The Mystery of Edwin Drood ~ At the hit Broadway musical The Mystery of Edwin Drood, you finish the story Charles Dickens didn’t! It’s the only show in town that ends differently every night, depending on what the audience decides. Take a trip back in time to a Victorian music hall where a rowdy ensemble of actors mounts a staging of Charles Dickens’ unfinished novel. Everyone on stage is a suspect in the murder of young Edwin Drood. Is it John Jasper, Edwin’s protective but slightly maniacal uncle? Rosa Bud, his reluctant betrothed? The debauched Princess Puffer? The ending of each performance is up to you! Drood debuted as a Southern California premiere at RTF in 1988.

The Three Cuckolds - Commedia dell'arte. Loosely translated: the art of comedy. A theatrical form popular in 16th-century Italy centering on stories of love and intrigue, with stock characters like the young lovers, the rich old man, and the comic servant, and improvised moments of off-the-cuff mayhem, known as lazzi, tossed in to further spice the loud, broad, energetic mix. Quite possibly Cabanilla’s favorite play and undoubtedly his preferred genre, Cuckolds was first shown on the RTF stage in 1991.

Quilters ~ Ostensibly the story of a pioneer woman and her six daughters, blends a series of inter-related scenes into a rich mosaic

which captures the sweep and beauty, the terror and joy, the harsh challenge and abiding rewards of frontier life. Illuminating stories contained in various patches or "blocks" with music, dance, and drama, the action depicts the lot of women on the frontier: girlhood, marriage, childbirth, spinsterhood, twisters, fire, illness and death. But, with this, there is also love, warmth, rich and lively humor, and the moving spec-

The 25th Annual Put-nam County Spelling Bee-A Tony Award-winning musical come-dy. Six young people in the throes of puberty,

overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a looser. “Spelling Bee” has been hailed by the Wall Street Journal as “perfection every possible way—that rarity of rarities, a super-smart musical that is also a bonafide crowd pleas-er.” This tuneful, offbeat and at times heartworking show offers audience members the opportunity (strictly voluntary) to become part of the action as on-stage spellers. The New York Times calls “Spelling Bee” irresistible, riotously funny and remarkably ingen-ious-gold stars all around”. Spelling Bee became an audience favorite at the Redlands Theatre Festival in 2010.

Bullshot Crummond – This parody of 1030’s low-budget grade ‘B’ detective movies typifies British heroism at its dumbest. The pro-duction derives its humor from the audacious attempt to transpose effects normally reserved for films to the stage. Teutonic villain, Otto von Brunno and his evil mistress, crash their plane in the Eng-lish countryside and kidnap Professor Fenton, who has discovered a formula for making synthetic diamonds. Bullshot Crummond is called to the rescue, so crazy antics and intrigue ensue! An evening of all-around fun. Bullshot first debuted at RTF in 1979.
