2 p.m. matinees on Sunday, Oct. 20 and Saturday, October 26

A brother and sister buy an old charming house overlooking the Irish Sea from the village curmudgeon, who has a granddaughter that mysteriously lost her parents. These siblings quickly discover that the house is more sinister than charming. They are imperiled with a bone-chilling cold that permeates the house, a nursery emanating the sound of a weeping woman, the ominous scent of exotic perfume and wrathful apparitions that provoke them to solve the cause for the haunting if they can survive that long. This will be an experience you won’t soon forget.

  Red Velvet Cake War Jones Hope Wooten Gaslight Baker Theatre Lockhart TX

The Red Velvet Cake War

a slice of life comedy by Jones, Hope and Wooten

directed by David Schneider and John Lairsen

January 25 - February 16, 2013
"sneak peek" preview on Thursday, January 24; 2 p.m. matinees Sunday Feb 3 and Saturday, Feb 9


Are you ready to beat the post-holiday blues and the winter doldrums? Then attending the Gaslight Baker Theater’s production of The Red Velvet Cake War is a must. The GBT kicks off its 2013 season with this hilarious Jones, Wooten and Hope comedy. This trio of playwrights is currently the most widely produced playwrights in the country today. Co-Directed by David Schneider and John Lairsen, The Red Velvet Cake War’s Verdeen cousins, family and friends put the “fun” in dysfunctional!

The play opens with Gaynelle Verdeen , (hysterically played by Nina Bryant) who is watching her world unravel. She’s been acquitted of attempting to murder her ex-husband’s girlfriend and is appearing on Cee Cee Windham’s TV show “Hospitality House.” Cee Cee, played by Shaela Leggett-Wilson to syrupy perfection, is a vision of frothy pink, endowed with a perpetual “happy smile” and chirpy manner as long as the cameras are rolling.

Ellen Massey brings a sharp wit and equally sharp tongue to the Verdeen clan’s upper crust matriarch, LaMerle Verdeen Minishew. LaMerle feels that the younger,lesser Verdeen cousins are a blight on the Verdeen name so she is canceling the family reunion for this year to give the town folks time “to find another idiot to talk about”. Her older brother, the 90 year old, wisecracking Aubrey Verdeen, (David Young) is the perfect foil for fussy, self-righteous LaMerle.

Canceling the reunion is the last thing that the three cousins want to have happen. Rallying around Gaynelle is cousin Peaches Verdeen Belrose, a make-up artist to the newly and dearly departed. Peaches full of life herself. She’s sexy, saucy, recently widowed (maybe) and well done by Leigh Shelton, newcomer to the GBT, but a veteran of the Wimberley Players and a recent Texas State Theatre graduate. 

 The third cousin, Jimmy Wyvette Verdeen, played by another new face to the GBT stage Gina McClure, is a good old girl who manages Whatley’s Western Wear. She also has a deep throaty laugh that is absolutely contagious. Bolstered by her cousins and angry at the world, Gaynelle makes a wild bet during an argument with LaMerle as to who can whip up the best Red Velvet Cake for the reunion that WILL take place. The stakes are high since Gaynelle doesn’t bake and isn’t sure what is needed for a Red Velvet Cake. Thus the hilarious cake war is set in motion.

The show is rounded out with Tammy Francis as Bitsy Hargis who is competing with Jimmie Wyvette for the attentions of a recently widowed neighbor and Elsa Dowdall (played by comedic talent Candice Carr) who is in town to evaluate the sanity of Gaynelle. Newt Blaylock (Randall Ischy), Purvis Verdeen (Stephen Fleming) and Sheriff Grover Lout (Brent White) provide laughs as the “men of Sweetgum”. And lastly, making the most of her 15 seconds on stage, Susie Lay (Mama Doll Hargis) will bring the audience to their feet as she sashays with her walker across the stage teasing her love interest Aubrey Verdeen.

The fun starts Thursday, Jan 24 with the Sneak Peek and runs weekends through Feb 16. Two matinees: Sunday Feb 3 and Saturday, Feb 9 @ 2 pm. More info and ticket reservations at MyGBT.org.

he Stage Manager welcomes the audience into the theater as he introduces the people and places of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire. Grover’s Corners is the perfect picture of an American town before urbanization – automobiles are a novelty, everyone is up in each other's business, and milk is still delivered fresh every morning.

After that introduction to the town, the Stage Manager zeroes in on two neighboring families: the Gibbs family and the Webb family. Each household has two children (a boy and a girl). We witness some childish interactions between Emily Webb and George Gibbs. The two are friends. By the second act, three years have passed, and friendship has blossomed into love. George and Emily are about to get married. The third act takes place in the town cemetery. Emily has died in childbirth, and she joins other deceased members of Grover’s Corners. As soon as the funeral is over, Emily realizes that she can relive her life, and decides to return to the morning of her twelfth birthday – despite warnings from her fellow dead that it’s a terrible idea. Emily soon realizes that they’re correct. Death has brought Emily a heightened awareness of life; it is too painful for Emily to watch living people who take their time for granted. Emily returns to the cemetery where George is crying over her grave.

Lend Me A Tenor by Ken Ludwig, Gaslight Baker Theatre, Lockhart, January 27 - February 18



Lend Me A Tenor Ken Ludwig Gasllght Baker Theatre, Lockhart TX

by Michael Meigs


Ken Ludwig's Lend Me A Tenor is one of those 'sure fire' inventions beloved of theatre companies across the world. Since the 1986 debut in London it has been translated into 16 languages and produced in 25 countries.


The Gaslight Baker Theatre is currently staging a vivid and funny production of this farce, a fable of mistaken identities, dizzy romance and worldly sophistication. Aspiring timidity meets bravado, and bigger-than-life Italian passions transform smaller-than-life American provincials. The year is 1934. Great Itallian tenor Tito Morelli is arriving for a single guest performance of Verdi's Otello at the improbable Cleveland Grand Opera Company, and he's about to overwhelm the locals, the society ladies, the cast of the opera, and above all, our ingénue Maggie (Francine Olguin) and her hapless would-be suitor Max.


Max (David Young) has been appointed by Cleveland's growling opera impresario Saunders (Donald Owen) to keep the visiting star sober, satisfied and out of trouble -- an impossible job, even though Morelli is accompanied by his glamorously shrewish wife Maria (Candice Carr).

Ludwig Lend Me A Tenor Gaslight Baker Theatre Lockhart TX


This is a plot that runs like clockwork, complete with romance, jealousy, officiousness, quarrels, disguises, a pertly intrusive servant (Chris Schnaible as the starstruck bellhop), slamming doors and a potent potion that knocks out the Great Man and gives the Little Man the opportunity to triumph unrecognized as his substitute. Yes, Steve Lawson as Morelli and Dave Young as Max are of different heights and builds, but with the magic of the costuming and makeup of stage disguise, predictably, no one can tell them apart!

Now, is that likely? No! Is it even probable? No! And do we care? Double no!

These two familiar Lockhart stalwarts make us root for Max and give us good reason to like Tito Morelli. They even demonstrate singing voices that are passably good enough to convince us in this make-believe world that either could go out there and give Verdi what-for. Young may overdo Max's nervous tics a bit, especially at the opening, and Lawson's Italian-a accent isn't as consistent as that of Maria (Candice Carr), but we hang on every surprise turn in the plot. Director Todd Martin sets a fine fast clip to this action and displays a keen understanding for the pictorial impact in farce of clever movement and positioning of his actors.
