Take one old geezer who likes to talk and talk…and talk! Put him in a run-down ramshackle cabin in the woods… add his two citified sisters and their families… throw in a will and a missing suitcase full of LOTS of money… and you have the formula for a weekend full of deception, arguments, and non-stop laughs! Written by Houston playwright Pat Cook, this hilarious comedy starts with a frantic process of searching for the money and ends up rekindling old memories and a yearning for old fashioned values that used to be important to the family. Directed by Tracy Clayton. “George’s gift is much more important than mere money, even though the relatives don’t see it that way – at first…”
Recommended for ages 8 through adult. Children under 3 are not permitted at Main Stage productions. The Playwright, Pat Cook, will host a free talk on June 12 after the show.

Houston Family Arts Center’s spring family musical is this fun, lively show based on Roald Dahl’s classic children’s story of the world-famous candy man, Willy Wonka, and his quest to find an heir. Young, good-natured Charlie wins one of five golden tickets hidden amongst thousands of Wonka chocolate bars. What have Charlie and the other four kids won? A tour through Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, led by the eccentric Wonka himself. The factory itself is like a fantasy world: crazy color schemes, wild inventions, secret rooms, busy Oompa Loompas, and lots and lots of delectable sweets. But Wonka has a hidden agenda, and during the tour he tests each child’s character and honesty. Directed by Josh Clark.
