The Murder Room / December 5, 2008 - January 25, 2009

A zany spoof of British mysteries! There are secret chambers, panels and trap lids galore that are operated by ridiculous contrivances. A grand mixture of Agatha Christie, Monty Python and Abbot and Costello, the quick, smart, well-timed dialogue, combined with hilarious situations and physical antics make this high mad, melodrama a fun night at the theatre. Guaranteed to provide as many laughs as you can handle in one sitting!

Enchanted April / February 13 - March 15, 2009

This Tony Award nominated play follows two proper London housewives who rent a villa in Italy for a holiday away from bleak marriages. Joined by two very different English women they fall under the spell of their idyllic, sun drenched surroundings. There they rediscover laughter, learn new truths about themselves and find just the romance they need, though not the romance we - or they - expect to find!

You Can’t Take It With You / May 22 - June 21, 2009

This Pulitzer Prize winning depiction of a delightfully eccentric family won an Academy Award for Best Picture of 1938. The play relates the humorous encounter between the crazy household of Grandpa Vanderhof, and his family of idiosyncratic individualists versus the conservative family of his grandaughter’s suitor. Their wholehearted pursuit of happiness fills the stage with chaotic activity and witty one-liners!
