sundays: 3:00 pm
ABOUT THE SHOW
Your heart will sing with this long-awaited sequel to the popular1940's Radio Hour. It's Christmas Eve, 1943, and the Feddington Players are now broadcasting from a hole-in-the-wall studio in Newark, NJ, and set to present their contemporary "take" on Dickens's A Christmas Carol. Whether it's the noisy plumbing, missed cues, electrical blackouts, or the over-the-top theatrics of veteran actor, but radio novice, William St. Claire, this radio show is an entertaining excursion into the mayhem and madness of a live radio show. St. Claire's escalating foibles and acting missteps propel the show to a simultaneously comedic and heart-wrenching dramatic climax: St. Claire has an on-air breakdown and begins to connect his own life with that of the classic Dickens tale. In order to "save the show," the company improvises an ending to Charles Dickens' classic as a film noir mystery, featuring a hardboiled detective, a femme fatale, and an absurd rescue of Tiny Tim (and the Lindbergh baby) from the clutches of a villain named Rudolf!
