He is apprehensive about performing the difficult part of Hamlet in the prestigious Shakespeare in Central Park festival. When the ghost of John Barrymore, fortified by champagne and ego, arrives, Andrew's life is not his own as Barrymore presses him to accept the part and fulfill his actor's destiny. The laughs are nonstop as Andrew wrestles with his conscience, Barrymore, his sword, and the fact that he fails as Hamlet in Central Park. Absolutely a hoot!

The Pajama Game is a musical based on the novel "7½ Cents" by George Abbot and Richard Bissell. It features a score by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross. The story deals with labor troubles in a pajama factory, where worker demands for a seven-and-a-half cents raise are going unheeded. In the midst of this ordeal, love blossoms between Babe, the grievance committee head, and Sid, the new factory superintendent.

The original Broadway production opened on May 13, 1954, and ran for 1,063 performances. It was revived in 1973, and again in 2006 by The Roundabout Theatre Company. The original production won a Tony for Best Musical, and the 2006 Broadway revival won a Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical. The music includes "Hey, There," "Steam Heat," "Hernando's Hideaway," "There Once Was a Man," and 20 other Adler and Ross classic tunes from the original production.

2005 Tony Award Winner for Best Revival of a Play. This insightful play focuses on an aging couple, Ethel and Norman Thayer, who spend each summer at their Maine home on a lake called Golden Pond. During the year the story takes place, it is Norman's 80th birthday and they are visited by their daughter, Chelsea, whom they haven't seen in years, with her fiancé and his young son in tow. They are on their way to Europe and ask her parents to watch the 13-year-old boy while they're away. Ethel and Norman reluctantly agree and as the summer fades, the three grow close and the boy becomes the grandson they always wanted. This heartwarming story explores the often turbulent relationship of a young woman and her father and the difficulties faced by a couple in the twilight years of a long marriage. An American classic!


MAY 2012
'Crimes of the Heart'
Comedy/Drama by Beth Henley
Performances: May 18, 19, 20*, 24, 25, 26 & 27*
Auditions: April 15 &16
Director: Karen Poulsen

Tickets: Adults - $16, Seniors - $15, Students under 18 - $8

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this warm-hearted play teems with humanity and humor as it examines the plight of three sisters in Hazlehurst, Mississippi. They have gathered to await news of the family patriarch, their grandfather, who is living out his last hours in the local hospital. Lenny, the oldest, is unmarried and facing diminishing marital prospects; Meg, the middle sister, who quickly outgrew Hazlehurst, is back after a failed singing career on the West Coast; while Babe, the youngest, is out on bail after having shot her husband in the stomach. Their troubles, grave and yet somehow hilarious, are highlighted by their priggish cousin, Chick, and by an awkward young lawyer who tries to keep Babe out of jail while helpless not to fall in love with her. In the end, the play is the story of how its young characters escape the past to seize the future-but the telling is so true and touching and consistently hilarious that it will linger in the mind long after the curtain has descended.

SUMMER 2011
'The Foreigner'
Comedy by Larry Shue
Auditions: June 19 & 20 at 7 p.m.
Performances: July 29, 30, & 31*, August 5, 6 & 7*
Director: Patti Earl

Tickets: Adults - $16, Seniors - $15, Students under 18 - $8

An inspired comic romp! "Froggy" LeSeuer, a British demolition expert, arrives at a fishing lodge in rural Georgia to run training sessions at a nearby army base. "Froggy" has brought along a friend, a pathologically shy young man named Charlie who is overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. So "Froggy," before departing, tells all assembled that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English! Once alone the fun really begins, as Charlie overhears more than he should-the evil plans of a sinister, two-faced minister and his redneck associate; the fact that the minister's pretty fiancée is pregnant; and many other damaging revelations made with the thought that Charlie doesn't understand a word being said. This fuels the nonstop hilarity of the play and sets up a wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously awry for the "bad guys" and the "good guys" emerge triumphant.
