One More Productions Announces Their Upcoming Shows

ONE MORE PRODUCTIONS is one of Southern California's leading musical theater companies. Now in its third season at the 158-seat The Gem Theater in Garden Grove, One More Productions has been lauded for its quality productions of Broadway musicals. One More Productions was voted one of the top five theaters in all of Southern California this past year by the Los Angeles Times. They were awarded the Paul Harris Fellow Award by The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International and The Saint James Family Honors Award by the Board of Directors of the Orange County Imperial Court. They received a Resolution from the City of Garden Grove, and an official recognition from the County of Orange.

THE GEM THEATER recently underwent an $180,000 renovation, adding a state of the art sound system, newly refurbished theater seats, and a reconfigured stage.

MARCH 24 - APRIL 17, 2011

25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Book by Rachel Sheinkin
Music and Lyrics by William Finn
Directed by Damien Lorton

Six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. This hilarious tale of overachievers' angst chronicles the experience of six adolescents vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The show's Tony Award winning creative team has created the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time.

Assassins
Book by John Weidman
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Directed by Beth Hanson

Stephen Sondheim's bold, original, surreal, disturbing, thought-provoking and alarmingly funny "Assassins" is perhaps the most controversial musical ever written. This most American of musicals lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or attempted to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical "revusical" that explores the dark side of the American experience.
