 LEND
ME A TENOR
 February 22 - March 16
   Lend Me a Tenor by Ken Ludwig
and directed by Sonia Smith, is a clever and wildly
entertaining contemporary farce that
 sends audiences on a wild romp of desperate
measures  and compromising situations.” In
simple terms, farce  is broad,
 basic comedy in which confusion, mistaken
identity, innuendo  and slapstick are key
elements. Max, Assistant to Mr. Saunders,
 goes on to give the performance of his life
and win his heart’s  delight, Saunders’ daughter
Maggie. But before a happy  
 ending for all, chaos reigns in this spectacular
“farce de résistance”.  Audiences are in for
a delightful and amusing treat  
 as one side-splitting adventure after another
unfolds  for this outrageous cast of characters.

 THE
FOREIGNER
 May 16 - June 8
   It is a stormy night in spring
 as two Englishmen, Staff Sergeant "Froggy"
LeSueur and  his friend Charlie Baker, enter
 the log cabin fishing lodge owned and operated
by Betty Meeks  in Tilghman County, Georgia,
two hours South of Atlanta.  
 Every year, Froggy serves as a munitions
instructor for the American  army, and this
year he has brought his shy and
 sad friend, Charlie,  who is now
terrified about being left alone for three  days
with strangers while Froggy leads his
 training  sessions. Froggy introduces
him as a "foreigner" who can't speak or understand  English.
Overhearing the
 plot of the Reverend David and  Owen
Musser to buy Betty's lodge and turn it into a  meeting
place for the Ku Klux Klan,
 Charlie ultimately leads Betty,  Catherine,
and Ellard in a successful fight against  these
villains that is uproariously
 zany comedy. It’s  fun for the
whole family.
 OUR
TOWN
 August 29 - September 21
   The Stage Manager shows us glimpses
of several days in the life of Grover's Corners, New
Hampshire in 1900, 1903
 and about nine years after that. The Webb
and  Gibbs families live next to each other
and their children  Emily and
 George are  childhood sweethearts
who eventually decide to marry.  The Stage
Manager examines everyday life
 from several  points of  view,
all of which prepares us for a harsh lesson: The  living
seem barely aware of the
 miracle of their lives, and even less
 aware of how fleeting a lifetime can be.
Thornton Wilder  brings us a profound,
 strange,  unworldly significance
 with “Our Town”. This is less the portrait
of a town than the sublimation the
 commonplace; and in contrast with the universe
that silently swims around it; it is brimming over
with compassion.
 GREETINGS!
 November 7 - November 30
  The plot of Tom Dudzick’s 5-character
comedy begins simply enough. A young man brings home
his Jewish atheist fiancé
 to meet his very Catholic parents on Christmas
Eve, paving the way for what seems to be a most interesting
(and explosive)
 family occasion. All of this is soon changed
however by a truly incredible event that will make all
concerned realize that there
 is a bond between them and helps them realize
that instead of focusing and what makes them different
and distanced from
 each other, they must first face the truth
of what ties them together. It’s an antidote, not only
for pre-holiday anxiety, but
 for the apathy of modern life. “Greetings!”
is a comedy, a domestic drama, a fantasy and the kind
of play that comes along
 all too rarely. Don’t miss it!
