One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Dale Wasserman's play adapted from Ken Kesey's novel
Sept. 24-26, Oct. 1-3, 8-10, 2009
A charming rogue contrives to serve a short sentence in an airy mental institution rather than prison.
He soon clashes with the head nurse by staging a revolt with other inmates to watch the World Series
on TV and having a midnight party with liquor and chippies only to have the head nurse retaliate by
ordering shock treatments and, finally, a frontal lobotomy.
Christmas Belles
By Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten
Dec. 3-5, 10-12, 17-19, 2009
A church Christmas program spins hilariously out of control in this Southern farce about the
squabbling Futrelle sisters, family secrets, a surly Santa, a vengeful sheep, and a reluctant
Elvis impersonator. But in true Futrelle fashion, the feuding sisters find a way to pull together
in order to present a Christmas program the citizens of the town will never forget.
Getting Sara Married
by Sam Bobrick
Feb. 11-13, 18-20, 25-27, 2010
Special Valentine Dinner/Show Feb.13 $30/personShow Only-regular prices
Sara Hastings is an unmarried lawyer in her mid-thirties, much too busy to get involved in any
romance. Her Aunt Martha has decided to take matters into her own hands and find her a husband.
Aunt Martha*s method is to have the prospective groom bopped over the head and brought
to Sara*s apartment. Although he is already engaged to be married, this does not deter
Aunt Martha. After a temporary loss of memory and several instances of mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation, he realizes that Sara is the girl for him.
TOPDOG/UNDERDOG
Suzan-Lori Parks’ Pulitzer Prize winning Drama
April 15-17, 22-24, 29-30, May 1, 2010
This exploration of desire and deception chronicles the adult lives of two
African American brothers as they cope with women, work, poverty, gambling,
racism, and their troubled upbringings. Sibling rivalry is the unavoidable subtext
of the play*s wickedly ironic dialogue.
The Foreigner
A Comedy by Larry Shue
June 3-5, 10-12, 17-19, 2010
Set in a resort-style fishing lodge in the south, this comedy revolves around two
of its guests, Charlie Baker and Englishman Staff Sergeant Froggy LeSueur.
Charlie is so pathologically shy that he is unable to speak. Froggy claims his
companion is the native of an exotic country who does not understand a word
of English. Charlie soon finds himself privy to assorted secrets and scandals
freely discussed in front of him by the other visitors. This fuels the nonstop
hilarity of the play and sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go
uproariously awry for the "bad guys" and the "good guys" emerge triumphant.
William March's
Bad Seed
August 5-7, 12-14, 19-21, 2010
Grade-schooler Rhoda Penmark is sweet, smart . . . and inherently evil!
After a school chum dies during a picnic, no one suspects Rhoda, except
the janitor of her apartment building. But when Rhoda's mother, Christine
finds out that her own mother is a cold-blooded killer, she begins to suspect
Rhoda might be the victim of some faulty genetic wiring.
