The 2005 Tony Award winner for best play, depicting paranoia triggered by accusations of pedophilia in the Catholic Church, tops the offerings and is among four Honolulu premieres; the revivals include a kitschy cult rock classic with audience intervention.

The season, MVT's 39th, will include two productions with cabaret seating that reconfigures the theater into a nightclub atmosphere, complete with drink service.

The offerings:

i "The Musical of Musicals — The Musical," Sept. 5-23: An off-Broadway satire of musical theater, by Eric Rockwell and Joanne Bogart, about an ingenue unable to pay the rent.

i "Plaid Things," Nov. 7-25: A holiday sequel to "Forever Plaid," complete with 1950-ish four-part vocal harmony, embracing Ed Sullivan's Christmas Spectaculars, the Rockettes, the Chipmunks and the Vienna Boys Choir — with a Caribbean flavor for good measure.

i "Doubt," Jan. 16-Feb. 3: John Patrick Shanley's 2005 Pulitzer Prize for drama and Tony Award for best play is set in a parochial school in the Bronx of 1964, where a battle of will between absolutist Sister Aloysius and the doctrinally flexible Father Flynn results in paranoia and accusations of pedophilia that raises questions about the tenuous nature of faith and the inconstancy of justice.

i "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change," March 5-23: A musical revue, by Joe DiPietro and Jimmy Roberts, that celebrates the mating game, its truths and myths behind that conundrum known as "the relationship."

i "And Then There Were None," May 14-25: A mystery comedy, by Agatha Christie, about 10 people with something to hide and something to fear, who are lured to an isolated mansion on Shipwreck Island by a host who fails to appear.

i "Rocky Horror Show," June 25-July 13: Could this bonbon by Richard O'Brien be the biggest and baddest rock musical ever? A clean-cut couple, en route to visit an old college professor, have tire trouble and seeks help — and become enmeshed in a maniacal experiment of Dr. Frank N. Furter.

Season tickets ($145 for six individual tickets to each play) will go on sale May 15, with single tickets available from July 2. A $150 flex pass, allowing five admissions useable in any combination, also is available.

Manoa Valley Theatre shows premiere at 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays and repeat at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 4 p.m. Sundays.
