A musical based on the motion picture (1992). Featuring original music by Tony- and eight-time Oscar winner, Alan Menken (Newsies, Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors), this uplifting divine musical was nominated for five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. When glitzy diva, Deloris Van Cartier (Kelli Falls), witnesses a murder, she is forced to hide out until she can be a witness at his trial. The Mother Superior (Lynn Wilde) at the local convent agrees, reluctantly, to take her in temporarily. Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community but, in doing so, blows her cover. Soon, the gang is giving chase, only to find them up against Deloris and the power of her newly found sisterhood. This performance is full of fun for the whole family from opening to final bows. Show dates: Friday, Oct. 13, Saturday, Oct. 14 AND Oct 21, 2017 @ 7:30 p.m.
Sunday, Oct. 22, 2017 @ 2:00 p.m.

Created by John Kander & Fred Ebb and directed by Lynn Wilde Concannon, this very funny musical comedy features a show-within-a-show. When the leading lady mysteriously dies on stage the entire cast & crew are suspects. Now the cops have the whole theatre on lockdown and Detective Frank Cioffi must sort out the clues, including scheming understudies, financially motivated producers & feuding songwriting execs, to solve the crime. Because-as you know-the show must go on!! This show features 9 men & 9 women plus
many extra roles. Nominated for 8 Tony Awards!!!
Auditions will be held in November with performance dates of April 13-22, 2018 at the Jane Tasch Theatre. Rehearsals will begin in mid January. For more information call Lynn at 810.923.7705 or leave a message on the new hotline number.

THANK YOU TO OUR 2017/2018 SEASON SPONSOR

Audiences were entertained by our Spellers and enjoyed taking their turn in the spotlight and attempting to win the Bee!! Attendees were wonderfully catered to by the great staff at Whispering Pines Golf and Country Club. The Pinckney Players are excited to bring you dinner theatre and can’t wait to showcase another wonderful cast in the future. Where else can you get up close and personal with an actor?
For their April performances of Calendar Girls, the Pinckney Players proudly donated $5.00 from each ticket sold, along with the proceeds of the lobby raffle to the St. Joseph Mercy Brighton Cancer Center. The money was used to help purchase new companion seating for the chemotherapy infusion bays at the Center. The amount donated was over $6,000.00. Dr. Tara M. Breslin MD, Surgical Oncology Specialist, attended the opening
Night performance and spoke before curtain about the Center itself and thanked the Pinckney Players for collaborating with them. The Pinckney Players would in turn like to thank each and every person who supported their production. Whether you were part of the 20 person cast and crew, donated to the raffle baskets, or attended the performance and/or bought raffle tickets, you helped to
make this show and our partnership with the hospital a success! Director, Lynn Wilde Concannon, and Producer, Ann Langford, met with Development Director Kathryn Rusak to deliver the check. They are proud to be among the first theatres in southeastern Michigan to bring the poignant and uplifting story of the real-life “Calendar Girls“ to the stage. Its questions about cancer, personal struggles, courage, risk, friendship, and self-discovery were certainly thought provoking. This year marks the Pinckney Players 25th anniversary, and they are dedicated to bringing classics, musicals and new shows to Pinckney and the surrounding Livingston County communities.
Another successful adventure with the Bard. Thank you to everyone who
once again braved potential weather and enjoyed a wonderful weekend in
downtown Pinckney's Town Square park. Every year we are thrilled to bring
you this one of a kind experience. Join us again each year as we venture to
the park and bring you Shakespeare.
