This year’s “Roast of the Coast” is a Tour de Farce satirically skewering all things Laguna Beach. Now in its 33rd year and having been awarded Best Arts Program by the Laguna Beach Arts Alliance in 2024, it is still going strong! This edition features parody songs about the new Surf Museum, the new LBUSD Superintendent, LBPD mounted officers (on horses…not each other), empty store fronts and, of course, goats. Locals will laugh ‘til they cry, and out-of-towners will cry because their city isn’t nearly as entertaining.

You won't believe the mayhem – and the fun – when the Herdmans collide head-on with the story of Christmas! This delightful show is adapted from the bestselling Young Adult book, and has become a holiday staple for groups across the United States. The crowd-pleasing comedy features plenty of great roles for children and adults, a few favorite Christmas Carols, and lots of laughs.

A musical that takes place in Trenton, NJ? Yes – and a delightfully funny one, too. I Love My Wife is about a would-be ménage-à-quatre: two couples who want to plunge into liberated mutual sexuality but only manage to get their toes wet. The husbands are Wally, a public relations man, and his friend Alvin, who’s in the furniture moving business. Their respective wives in this escapade are Monica and Cleo. They are supported by four of their male friends who sing back-up, have their own songs and participate in the action.
“Bright, inventive, and breezy… vastly diverting and highly amusing.” – The New York Times
“[A] tasteful marriage of music, laughs and all-around fun… best new entertainment this year.” – WABC-TV

Music & Lyrics by Jerry Herman
In this dynamic musical revue, three Divas and six singing and dancing women celebrate the music of Jerry Herman, highlighting the broad spectrum of thrilling material he wrote specifically for female performers. This Broadway hit features all the best songs for women from such immortal musicals as Mame, Hello Dolly!, Milk and Honey, Mack and Mabel, A Day in Hollywood/A Night in the Ukraine and La Cage Aux Folles.
Jerry’s Girls is a captivating tribute to the all-American master of song Jerry Herman that brings the 'larger-than-life' women from such shows center stage: matchmaker Dolly Gallagher Levi of Hello, Dolly!, exuberant Auntie Mame Dennis of Mame, the benignly eccentric Countess Aurelia of Dear World, screen legend Mabel Normand of Mack and Mabel, and the flamboyant ZaZa of La Cage Aux Folles.
It affectionately celebrates his special gift for writing songs that capture the true spirit of the American musical theatre. The all-female cast will remind us of how Jerry Herman has given voice to some of the most iconic roles, ballads and show-stoppers ever written for Broadway. A winner of the Tony, Grammy, Olivier, and Drama Desk Awards, Jerry Herman is the master tunesmith of our time.
“Warm, witty, lively and terrific!” – Associated Press
“A brilliantly, lively and scintillating evening of cabaret.” – The New York Times
“A show of tremendous musicality and great wit.” – Variety
“This cabaret-style compilation show is a tribute to Herman’s craft as a popular tunesmith. The result... is undemanding and uplifting, old-school showbiz fun.” – The Times
