2012 Season

 

 

 

 

 

 

 By Tom Taggart 

Directed by Bill Bynon

 

 The lure of the Old West of heroes, of redskins biting the dust, of lily pure maidens and black hearted gamblers, of the never ending "Game of Gold" are fashioned into a blood and thunder melodrama with the most exciting situations, colorful characters and the most amusing dialogue from the period’s dime store novels. Long lost daughters, stolen gold mines, kidnapped heroines and hairbreadth escapes abound!

 By Philip King

 Directed by Bill Bynon

 

 

 

This fast paced farce features an American actor and actress, a cockney maid who has seen too many American movies, an old maid who "touches alcohol for the first time in her life," four men in clergyman suits and a sedate Bishop aghast at all these goings on, all galloping in and out of the four doors of an English vicarage trying to find who is the escaped prisoner.

 By A.R. Gurney

 Directed by John Kelsey

 

 

 

A modern romantic comedy about a marriage and a dog. "Dramatic literature is stuffed with memorable love scenes, but none is as immediately delicious and dizzy as the one that begins the redeeming affair in A.R. Gurney's new comedy, SYLVIA…" NY Times. "I can only call it one of the most involving, beautiful, funny, touching and profound plays I have ever seen…" NY Daily News. "Gurney's mad comedy is the most endearing good time to trot down the pike in many a moon. Howlingly funny…" BackStage.

 By Moss Hart and George S. Kauffman

 Directed by Larry Sheaf

  

 

One of the most popular plays of modern times and a Pulitzer Prize winner, this comedy features a wacky list of characters. If the Sycamores seem mad, the rest of the world is madder. In contrast to these delightful people are the unhappy Kirbys. The plot shows how Tony, attractive young son of the Kirbys, falls in love with Alice Sycamore and brings his parents to dine at the Sycamore home on the wrong evening. You have to see this delightful comedy to find out how it ends.
