Celebrating 35 Years of Terrific Theater!

At the Great American Melodrama and Vaudeville, theatergoers are welcomed into a comfortable atmosphere of cabaret tables with sawdust on the floor and honky-tonk piano music in the air. Here, professional performers from all over the United States gather to present top-notch productions of great classic comedies, musicals and melodramas. Plus, every show includes a wonderful vaudeville revue full of song, dance and comedy. It's "not-to-be missed" fun for everyone!

In 2010, we will continue our special weekday matinees on four Thursdays, replacing our usual 7 pm performance with a 2 pm matinee. These special matinee days wil be on February 4, March 18, May 13 and October 14, 2010.

 

2010 brings about changes in our seating, as we have switched out some table seating for the popular center pew seating and renumbered the seats.  Be sure to check out the new seating chart!

 

All of us here at the Melodrama thank you for your continued support of live theater, and hope to see you many times this year!
 

A crock of gold - a jar full of ill-gotten wealth hidden away in a cupboard - is the centerpiece of this thrilling play that has all the elements of classic melodrama!  There's a despicable villain who will stop at nothing to further his schemes, a virtuous heroine who must resist his advances, and an honest but poor man who finds himself sorely tempted by an unexpected discovery.  With a murder, false accusations, surprise revelations, and a comic couple to liven the action, this blend of melodrama and comedy is loaded with opportunities for boos, cheers and laughter!
 

 

On a dark and stormy night a wild wind blows all sorts of oddball characters into Freeman's Tavern - a mysterious vagabond, a damsel in distress, a politician and his daughter and her fiance'.  A thief is on the loose, suspicions abound, and no one is who they seem!  Mix in the irritable innkeeper and two thwarted lovers and you have a show that guarantees hilarity, mystery and madcap fun!  One of the most popular plays written by one of American's greatest showmen!
