| | The BRIDGES of Madison County
Book by Marsh Norman; Music and Lyrics by Jason Robert Brown
Based on the novel by Robert James Waller
Based on the best-selling novel, The Bridges of Madison County captures the lyrical expanse of America's heartland along with the yearning entangled in the eternal question "What if...?" Francesca Johnson, a beautiful Italian woman who married an American soldier to flee war-ravaged Italy, looks forward to a rare four days alone on her Iowa farm when her family heads to the 1965 State Fair. When ruggedly handsome photographer, Robert Kincaid, pulls into her driveway seeking directions, what happens in those four days may very well alter the course of Francesca's life.

Music by Tom Snow Lyrics by Dean Pitchford
Based on the original screenplay by Dean Pitchford Additional lyrics by Eric Carmen, Sammy Hagar, Kenny Loggins, and Jim Steinman
FOOTLOOSE celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people and guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind. When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school What he isn't prepared for are the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher. When the reverend's rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren's reputation with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid. The heartfelt story that emerges is of a father longing for the son he lost and of a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.
