Productions

We specialize in original broad comedy farces that are fun and

entertaining for the entire family audience, from 4 to 104!

You take your seats. The music plays. The theater darkens. The stage lights brighten and an evening of incredibly enchanting entertainment begins, “under the stars.” You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll laugh some more, and you’ll leave with a family memory that will “last a lifetime.” Clean and clever family entertainment, that’s what we’re all about.  And yes, even if you have never seen or read the books and movie series “Harry Potter,” or experienced “Les Miserable,” “Phantom of the Opera” or Country Music, you and your whole group will be totally entertained at our performances. We guarantee it! Kids, teens, parents and grandparents all LOVE the zany antics of our shows at Theater Under The Stars.  It’s all about the family at our theater, so don’t come alone (unless you have no choice). Our goal is to make Theater Under The Stars the highlight of your vacation in Lake Chelan, your summer, your life (well, maybe that’s an exaggeration...but only maybe), I guarantee it, or my name isn’t Phineas T. Pendergast! (Come to think of it, my name isn’t Phineas T. Pendergast!). But come anyway, you know you want to!. (Scroll down to see all 4 shows we have presented in the past). Once we are clear to perform again, check here for an announcement of what two productions we will be presenting  (See below for our current four productions).

What if the classic movie monsters

merged with the teens of the twilight

saga...and then they all sang

classic 80’s rock tunes?

This show is currently on hiatus. The old movie monster Drac U. La is the father of Edward and has a comedy side- kick named Igor. He has manipulated land values to go down in Spoons WA (Forks was already taken) and arrives to purchase all of the cheap real estate in a “buy low, sell high” scheme. Angsty teenager Bella, the daughter of Broom Hilda Button (who runs the bed and breakfast in an old dilapidated castle) meets and falls for Edward. But, the B & B’s maintenance man Jake has a raging crush on Bella. So, Bella still has to choose between hunky vampire Edward and hairy teen heart-throb Jake, (all the while Jake slowly keeps turning into a werewolf over the course of the show, right in front of your eyes). Being a musical, each character gets to sing a classic 80’s rock tune which reflects their angst.  A clean and clever conclave of classic rock mixed with classic kitsch! Your entire family will love it!  hiatus.

-Or- Is A Dead-Magician An

“Abra-Cadaver”?

This show is currently on hiatus. Our flagship show that started it all. Spend two hours of fun-filled villainy “booing” the villain and “cheering” the hero! Diamond Lil’s last ditch attempt to save her beloved Golden Garter theater involves booking a “big” act, and so she does, The Magnificent Marvello. No one knows that’s he really a con man who sells his magic props, name and reputation to an unsuspecting young magician named Ernest. So, when the law comes knocking, will Ernest and The Golden Garter take the fall and the real Marvello may get off, “scott free”? Plus, this  melodrama features a magic-theme, so not only will your funny bone be tickled, your eyes will “pop” out of their sockets at the amazing and mystifying effects.      Experiencing this show with your family will tickle your funny bone and take your breath away! (Don’t worry, all confiscated breaths will be returned prior to anyone returning home).

A musical-comedy-spoof-hybrid

fracturing for fun the popular cultural

icons “Harry Potter” and

“High School Musical”

This show is currently on hiatus.  Imagine the musical kids of “High School Musical” cross- pollinating with the magical cast of “Harry Potter” and that’s what “Perry Hotter & The High School Musical Musical” is…a hilarious hodge-podge of magical-musical merriment and mayhem.  “Laugh ‘til your cheeks hurt” as the boy wizard “Perry Hotter” attempts to save Hagworts and get the girl, Gabby- Ella, by starring in the all-school musical! Can the sorcerer sing and dance? Will Perry succeed or will he crash and burn? Will Ron Weasel get his “Digditch” team to play basketball or will he crash and burn? Will the evil Volvo- Mart jinx the musical and close down Hagworts or will he crash and burn? Will Hermini outsmart Gaby-Ella and win the Scholastic Tournament or will she crash and burn? All these questions and more are answered in our clean family comedy musical farce extravaganza…Perry Hotter & The High School Musical! Hagworts is under a trance, but can the boy-wizard save it by learning to sing and dance? Don’t Miss the “magic”!

A comedic collision of

three corn-ball classics

This show is currently on hiatus. The broad comedy farce that answers the question “What would you get if you mashed up Les Miserable’, Phantom of the Opera and The Grand Ole Op’ry?” Our latest musical comedy mash-up mixes two broadway classics with country music and then adds a lot of cornball hillybilly hijinks. We know it will be nutritious as it will feature lots of ham, cheese and corn! Country music legend Carlotta Pantene secretly plans to tear down the Knotso Grand Op’ry and build an amusement park centered around her! It’s up to escaped convict and country singer Joe Banjo, his daughter Pristine and the mysterious “Op’ry Ghost” to save the Op’ry from the wrecking ball. Music from Les Miz, Phantom and the Country genre are all parodied and skewered in this hilarious musical mash up. Audiences love it, so don’t miss it. Returning summer 2019.
