Based upon the show business aspirations and successes of R&B acts such as The Supremes, The Shirelles, James Brown, Jackie Wilson, and others, DREAMGIRLS collected 13 nominations and 6 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Full of backstage drama and onstage joy, DREAMGIRLS is rated PG.

At Good Company Players’ 2nd Space Theatre
The Tony winning musical THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE is onstage at the 2nd Space through August 8. SPELLING BEE is a smart, funny and honest musical, a story of competitive spellers who soon learn that winning isn’t everything- and that losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser. Rated PG-13.
Following THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE at GCP's 2nd Space will be LEND ME A TENOR and A GOOD COMPANY CHRISTMAS. For tickets call (559) 266-9494 or (800) 371-4747.
Opening August 12 and running through October 10 - LEND ME A TENOR
The show must go on, despite the disappearance of the famous (and famously temperamental) tenor. Somebody must step in! Mishaps, mistaken identities, and hilarious mayhem follow. Rated PG
