GCP’s family-friendly Hello, Dolly! is serving up a healthy helping of happiness at Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theater.  Final three weeks!

Matchmaker Dolly Levi turns her clients’ lives upside down with her good-natured meddling, but it’s all in good fun when Dolly grants one heart’s desire after another. A lively plot bursting with beloved songs make Hello, Dolly! a delightful treat for all ages. Runs through July 17th. Rated G.

I Hate Hamlet is running to rave reviews at GCP’s 2nd Space Theatre.  A successful young TV star rents Barrymore’s former loft.

When the unadventurous actor resists taking on the dream role of Hamlet, Barrymore’s offended ghost appears.  Hilarity ensues as the famous apparition does battle with the evil forces of Hollywood, and compels the superficial celebrity to choose between the frightening challenge of Shakespeare and the easy money of Tinseltown.  Rated PG.          See the review.

Opening July 21 at Roger Rocka’s is the delightful My Fair Lady, hailed by critics and audiences for its heart and its wit.
Boasting a book, music and lyrics by Lerner and Loewe, My Fair Lady is a musical lover’s dream. With songs such as “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?,” “With a Little Bit of Luck,” “The Rain in Spain,” “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “On the Street Where You Live,” “Get Me to the Church on Time” and “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face”. Rated G
