NOISES OFF
by Michael Frayn
It's a classic play within a play; or rather a farce within a farce. Lloyd Fellowes is the director of a theatre company. The audiences watches the production from final rehersals, through opening night, and onto the tour: as with any group of actors forced to work closely together for any great length of time, romances and arguments are bound to break out. Quite often, what's happening on stage is nothing compared to what's happening backstage!
The hysterical comedy/farce opened on Broadway in 1983 starring Victor Garber and Dorothy Loudon and ran over 500 performances. It was revived in 2001 with Peter Gallagher and Patti LuPone. The movie made in 1992 had an all-star cast including Michael Caine, Carol Burnett, Christopher Reeve, John Ritter, Marylou Henner, Julie Hagerty, and Mark Linn-Baker.

adapted by Will Severin, Patricia Di Benedetto Snyder and John Vreeke from the novel by Valentine Davies. Music by Will Severin
Kris Kringle is the personification of good will and holiday spirit. As the Macy's holiday Santa, he enchants children and shoppers so completely that his claim to be the real Santa Clause is deemed dangerous by fellow employees who question his competency and plot to ruin him. A small girl's belief in Santa Claus and the magic of the holiday is at stake in a climactic courtroom decision.
This is a hilarious, tender, and charming show for the entire family as a Christmas classic. The staged version was originally produced by the New York State Theatre Institute. The 1947 movie starring Natalie Wood won 3 Academy Awards. The movie was remade again in 1994 starring Mara Wilson.

OLIVER! [June 5 - June 14]
adapted by Lionel Bart from the Charles Dickens novel
This is the one of the most beloved British musicals, vividly bringing to life Charles Dickens’ timeless characters from his ever-popular novel "Oliver Twist" about an orphan boy who asked for more.
With a lively story and colorful characters the whole family can enjoy, the show is about a little orphan boy, Oliver, who joins a boys' gang of pickpockets, led by The Artful Dodger and Fagin, and the amazing journey through life that he leads. It's an emotional story that engages the audience with comedy and drama, while delighting everyone with memorable musical numbers including "Food, Glorious Food", "I'd Do Anything", "Consider Yourself", "As Long As He Needs Me", "Who Will Buy?", and "Reviewing the Situation".
THE SUNSHINE BOYS [Aug 6 - Aug 9]
by Neil Simon
Al Lewis and Willie Clark played vaudeville as a team for 43 years, but squabbling and animosity has kept them far apart for the last decade. Now CBS wants them to appear in a television tribute to their comedy. Despite their differences, the odd couple's reunion sparks delirious comedy, with all the verbal wit and hilarity we have come to expect from the beloved Neil Simon.
The 1975 movie starred Walter Matthau and George Burns and gave Matthau an Academy Award nomination, while winning Burns his only Oscar. The show was most recently portrayed by television's "The Odd Couple" alumni Jack Klugman and Tony Randall in the 1998 Broadway revival.

CURTAINS [Nov 13 - Nov 22]
by Rupert Holmes and John Kandor & Fred Ebb
Based on the original book and concept by Peter Stone, the musical is a send-up of backstage murder mystery plots, set in 1959 Boston, Massachusetts and follows the fallout when the supremely untalented star of Robbin' Hood of the Old West is murdered during her opening night curtain call. Can a police detective, who also happens to have aspirations of musical theatre, save the show, solve the case, and maybe even find love before the show reopens, without getting killed himself?
The original musical played on Broadway from 2007-2008 and starred David Hyde Pierce as the Detective. It was nominated for 18 Tony awards, including Best Musical and won Best Musical Book and Best Actor and Actress in a Musical.

THE LAST NIGHT OF BALLYHOO [Aug 5 - Aug 8]
by Alfred Uhry
This romantic comedy drama is set at Christmas-time in 1939 in the home of a prominent Jewish family in an otherwise Christian Atlanta. Between the opening strains of Christmas carols and the closing prayer of Shabbat Shalom, we see a family pulled apart and mended back together. Culturally, "Gone with the Wind" is having its world premiere and Hitler is invading Poland, but the biggest worry in the Freitag family is who's going to Ballyhoo, the social event of the year. It's a story full of comedy, romance, and family eccentrics befitting the holiday season. Opened on Broadway in 1997. Won the Tony Award for Best Play.

INHERIT THE WIND [May 14 - May 23]
by Jerome Lawrence & Robert E. Lee
A classic courtroom drama that stands the test of time, Inherit the Wind puts on trial our perceptions of what is "right" and "wrong". Although the play is a fictional re-creation of the Scopes "monkey trial" of 1925 -- in which a Tennessee high-school science teacher was tried for including Darwin's theories of evolution in his curriculum -- it easily fits into the ongoing battles of morality and belief systems in today's environment. Even as humankind becomes more sophisticated in our thought processes, at the end of the day we are still struggling to understand the basic truths in the world around us.
Various revivals have included: Paul Muni & Ed Begley (1955); Charles Durning & George C. Scott (1996); Brian Dennehy & Christopher Plummer (2007)
