Season
"Lust, Laughs and Love"
The Sunshine Boys
September 4-5, 10-13, 2009
As the legendary vaudeville team The Sunshine Boys, Willie Clark and Al Lewis had it all: hilarious gags, classic sketches and faultless comic timing. Together for forty-three years, they achieved national fame; apart, they’re a couple of lonely old men, nursing grudges against each other. They reluctantly reunite for a one-shot opportunity to be in the limelight in this touchingly funny story of friendship and reconciliation.
Crimes of the Heart
October 23-24, 29-Nov. 1, 2009
Beth Henley’s Pulitzer prize and Tony winning comedy-tragedy focuses on three sisters that are reunited after the youngest sister Babe has shot her rich attorney husband and was sent to jail. There’s no doubt that the Magrath sisters are more than a little nutty. Painfully shy oldest sister Lenny is afraid to date, brash middle sister Meg is wildly promiscuous, and, of course, youngest sister Babe just shot her husband. But these three characters are so sweet and well-intentioned that you can’t help loving them just the same.
Cinderella
December 4-5, 10-13, 2009
Cinderella, the timeless, enchanting, magical fairy tale, is reborn with the Rodgers & Hammerstein hallmarks of originality, charm and elegance. Originally presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella was the most widely viewed program in the history of the medium. Now it’s adapted for the stage with great warmth and more than a touch of hilarity, and the hearts of children and adults alike still soar when the slipper fits.
Bus Stop
February 5-6, 11-14, 2010
In the middle of a snowstorm, the passengers on a bus from Kansas City are forced to hole up in a cheerful roadside diner until morning. Cherie, a nightclub chanteuse in a sparkling gown and a seedy fur-trimmed jacket, is the passenger with most to worry about. She’s been pursued, made love to and finally kidnapped by a twenty-one-year-old cowboy with a ranch of his own and the romantic methods of an unusually headstrong bull. But there’s much more in this play, by Pulitzer Prize and Oscar-winning playwright William Inge, and you’ll have to see it to find out what.
Moon Over Buffalo
April 9-10, 15-18, 2010
In Moon Over Buffalo by Ken Ludwig, George and Charlotte Hay, fading stars of the 1950s, are playing Private Lives and Cyrano de Bergerac in rep in Buffalo, New York with five actors. On the brink of a disastrous split-up caused by George’s dalliance with a young ingénue, they receive word that they might just have one last shot at stardom. Unfortunately for George and Charlotte, everything that could go wrong does go wrong, including a visit from their daughter’s clueless fiancé and hilarious uncertainty about which play they’re actually performing, caused by Charlotte’s deaf, old stage-manager mother who hates every bone in George’s body.
