THE ADDAMS FAMILY — Book by Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice, Music & Lyrics by Andrew Lippa
Sep 2 - Sep 24, 2016 (4 weeks) A Musical
** not included in 6 or 9 Season Ticket ** DIRECTOR: SHAUN RICE AUDITIONS: Sun & Mon, June 19 & 20 at 7 pm
THE ADDAMS FAMILY features an original story, and it’s every father’s nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family – a man her parents have never met. And if that weren’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s ‘normal’ boyfriend and his parents.
DEATHTRAP — by Ira Levin Oct 7 - Oct 29, 2016 (4 weeks) A Thriller
DIRECTOR: LEO SADAUSKAS AUDITIONS: Sun & Mon, July 17 & 18 at 7 pm Seemingly comfortably ensconced in his charming Connecticut home, Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, is struggling to overcome a “dry” spell which has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student in the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college—a thriller which Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway hit. Sidney’s plan, which he devises with his wife’s help, is to offer collaboration to the student, an idea which the younger man quickly accepts. Thereafter suspense mounts steadily as the plot begins to twist and turn with devilish cleverness, and with such an abundance of thrills and laughter, that audiences will be held enthralled until the final, startling moments of the play.
PROOF — by David Auburn Nov 10 - Nov 19, 2016 (2 weeks with 2 Thurs performances) A Drama
DIRECTOR: CLAREANN DESPAIN AUDITIONS: Sun & Mon, Aug 21 & 22 at 7 pm Catherine has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, Robert. When he dies she has more than grief to deal with: there’s her estranged sister, Claire, and Hal, a former student of her father’s who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that Robert left behind. And a further problem: how much of her father’s madness — or genius — will Catherine inherit?
A CHRISTMAS CAROL — Adapted by Jim Russell from the Charles Dickens’ book Dec 2 - Dec 18, 2016 (3 weeks - including closing Sunday) A Classic Holiday Favorite
DIRECTOR: LYNN CAMMARERI AUDITIONS: Sun & Mon, Sept 18 & 19 at 7 pm An adaptation of the story of Ebenezer Scrooge’s journey from an embittered, ungenerous creature into a giving, caring human being at the hands of three spirits, who, one Christmas Eve, show him what life means.
LIE, CHEAT AND GENUFLECT — by Billy Van Zandt & Jane Milmore Jan 6 - Jan 28, 2017 (4 weeks) A Comedy
DIRECTOR: LEANNE GERMANN AUDITIONS: Sun & Mon, Oct 23 & 24 at 7 pm The Buckle brothers, Billy and Tom, are in big trouble: Tom’s infallible eye for slow horses has drained away all of Billy’s savings and he has borrowed from loan shark Pizza Face Petrillo, who now wants his money back or else! Involve a stuffy young lawyer, a hard drinking, man hungry housekeeper and a trio of beautiful young women, and you have the recipe for a laugh packed farce of twists, turns, puns and pratfalls as Tom strives mightily to compensate for Billy’s “habitual” errors.
THE RED VELVET CAKE WAR — by Jamie Wooten, Jessie Jones, & Nicholas Hope Feb 10 - Mar 4, 2017 (4 weeks) A Comedy
DIRECTOR: STEPHAN BIELAWSKI AUDITIONS: Sun & Mon, Nov 27 & 28 at 7 pm In this riotously funny Southern-fried comedy, the three Verdeen cousins—Gaynelle, Peaches and Jimmie Wyvette—could not have picked a worse time to throw their family reunion. But the cousins can’t back out of the reunion now. It’s on and Gaynelle’s hosting it; Peaches and Jimmie Wyvette have decided its success is the perfect way to prove Gaynelle’s sanity to a skeptical court-appointed psychologist. Unfortunately, they face an uphill battle as a parade of wildly eccentric Verdeens gather on the hottest day of July, smack-dab in the middle of Texas tornado season. Things spin hilariously out of control when a neighbor’s pet devours everything edible, a one-eyed suitor shows up to declare his love and a jaw-dropping high-stakes wager is made on who bakes the best red velvet cake. As this fast-paced romp barrels toward its uproarious climax, you’ll wish your own family reunions were this much fun!
LA CAGE AUX FOLLES — Book by Harvey Fierstein Music and Lyrics by Jerry Herman
Mar 17 - Apr 8, 2017 (4 weeks) A Musical
** not included in 6 or 9 Season Ticket **DIRECTOR: JAMES FAROUTE AUDITIONS: Sun & Mon, Jan 8 & 9 at 7 pm
Much revived, most recently in a 2010 production transferred to Broadway from London’s Menier Chocolate Factory, La Cage Aux Folles remains one of the all time biggest hits, adding new dimension to the boulevard comedy. After twenty years of un-wedded bliss Georges and Albin, two men partnered for better-or-worse get a bit of both when Georges’ son (fathered during a one-night fling) announces his impending marriage to the daughter of a bigoted, right-wing politician. Further complicating the situation is the ‘family business’: Albin and Georges run a drag nightclub in St. Tropez, where Albin is the “star” performer ‘Zaza’. Georges reluctantly agrees to masquerade as “normal” when he meets the family of the bride-to-be. But Albin has other plans, with hilarious results.
ALL MY SONS — by Arthur Miller Apr 21 - May 6, 2017 (3 weeks) A Drama
DIRECTOR: MIKE COTE AUDITIONS: Sun & Mon, Feb 5 & 6 at 7 pm During the war Joe Keller and Herbert Deever ran a machine shop which made airplane parts. Deever was sent to prison because the firm turned out defective parts, causing the deaths of many men. Keller went free and made a lot of money. The twin shadows of this catastrophe and the fact that the young Keller son was reported missing during the war dominate the action. The love affair of Chris Keller and Ann Deever, the bitterness of George Deever returned from the war to find his father in prison and his father’s partner free, are all set in a structure of almost unbearable power. The climax showing the reaction of a son to his guilty father is fitting conclusion to a play electrifying in its intensity.
INCORRUPTIBLE — by Michael Hollinger Jun 2 - Jun 17, 2017 (3 weeks) A Comedy
DIRECTOR: JIM RUSSELL AUDITIONS: Sun & Mon, Mar 19 & 20 at 7 pm Welcome to Priseaux, France, c. 1250 A.D.: The river flooded again last week. The chandler’s shop just burned to the ground. Nobody’s heard of the wheelbarrow yet. And Ste. Foy, the patron of the local monastery, hasn’t worked a miracle in thirteen years. In other words, the Dark Ages still look pretty dark. All eyes turn to the Pope, whose promised visit will surely encourage other pilgrims to make the trek and restore the abbey to its former glory. That is, until a rival church claims to possess the relics of Ste. Foy—and “their” bones are working miracles. All seems lost until the destitute monks take a lesson from a larcenous one-eyed minstrel, who teaches them an outrageous new way to pay old debts.
AN ACT OF THE IMAGINATION — by Bernard Slade Jul 7 - Jul 22, 2017 (3 weeks) A Mystery Thriller
DIRECTOR: VICTOR CARR AUDITIONS: Sun & Mon, Apr 23 & 24 at 7 pm This masterful suspense tale by the author of Same Time, Next Year, Same Time, Another Year, Romantic Comedy and Tribute involves a successful mystery writer whose latest work has strangely turned into a vivid and adulterous romance. His son, his second wife and his editor marvel at the truthfulness of the work, remarkable since it is inconceivable that he could ever have had such an affair. Enter a woman, who is intent on blackmail and whose story is foolproof and airtight: it appears that Arthur has been trysting away from home. Death stalks: the other woman disappears and evidence incriminates Arthur in her murder. There is a conspiracy to do Arthur in, a conspiracy that entails cunning, deceit and ingenious plotting.
A LITTLE MURDER NEVER HURT ANYBODY — by Ron Bernas Aug 4 - Aug 19, 2017 (3 weeks) A Comedy
DIRECTOR: JOIE MARSH AUDITIONS: Sun & Mon, May 28 & 29 at 7 pm This six-character comedy is a spoof of and love letter to the screwball comedies of the 1930s and to stage mysteries in general. It is a one-set, two-act piece featuring witty dialogue and slapstick comedy. As the bodies fall, dim-witted daughter Bunny contemplates calling off her wedding to unwitting Donald since all the intended gift-bearing guests are dying. Enter Detective Plotnik – a Sam Spade reincarnation who suspects everyone, but hasn’t a clue. That is, not until Donald stumbles upon Julia and gentlemanly butler Buttram in what Donald mistakenly perceives as a compromising situation. Donald jumps to the conclusion that Julia is the murderer – trying to murder Matthew! It ends in a nice bang and with a bit of a message about the importance of love.
