WaterTower Theatre announces 2007-2008 season

Theater company offering everything from Shakespeare to trailer parks next year.

The Addison-based theater company, WaterTower Theatre, has just released info for its 2007-2008 season, and it looks like a great variety of crowd-pleasers:

The Great American Trailer Park Musical, which was a hit at this year's Out of the Loop Festival, will start off the season from September 27 – October 21, 2007.
Rockin’ Christmas Party is the company's holiday show (not part of the mainstage production) as 6 of the hippest performers and a swingin’ live band “rock around the Christmas tree" and groove to Top 40 hits of the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s. The show will run November 29 – December 23, 2007.
As You Like It will be WaterTower's first Shakespearean production and will run January 17 – February 10, 2008.
The annual Out of the Loop Festival will be held from March 1-11, 2008 featuring plays from all different theater companies in the three different spaces at Addison Theatre Center.
The Foreigner, a hilarious comedy, will be held April 3 – 27, 2008 about Charlie Baker who is pathologically shy. He travels to a remote fishing lodge in rural Georgia and poses as a foreigner who can neither speak nor understand a word of English to distance himself. The plan backfires when he becomes the confidant for the locals' secrets and schemes.
Intimate Apparel will be the regional premiere of this piece from May 22 – June 15, 2008. It weaves together a moving and evocative portrait of one African-American woman’s search for love at the beginning of the 20th Century.
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum ends the season from July 17 – August 10, 2008. It is the Stephen Sondheim musical about a wily slave who schemes, cajoles and manipulates all of ancient Rome to win his freedom.
