Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Posted by David On April - 15 - 2012

A musical comedy by Jeffrey Lane and David Yazbek

June 7-July 1, 2012

Based on the popular 1988 film, DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS centers on two con men living on the French Riviera. The first is the suave and sophisticated Lawrence Jameson, who makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money. The other, a small-time crook named Freddy Benson, more humbly swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories about his grandmother’s failing health.
After meeting on a train, they unsuccessfully attempt to work together only to find that this small French town isn’t big enough for the two of them. They agree on a settlement: the first one to extract $50,000 from a young female target, heiress Christine Colgate, wins and the other must leave town. A hilarious battle of cons ensues, that will keep audiences laughing, humming and guessing to the end!

Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening performances at 8pm; Sunday matinee at 4pm

Cabaret

Posted by David On March - 1 - 2012

A musical, Book by Joe Masteroff, based on the play by John Van Druten and Stories by Christopher Isherwood.  Music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb

August 2-26, 2012

The scene is a night club in Berlin, as the 1920′s are drawing to a close. The Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience to the show and assures them that, whatever their troubles, they will forget them at the Cabaret. His songs provide wry commentary throughout the show. On the train to Berlin we find Cliff, a young American writer, and Ernst, a German who surprises Cliff by putting his briefcase among Cliff’s luggage at the German border. History is in the process of being made. Musical numbers include It Couldn’t Please Me More, Willkommen, Cabaret, Don’t Tell Mama and Two Ladies. We find Cliff on the train again, now leaving Berlin alone. He writes about Sally and the people of Berlin leading up to the Third Reich. It has been a tumultuous and heartbreaking era.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening performances at 8pm; Sunday matinees at 4pm

Tickets: $25/$22 Seniors/$20 Members/$15 Students. Group rates are avialable for parties of 10 or more with 1 payment.

Five Women Wearing the Same Dress

Twelve Angry Men

Posted by David On January - 15 - 2012

A drama by Reginald Rose

October 4-21 , 2012

A 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. “He doesn’t stand a chance,” mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and-shut case—until one of the jurors begins opening the others’ eyes to the facts. “This is a remarkable thing about democracy,” says the foreign-born juror, “that we are notified by mail to come down to this place—and decide on the guilt or innocence of a man; of a man we have not known before. We have nothing to gain or lose by our verdict. We should not make it a personal thing.” But personal  it does become, with each juror revealing his or her own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted and a new murder threat is born before their eyes!  Tempers get short, arguments grow heated, and the jurors become 12 angry men. The jurors’ final verdict and how they reach it—intense scenes that will electrify your audience and keep them on the edge of their seats—add up to a fine, mature piece of dramatic literature, an experience you’ll be proud to present.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening performances at 8pm; Sunday matinees at 4pm

Tickets: $22/$19 Seniors/$17 Members/$15 Students. Group rates available for parties of 10 or more with one payment.
