DIAL 'M' FOR MURDER [Aug 7 - Aug 10]
by Frederick Knott
Tony Wendice wants revenge on his cheating wife, Margot. She insisted that he give up playing his career as a professional tennis player, so they could enjoy their marriage. Unfortunately, for both of them, Tony retired too late, and discovered that his wife has been having an affair. He devises an intricate plot to take his revenge, playing with her fate and coming up with the perfect murder. Full of twists and turns that keep the audience guessing.
This classic mystery/thriller opened on Broadway in 1952 and ran over 500 performances. It was made into the 1954 movie by Alfred Hitchcock, starring Ray Milland and Grace Kelly, and also remade in 1998 as "A Perfect Murder" starring Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow.

MIRACLE ON 34TH ST. [Nov 7 - Nov 15]
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)

DRACULA [Nov 12 - Nov 21]
by Bram Stoker and adapted to the stage by John Mattera
There have been many adaptations of Dracula of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, which was first adapted to the stage in 1927. It's the story of British solicitor Jonathan Harker's trip to Transylvania and his stay in the castle of the reclusive Count Dracula. His fiancee Mina and her friend Lucy struggle to succumb to the powers of Dracula and Jonathan is threatened by the vampire "brides" of Dracula. There is also the strange case of Dr. Seward's patient Renfield, who seems to have an insatiable desire for blood. It's up to Dr. Seward's old professor Van Helsing to destroy Dracula and the vampires and save Jonathan, Mina, and Lucy before it's too late.

ARSENIC & OLD LACE [Aug 11 - Aug 14]
by Joseph Kesselring
The farcical black comedy revolves around Mortimer Brewster, a drama critic who must deal with his crazy, homicidal family and local police in Brooklyn, NY, as he debates whether to go through with his recent promise to marry the woman he loves. His two spinster aunts have taken to murdering lonely old men by poisoning them with a glass of home-made elderberry wine laced with arsenic; a brother who believes he is Teddy Roosevelt; and a murderous brother who has received plastic surgery performed by an alcoholic accomplice, Dr. Einstein, to conceal his identity and now looks like Frankenstein-monster actor Boris Karloff. The 1941 play actually starred Boris Karloff and played 1,444 performances. The film, released in 1944, starred Josephine Hull and Cary Grant, and was directed by Frank Capra.

The con man and his ex-convicts, through a cleverly constructed deception, convince Susy that the police have implicated Sam in a woman's murder, and the doll, which she believes is the key to his innocence, is evidence.
