APRIL/MAY 2012
THE BUTLER DID IT [April 27th - May 6th]
by Tim Kelly
The farcical sleuth comedy parodies every English mystery play ever written, but with a decidedly American flair. Miss Maple, with a reputation for “clever” weekend parties, invites a group of detective writers to eerie Ravenswood Manor on Turkey Island where they are to impersonate their fictional characters. The hostess has arranged all sorts of amusing incidents, but when a real murder takes place, Miss Maple is outraged. She offers a reward to the “detective” who can bring the killer to justice. In the spirit of the films "Murder By Death" and "Clue", the zany assortment of would-be sleuths are based on the likes of literary characters Miss Marple, Nick & Nora Charles, Sam Spade, Charlie Chan and the like.

AUGUST 2012
THE LITTLE FOXES [August 9th - 12th]
by Lillian Hellman
For the love of money. The focus is on Southern aristocrat Regina Hubbard Giddens, who struggles for wealth and freedom within the confines of an early 20th century society when a father considered only his sons as legal heirs. As a result, her avaricious brothers Benjamin and Oscar are independently wealthy, while she must rely upon her sickly, invalid husband Horace for financial support. The play follows her decisions and how she copes and manipulates her way toward financial freedom to avoid financial ruin. This excellent drama has starred such heavyweights as Tallulah Bankhead in the original Broadway production, and Anne Bancroft, Maureen Stapleton, Elizabeth Taylor, and Stockard Channing in subsequent revivals. The 1941 film starred Bette Davis.
GUYS & DOLLS [November 11th - 20th]
by Frank Loesser (book: Jo Swerling & Abe Burrows)
The popular musical based on two short stories "The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown" and "Blood Pressure" by Damon Runyon, with characters and plot elements from other Runyon stories, most notably "Pick the Winner." It's the basic story of two gamblers Skye Masterson and Nathan Detroit and the women who love them. With classic songs by Frank Loesser like "Luck Be A Lady" and "Sit Down You're Rockin' The Boat" and great characters, it is a show that audiences are sure to enjoy! The show premiered on Broadway in 1950, and ran for 1,200 performances and won the Tony Award for Best Musical. There have been several Broadway revivals as well as West End production, and there was a 1955 film that starred Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons, Frank Sinatra and Vivian Blaine.
