NEW THEATRE RESTAURANT DAY TRIPS 2011 - 2012 SEASON

The Group Office of the New Theatre Restaurant now considers Ozarkland Group Tours a "Season Group" membership for the 2011 - 2012 season!  As a Season Group member, we now have first priority to seating for the matinees in exchange for my commitment to bring a group of at least 12 people to all five shows of the season.  Due to a high demand for tickets, if we cancel a reservation or habitually late providing the New Theatre Restaurant the deposit (due 90 days before each event), final head count or final payment (due 30 days before each event), our Season Group status will be forfeited for the 2012 - 2013 season.  Seats can be added, if needed, to each show reservation beyond the current 14 reserved.  First-come-first-serve.

Rudy and/or Kathy will be your escort, Transportation provided, Matinee Show with a super Lunch with dessert included.  Departs Nevada Woods Super Market Parking Lot at 9:30 AM, back by 5:30 PM.

Saturday Matinee - November 5, 2011, 1:15 PM.  "Move Over Mrs. Markham" Starring: Loretta Swit.  Two time Emmy winner Loretta Swit, best known for the eleven years she spent playing Major Margaret Houlihan on M*A*S*H, stars in this chaotic comedy.  On display are the trials, tribulations and romantic misadventures of two book publishers, their wives, an interior designer, a maid, a children's book author, a management consultant, and a telephone operator, as they all converge on the same elegant apartment on the same warm summer evening.  "...fast-paced, crackling and very funny!" - NY Times.  14 Seats - Rows 4 & 8 Center

Wednesday Matinee - January 18, 2012, 1:15 PM.  "Game Show" Starring: John O'Hurley of Seinfeld, Family Feud, and Dancing with the Stars.  The comedy you play, GAME SHOW is set during a "live broadcast" of a fictional, long-running TV game show.  It places the theatre audience in the role of the TV studio audience, in which members are picked as the contestants to play the trivia-based game and win actual prizes.  In addition to watching and playing during the "broadcast" - where anything can and does happen - the audience also witnesses all the backstage, back-stabbing antics "behind the scenes" that go on during the "commercial breaks" of GAME SHOW.  "It's a cross between a quiz program and "Survivor" with more plot twists than you'll see in a year of soaps!  The surprise of the new season!" - NY Times.  14 Seats - Rows 7 & 8 Right

Wednesday Matinee - February 22, 2012, 1:15 PM.  "Pump Boys & Dinettes" Starring: Gregory Harrison from Trapper John MD and One Tree Hill.  Pump Boys & Dinettes is an experience beyond description. It's a phenomenally entertaining event that leaves you laughing, tapping your feet and humming tunes.  Part musical, part concert, part review, part theatre and 100% amazing.  On Highway 57, somewhere between Frog Level and Smyrna, stands a gas station and a diner.  The pump boys have been known to do some auto repairs, but only when aided by large quantities of time and beer, while the dinettes celebrate their home cooking alongside the boys with charm and enthusiasm. The actors perform their music live on stage with guitars, piano, bass and even kitchen utensils. With the audience involved throughout the show, they bring you their musical tribute to "life by the roadside."  "Can you spell ‘Irresistible'?"  - NY Times.  14 Seats - Rows 8 & 9 Left

Saturday Matinee - April 7, 2012, 1:15 PM.  "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" Starring: Richard Karn.  Richard Karn, best known for playing the role of AI Borland, Tim Allen's handy sidekick on the hugely popular HOME IMPROVEMENT stars in this hilarious musical comedy about six young school kids, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, finding out that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. "A Full Crock of Foot-Stomping Charm"  - NY Times.  14 Seats - Rows 7 & 8 Right

Saturday Matinee - July 7, 2012, 1:15 PM.  "Hairspray" - starring Kansas City's own Jim Korinke & Cathy Barnett.  In HAIRSPRAY, it's 1962 - the 50's are out and change is in the air.  Baltimore's Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, has only one passion - to dance. She wins a spot on the locally dance program, "The Corny Collins Show" and, overnight, is transformed from outsider to irrepressible teen celebrity.  But can a trendsetter in dance and fashion vanquish the program's reigning princess, win the heart of heartthrob Link Larkin, and integrate a television show without denting her 'do?  Only in HAIRSPRAY. Welcome to the 60's!  Winner of eight Tony Awards including Best Musical "...funny, deliriously tuneful comedy"- NY Times.  14 Seats - Rows 7 & 8 Center
