Annie (± 2,5 hrs)
This popular Tony Award-winning Broadway musical is based upon the Harold Gray comic strip, Little Orphan Annie, with music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin, and the book by Thomas Meehan. It includes the songs, Tomorrow, and It's A Hard-Knock Life.
The show tells the story of Annie, an eleven-year-old orphan who as a small baby was abandoned by her parents. After escaping the clutches of the tyrannical Miss Hannigan, she finds herself at the residence of the wealthy industrialist, Oliver Warbucks whose heart (and many others) she quickly charms. He offers to help her find her parents by offering a reward but this leads to numerous false claims.

The Myth of Andrew and Jo (± 1,25 hrs)
PG 16
Andrew and Lawrence are lovers; Jo and Saartjie are lovers. Jo and Andrew meet in a club, suitably ‘intoxicated’ they go to Jo’s flat… and wake up ‘the morning after’ realising that, ‘Yes, they’ve done it!’ Are their respective lovers furious? Or aren’t they? The result of ‘having done it’ is a pregnancy, a child, and high comic chaos.
At the Absolut Gay Theatre Festival Dublin in May 2010 the production received nominations for Best Supporting Actress, Best Playwright and won the Best Actress Award.
Patrons are advised that there is strong language and partial nudity in the production.

Night & Day – Cole Porter in dance (± 1,75 hrs)
The ageless appeal of Cole Porter’s music is interpreted in dance, bringing to life the melodies and characters that are misted over in the nostalgia of the 1940’s and 1950’s, when Porter was the master of the musicals.

The Taming of the Shrew (± 2,5 hrs)
The Taming of the Shrew, Shakespeare’s most popular comedy, lights up the Maynardville Open-Air Theatre summer season.
Christopher Sly, a congenial drunk flung out of a bar by the pub’s Hostess, falls into a deep sleep and dreams a dream. That dream is the story of the taming of Katherine, the Shrew, by Petruchio. This play-within-a-dream, with its wild and giddy uses of disguises, mistaken identities, and confusions provides consummate comedy for all. Circus owner Petruchio drags Katherine into a mad, topsy-turvy world of clowns, jugglers, tumblers, a lion and Petruchio’s spaniel, Troilus. Through this comic, and at times brutal chaos, two of Shakespeare’s most celebrated lovers encounter a rugged path to true love.
An Italian Circus is coming to Maynardville! Join us and revel in this fantastique story.
