  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. by Ken Ludwig   and directed

  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!
