My Way – A Tribute to Frank Sinatra is by David Grapes and Todd Olson. The audience is invited to take a trip down memory lane and relive the musical legacy of one of America’s greatest icons. This enchanting musical revue includes 60 of Sinatra’s hits, including “Fly Me to the Moon,” “Strangers in the Night,” “That Old Black Magic” and “New York, New York.”

Jaston Williams’ and Ed Howard’s Greater Tuna revolves around two actors who portray all 20 citizens of Greater Tuna, Texas’ third smallest town, where the Lion’s Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies. Greater Tuna’s success has launched multiple sequels, include A Tuna Christmas and Red, White and Tuna.

The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, with music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by E.Y. Harburg, is a classic. After a tornado whisks her to the magical land of Oz, Kansas farm girl Dorothy Gale teams up with a Scarecrow, a Tin Woodsman and a Cowardly Lion to avoid the clutches of the Wicked Witch of the West to find the mighty Wizard who can send her home.
