We are currently between shows. Rehearsal are in full swing for Damn Yankees
Book by George Abbott and Douglass Wallop Music and Lyrics by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross Directed by James Waldron
Youve Gotta Have Heart. Joe Boyds heart is with the underdog Washington Senators who are about to meet the New York Yankees in the World Series. The Senators need more than Joes enthusiasm. They need a player. Joe makes a deal with the devil who transforms him into Shoeless Joe from Hannibal Mo, leaving his wife and life behind for the good of the team. Joe faces even more temptation with the voluptuous Lola, who claims Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets. Light, fast paced and devilishly clever, Damn Yankees is a homerun hit whose all-American subject matter and irreverent sense of humor have brought many a sports fan into the theatre. This is a great rousing crowd pleaser with a grand-slam score.
Show Dates

In Memoriam of Kristin Marie Troxel
|
Kristin,
I look for you every time Im up on stage for guidance and directions. We all miss you and your enthusiasm. Save a part for me in one of the productions up there. Put in a good word for me!!!
Adieu Mon Ami, Ron Cox
Kristin was one of the most talented people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. We worked together in Here's Love and again in this show. She had so many talents as a choreographer, actress, and singer. Kristin had a unique gift of being able to remember every aspect of a production. She knew everyone's lines, dance steps, blocking, and choreography. This theatre was like a second home to her, and she had a way of making others feel welcome here as well. She will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered. Her vitality and love of life will never be forgotten.
Amy Shirk
Kristin's bright smile was as radiant as her talents were priceless. She will be missed.
Ian Bonner
As a new member of the Damn Yankees cast, I first saw Kristen at our first rehearsal. She first caught my eye on the front deck as she was "hangin" with her young friends. I noticed her shortly after that inside the theatre relating to others around her ... always with an infectious smile and wide, happy eyes. Her confidence, passion for the theatre and simple love of life was evident and touched me immediately. Then I watched her perform in the ensemble singing with the members. Her singing voice was strong, vibrant and passionate. Acting as assistant choreographer, never once did I see frustration or impatience as she tried to teach dance moves to the cast. I personally introduced myself to her and as destiny would have it, she worked with me on some simple dance moves for the closing of my song, "Those Were The Good Old Days." It took her seconds to fit a simple dance step into my closing and at least fifteen minutes teaching it to me, always encouraging, never disparaging. I think of Kristen as a kind, giving person to those around her and I know that she will be right there with all of us as in all of our upcoming rehearsals and performances ... and beyond.
Tony Pingitore
Kristin was one of my best friends. She was always there for me and refused to let me give up on anything, no matter how hard I tried to. She was always pushing me to be better. I'm going to miss all of our talks whether they were about the meaning of life to who J.K. Rowling means by "The Half Blood Prince." No mere amount of words could possibly sum up the type of person she was or what she means to me, but all I can really say is that though I knew you Kristin, my life has been changed for the better.
Dan Melnick
In the short week that I knew Kristin, I was immediately taken by the level of energy and enthusiasm that she brought to the table. One of the first things I told Kristin was how impressive it was to me to see someone so young living up to a maturity level far beyond her years. Without a doubt, she was a leader - one who demonstrated a tremendous amount of patience and perseverance with everyone both on and off stage. Kristin was certainly a work of art in the making. I am truly blessed to have had the opportunity to meet her.
Sasha Azevedo
Kristin,
I remember
when we were all on the stage you would never give up on us. No matter
what, you kept teaching us the dance until we would get it right. You
would give a big smile and jump for joy every time we would get the dance
right.
Although I didn't get to know you very well, you where so funny and nice.
I will always keep the memories of our practices in my heart. Just like
the song "You Got To Have Heart," you sure did have a lot of heart. You
lit-up the stage like a full moon on a dark night with your smile and your
voice that shined so bright. Day has gone without you here. Though you
are not here, your heart remains with us and we will treasure all your
memories and we dedicated this show just for you, Kristin.
Antonio Consuegra
The best way I can describe my feelings toward my friend Kristin, is to quote the first show we did together, Into the Woods.
"Sometimes people leave you halfway through the woods, do not let it grieve you, no one leaves for good. You are not alone, no one is alone."
I will forever remember you, Krissy. God bless.
Love,
Trish Baillie
Kristin,
I know a lot of people know you as a star of the stage, but to me you were always, and will always, be so much more. You didnt just light-up the stage, you lit-up the lives of your friends and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing you. One more Persian goodbye for the road
Dave Breidenstine
Kristin,
Youre an amazing actress whose presence will be missed on stage, not the least of which by me. But, while your talent was great, thats not how Ill remember you. Ill remember you for singing Weird Al in the car and for liking Ritas too much. Ill remember you always beating me in Jeopardy, even though we both know Im the smarter one. Most of all,. Ill remember you for your smile and how it could change the tone of my entire day. Youre a better friend than I could ever hope for; thanks for changing my life forever.
John Fischer
Kristin knew me before I knew her. She had seen me on the LCT stage in Grease and complimented me on her memory of my performance. That is my first memory of Kristin. Since that day, I had the opportunity to watch her grow from an enthusiastic little girl to a dedicated, organized, and dedicated member of the Damn Yankees production team. I saw many things in Kristin that I had never seen in any choreographer before. She put so much effort into what she was doing and was so patient with the cast members while she was teaching them their steps. It is my hope that we have kept the integrity of her original choreography intact and that this production of Damn Yankees is, in some way, a tribute to the memory of a talented young lady who was taken long before her time.
