TheatreOne’s 2025/26 season kicks off with the first show in our Mainstage Series, PUMP BOYS AND DINETTES, on October 10th and 11th at the Malaspina Theatre. A smash hit on and off-Broadway, this crowd-pleasing country-western musical features Prudie and Rhetta Cupp, from the Double Cupp Diner, singing and performing along with the talented boys from the gas station next door.
Through infectious melodies and charming storytelling, these six friends share their lives, loves, and dreams along North Carolina’s Highway 57. From the rollicking “Drinkin’ Shoes” to the touching “Sister,” every song pulls you deeper into their small-town world where the coffee is always fresh, the gas pumps are always flowing, and friendship is always on the menu.
There’s no traditional plot here — just slice-of-life vignettes and foot-stomping music that celebrate the simple joys of everyday life. It’s apple pie served with a side of humor and a whole lot of heart.
So fill up your tank and your spirit with this uplifting musical that reminds us all to slow down, connect with others, and savor life’s simple pleasures. PUMP BOYS AND DINETTES isn’t just a night at the theatre—it’s a roadside attraction you won’t want to miss!
