A heavenly barbershop quartet comes to life at The World Theatre! High school pals Sparky, Jinx, Smudge, and Francis, known as “The Plaids”, are just four nice young men who love singing harmony. They practice in their basements, perform at proms and department stores, and dream of success. When The Plaids are killed in a car accident on the way to their first big gig in1964, the young men linger in limbo, as unresolved as their final chord, until an astro-technical phenomena allows them to return to Earth, perform their final concert, and hopefully win a place in Heaven. Will they find the perfect chord and the deluxe plaid dinner jackets of their dreams? Forever Plaid is a delightful, mischievous, and unashamedly heartwarming homage to the sweet and innocent sounds of the ‘50s and the ‘60s, and features classic barbershop versions of popular hits such as “Three Coins in the Fountain,” “16 Tons,” and “Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing”.

Laugh until it hurts with this comedy filled with wit, intellect, and just plain fun! All in the Timing is a collection of comedies that will have you laughing out loud! In ‘Sure Thing’, a couple on a first date has the opportunity to reset and try again each time they say the wrong thing. ‘Words, Words, Words’ explores the idea that given enough time, three monkeys in a room could eventually compose any given text, including Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”. In ‘The Universal Language’, a shy young woman places her faith in a language tutor, and their lesson sends them off into a dazzling display of hysterical verbal pyrotechnics – and, of course, true love. Finally, in ‘The Philadelphia’, a man discovers that he’s entered a strange pocket of the universe where the only way to get what he wants is to ask for the opposite. Presented at the World Theatre, it’s a show filled with quick banter, hilarious scenarios, and plenty of laughter!

This classic comedy takes the stage at the historic World Theatre in Kearney! It’s poker night at the apartment of Oscar Madison, a divorced sports writer. And if the mess is any indication, it’s no wonder that his wife left him. Late to arrive is Felix Unger, who has just been thrown out by his own wife. Since Felix has nowhere to go, Oscar invites him to move in with him until he has a chance to figure things out. At first, Felix’s love of order is the perfect answer to Oscar’s messy house, careless spending, and gambling problems. But soon his fussiness and hypochondriac ways prove extremely annoying to those around him, especially Oscar, who has to decide whether to let his friend stay and drive him crazy, or throw him out to retain his sanity. Hilarity ensues as these two very polar-opposite friends have to figure out how to reconcile their differences.

A modern day holiday classic based on the beloved film, Elf The Musical is sure to make everyone embrace their inner elf. Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. Unaware that he is actually human, Buddy’s enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh realities that his father is on the naughty list, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas. The score is jam-packed with rousing anthems of holiday cheer, including “Christmastown,” “Sparklejollytwinklejingley,” and “There is a Santa Claus.” After all, the best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear. Presented at the Merryman Performing Arts Center with a limited number of performances, be sure to add this show to your Christmas Wish List early.
