Don't Dress for Dinner is a frenetic case of mistaken identity with more twists than a corkscrew. When Jacqueline decides to visit her mother for a few days, her husband Bernard sees an opportunity for a cozy weekend with his new mistress. His bachelor pal Robert calls to announce his return from Hong Kong, so Bernard invites him along as his alibi, also hiring a Cordon Bleu-level cook to cater a delicious dinner. But when Jacqueline realizes Robert is coming for a visit everything changes, and the high speed farce begins! One impossible situation leads to another as the hapless friend Robert finds himself the target of both amorous attention and wrathful vengeance, while Bernard tries desperately to salvage a scrap of illicit bliss from the wreckage of a weekend.

John Steinbeck’s classic tale of friendship follows two migrant workers in California during the Great Depression. George Milton looks after his mentally-disabled friend, Lennie Small, as they travel looking for work. The two men hope to one day settle down on their own piece of land, but their plans of living the American Dream prove difficult to achieve.

When a ranch boss' promiscuous wife is found dead in the barn with a broken neck, it's obvious that Lennie, albeit accidentally, killed her. George is faced with a moral question: how should he deal with Lennie before the ranchers find him and take matters into their own hands.

Truly comic repartee

Fridays & Saturdays, March 19, 20, 26, 27, April 2, 3, 2010 at 8pm.

Back stabbing, spying, double crossing and rampant infidelity - a typical family Christmas. Typical, that is, for the Plantagenets. King Henry II of England and the strong-willed Eleanor of Aquitaine battle over which of their sons will inherit the Crown.

Uneasy is the head on which the crown lies, and uneasy the truce between a matchless king and queen. This mundane history is glorified in language that is brilliant in its ability to characterize, its rhetorical impact, its actability, and its generative power. Few since Shakespeare have had such a marvelous gift for truly comic repartee.

What better way to welcome the summer than with an old fashioned musical melodrama filled with cheering the hero and booing the villain? 

  • OBSERVE the downfall of innkeeper Simon Slade, upright proprietor of the Sickle and Sheaf Tavern as he is ensnared by the spirits which are his stock and trade!
  • WITNESS Little Mary, the pure of heart daughter of the town drunkard, Joe Morgan, as she beseeches him in song “Father, Oh Father, Come Home With Me Now”!
  • SHED A TEAR as Little Mary becomes a blameless victim of the tavern and is welcomed home to the angels after she is inadvertently struck by a bar glass that has been savagely thrown through the tavern door!
  • CHEER the salvation of Joe Morgan as he vows to never again touch another drop of the devil’s drink!
  • THRILL as Goldie Hills, the saloon singer with a heart of gold, is lashed to a mooring post by the villainess Harvey Green on a cold and misty night and is then left in the rising tide to tragically drown!  
  • APPLAUD as the redeemed Joe Morgan intrepidly comes to rescue and releases Goldie seconds before she would meet her watery doom!  

Don’t miss Ten Nights in a Barroom, a side-splitting EXTAVAGANZA filled with FUN and LAUGHTER for the WHOLE FAMILY.

Who can forget the great comedy, “Some Like It Hot.”  It’s 1929 and two down and out musicians happen to witness the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.  They’re desperate to get out of Chicago before the mob gets them too.  So, they dress up as women and join an all girl band heading for Florida. Unforgettable hilarity ensues as one of the musicians falls for Sugar, the bands lead singer; while the other is trying to avoid a rich suitor who won’t take “no” for an answer.  All the while, the mob is HOT on their trail.

Take this story and add a Julie Styne and Bob Merrill score and this 1973 Tony nominated musical brings fun for the whole family.
