FROM THE<br />
ARTISTIC/MANAGING DIRECTOR…<br />
Welcome.<br />
Thanks for attending “The Doofus Doolittle Show” as a part<br />
of our 30th anniversary season. Although ACT utilizes local<br />
actors and technicians to produce most of the productions<br />
seen at the Capitol <strong>Theatre</strong>, it is important to have a variety of<br />
productions and bring in touring shows as well. Over the years<br />
we have had many different productions from many different<br />
companies. They all add to the local entertainment and educational experiences of<br />
our volunteers and audience.<br />
We are pleased to have the professional talents of Randy Newman, from Branson,<br />
MO, as “Doofus Doolittle” here at the Capitol.<br />
Our next production, “Eleemosynary” by Lee Blessing, will be in August.<br />
El-emos-y-nar-y: (e-li-mä-s -ner-e) adj.<br />
1) Of, relating to, or dependent on charity<br />
2) Contributed as an act of charity; gratuitous<br />
The show involves three generations of women. Dorothea, an admitted New Age<br />
eccentric, her middle-aged daughter, Artie, and Artie’s teenage daughter Echo. The<br />
show is a poignant and mature look at the generational family relationships of the<br />
three women. We are in the process of casting and scheduling before we announce<br />
the cast and August production dates.<br />
If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to attend any of the Storybook Land <strong>Theatre</strong><br />
presentations at the castle, you have all of July and the first week in August to take<br />
advantage of the productions. A new show is produced every week and performs<br />
Sundays at 5 p.m., Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m. and Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. ACT’s<br />
Young People’s <strong>Theatre</strong> works with the <strong>Aberdeen</strong> Parks, Recreation and Forestry<br />
department to bring you these fun summer productions. Brian Schultz, ACT’s<br />
education director, directs the cast of six, all of whom have come through ACT’s<br />
Young People’s <strong>Theatre</strong> program.<br />
Hope the rest of your summer goes well. Thanks again for attending our 30th<br />
anniversary season.<br />

ACT presents<br />
DIRECT FROM BRANSON!<br />
The Doofus Doolittle show is a total variety show featuring side<br />
splitting comedy, championship fiddle playing, singing and much<br />
much more! Doofus will have you rolling in the aisles with his<br />
unique style of “Hillbilly Humor.”<br />
You can expect some of the best fiddle music anywhere! One<br />
review written describes Doofus as a cross between Hee Haw &<br />
Larry the Cable Guy!<br />
In the second half of the show Doofus throws off the Hillbilly<br />
hat and tie comes out as alter ego Randy Newman in one<br />
of his $5,000 custom tailored suits by Manuel of<br />
Nashville. Manuel designs and tailors suits for all<br />
the major Nashville acts such as Tim McGraw,<br />
Porter Wagoner, Roy Clark, Alan Jackson and<br />
many more.<br />
Randy Newman, is a World Class Violinist,<br />
and has established himself as such not only<br />
in Branson, but across the country, having<br />
performed with such acts as Ronnie Milsap,<br />
Jimmie Rogers, Johnny Rodriguez, Mel Tillis<br />
and many, many others.<br />
After doing several shows with Porter Wagoner,<br />
Wagoner invited Doofus to be a special guest<br />
of his on the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville,<br />
Tennessee. After an overwhelming response,<br />
Wagoner brought Doofus back to the stage to<br />
close his portion of the Opry with a fiddle tune.<br />
There will be a 15 minute intermission.<br />
Join us for refreshments in the Jane West Gallery.<br />

Eleemosynary by Lee Blessing focuses on the lives of three women: seventyfive-year-old<br />
Dorothea who feels like a woman in her fifties; her middle-aged<br />
daughter, Artie; and Artie’s teenage daughter, Echo. Dorothea, an admitted New<br />
Age eccentric, has complicated the lives of the two other women by imposing her<br />
thwarted dreams on them, which has alienated Artie not only from Dorothea but<br />
from Echo as well. This is a poignant and mature look at generational<br />
family relationships.<br />
