DEPOT MAIN STAGE 2024 ANALOG AND VINYL Music and Lyrics by Paul Gordon Book by Paul Gordon & Michael Berresse

June 27- July 14 SPONSOR: The Brooks and Joan Fortune Family Foundation

Music and Lyrics by Paul Gordon Book by Paul Gordon & Michael Berresse

The delicious, devilish tale of Harrison, a young record shop owner in danger of losing his family’s store, Rodeo Girl, the seemingly spacey—yet weirdlywise—hipster obsessed with him, and a mysterious stranger who rocks their world with an offer they might not be able to refuse—and it’s not for vintage vinyl. With its refreshing funny take on what we’ll do for love, this smart eccentric musical blends a Nora Ephron sensibility with the Faustian legend.

A musical rom-com romp featuring a memorable score infused with the influences of Elvis Costello, the Beatles, and Brian Wilson!

RATED: PG-13 (Language)

Every Brilliant Thing

WRITTEN BY DUNCAN MACMILLAN WITH JONNY DONAHOE

EVERY BRILLIANT THING

By Duncan Macmillan With Jonny Donahoe

July 18 - August 4 SPONSOR: Mountain Lake PBS

A hilarious, heart-wrenching, and heart-warming play about the efforts of a young boy to will his mother to live by creating a list of all the best things in the world; everything worth living for. As both he and the list grow, he comes to recognize the deep significance it’s had on his own actions and how it helped shape his life.

Charming and delightful, EVERY BRILLIANT THING is a transcendent and tender coming-of-age journey that reminds us to pay attention to life’s smallest joys—and to each other.

RATED: PG-13

PUMP BOYS AND DINETTES

Book, Lyrics, and Music by John Foley, Mark Hardwick, Debra Monk, Cass Morgan, John Schimmel, and Jim Wann

August 8 – 25

BOOK, LYRICS, AND MUSIC BY JOHN FOLEY, MARK HARDWICK, DEBRA MONK, CASS MORGAN, JOHN SCHIMMEL AND JIM WANN

SPONSOR: Chazy Westport Communications

This crowd-pleasing boot-stomping country-western musical features Prudie and Rhetta Cupp, the generous gals from the Double Cupp Diner, singing and performing along with those talented guys from the gas station ‘cross the road.

While the Depot can’t offer the blue plate special or an oil change, PUMP BOYS AND DINETTES is guaranteed to have audiences bustin’ at the seams with down-home good feelings and fun. Don’t miss this rollicking downhome entertainment featuring such touching numbers as “The Night Dolly Parton Was Almost Mine,” “Fisherman’s Prayer,” and “Be Good or Be Gone” performed on guitars, piano, bass, and even random kitchen utensils. PUMP BOYS received unanimous raves on and off Broadway, (including on the Depot Theatre stage in 1997!).

RATED: PG
