Canyon Theatre Guild “The Red Velvet Cake War”
Canyon Theatre Guild has the “riotously funny Southern-fried comedy” The Red Velvet Cake War. When you read the show description online at Canyon Theatre Guild you become wildly dizzy in a good way. Three cousins, a family reunion, the number one mortuarial cosmetologist in the tri-county area, the accidental minivan crash through a husband’s girlfriend’s doublewide, hot July weather, and a high-stakes wager for the best red velvet cake, all surround this story in the middle of Texas tornado season. It is then no wonder why the description ends with “you’ll wish your own family reunions were this much fun!”

Canyon Theatre Guild “Cinderella, The Panto!”
Canyon Theatre Guild has the family friendly “Cinderella, The Panto!” I must confess, I had to Google the meaning of panto. In the United Kingdom, panto is short for pantomime but has nothing to do with white-face make-up. “Enjoy an exciting show full of catchy songs, dancing mice, laugh-out-loud routines, lavish costumes and lots of audience participation, you won’t want to miss zany British Panto adaptation of the age-old tale of Cinderella, The Panto!”
