The Fall show is "Good News!” a hit 1920's musical. The score bubbles over with tunes such as Button Up Your Overcoat, You’re the Cream in My Coffee,The Best Things in Life are Free and The Varsity Drag, the Charleston dance number that became a 1927 international craze.

Good News is a musical comedy which opened on Broadway in 1927, set on the campus of the fictional "Tait College". The book was by Buddy DeSylva and Laurence Schwab, lyrics by DeSylva and Lew Brown, and music by Ray Henderson. Good News is a jazzy, full-of-pep, razzamatazz that has the audience in its grip from the moment the curtain goes up. And the songs? Well,the fact that they include, You're the Cream in My Coffee, The Varsity Drag,Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries, Button Up Your Overcoat and Keep Your Sunny Side Up should give you an inkling of just how much there is in this gem of as how. In the 1920s, football reigns king on the fictional Tait University campus and Tait's collegians are obsessed with their star football player, Tom Marlowe.Most students will drop everything to watch him practice, to do something toearn his favor, or to follow the latest chapter in his soap-opera romance with the daughter of one of the school's wealthiest benefactors. However, one girl seems oblivious to the football-mania: Connie Lane, an intensely studious girl. Ironically, Connie is recruited to help when Marlowe fails the astronomy final he needs pass to in order to play in the big game Saturday. Soon the football star and the tutor fall for each other, and the football coach and the astronomy professor rekindle their own college romance. Inevitably, these couples' love can only survive if the team wins the big game.
