OKLAHOMA!
Rodgers &
Hammerstein's first collaboration, set in a
Western Indian territory
just after the turn of the century. The high-spirited
rivalry between the local farmers and cowboys provides the
colorful background against which Curly, a handsome cowboy, and
Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story. Although
the road to true love never runs smooth, with these two headstrong
romantics holding the reins, love's journey is as bumpy as a
surrey ride down a country road. That they will succeed in making
a new life together we have no doubt, and that this new life will
begin in a brand-new state provides the ultimate climax to the
triumphant
OKLAHOMA!

A CHRISTMAS STORY
Called “Jean Shepherd’s joyous celebration of
childhood.” Humorist
Jean Shepherd's memoir of growing up in the midwest in the 1940s
follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine
Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas. Ralphie pleads his
case before his mother, his teacher and even Santa Claus himself,
at Goldblatt's Department Store. The consistent response:
"You'll shoot your eye out." All the elements from the
beloved motion picture are here, including the family's
temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully;
the boys' experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the
Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; Ralphie's father winning a lamp
shaped like a woman's leg in a net stocking; Ralphie's fantasy
scenarios and more.

THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS
Nick is a single, Italian-American guy from
New Jersey
. His parents retired and moved to
Florida
. That doesn't mean his family isn't still in
Jersey
. In fact, he sees both sets of his grandparents every Sunday for
dinner. This is routine until he has to tell them that he's been
offered a dream job. The job he's been waiting for—marketing
executive—would take him away from his beloved, but annoying,
grandparents. He tells them. The news doesn't sit so well. Thus
begins a series of schemes to keep Nick around. How could he
betray his family's love to move to
Seattle
, for a job, wonder his grandparents? Well, Frank, Aida, Nunzio
and Emma do their level best, and that includes bringing to dinner
the lovely—and single—Caitlin O'Hare as bait…we won't give
the ending away here.

THE SPITFIRE GRILL
A feisty parolee follows her dreams, based on a
page from an old travel book, to a small town in
Wisconsin
and finds a place for herself working at Hannah's Spitfire Grill.
It is for sale but there are no takers for the only eatery in the
depressed town, so newcomer Percy suggests to Hannah that she
raffle it off. Entry fees are one hundred dollars and the best
essay on why you want the grill wins. Soon, mail is arriving by
the wheelbarrow full and things are definitely cookin' at the
Spitfire Grill.
