Click here for more information on this production that runs through August 22

"Pump Boys and Dinettes is a short but sweet musical that's set several decades ago in a small town in North Carolina. While there isn't much of a plot, there are more than a dozen upbeat songs that range from folk to country and pop. The enthusiastic and talented cast of singer-musicians in Phoenix Theatre Company's production create warm, down to earth characters. There is an abundance of charm and nostalgia in this bright and lively, crowd pleasing show...."   -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)

"...Director D. Scott Withers, himself a veteran performer/director of musical theatre, both regional and national, has assembled a just-right ensemble of six musical performers who cheerfully embody who they are. Characters talk and share their thoughts directly to the audience. It's their upbeat, positive friendliness and their eager desire to welcome you to their world, if only for a short time, that wins you over the moment they appear..."  David Appleford, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
