2009 Season

By Noel Coward
Directed by Frank Malle

Feb 6 - Mar 7

Often considered Noel Coward's finest play, this 1930 original won a Tony for Best Revival on Broadway in 2002. It concerns a recently divorced couple who unwittingly book adjoining suites at the same hotel for their honeymoons with their new spouses and find out they still care for each other.

Noises Off
By Michael Frayn
Directed by Gai Jones

Mar 28 - Apr 25

Leave it to an actor to write a play where the funniest action occurs backstage, but with equal hilarity on stage. The action happens as the hapless actors are putting on a most dreadful play called "Nothing On," and the audience is let in on the intrigue backstage by a troupe of truly funny characters.

Peter Pan
By J.M. Barrie
Youth Production
Directed by Gai Jones

May 15 - May 30

The wonderful classic story of a mischievous boy who magically flies and refuses to grow up. All the characters, played by actors young and adult, will grace our stage bringing to life Peter, Wendy, fairies and Captain Hook.


A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by Burt Shevelove &
Larry Gelbart

Directed by Tracey Williams
Musical Direction by Jimmy Calire

June 26 - July 26

Inspired by the famed Roman farces, a slave labors for his freedom by helping his master win the heart of a courtesan. Winner of several Tony Awards, this musical show is a bawdy, wild comedy that features plans gone awry.


Broadway Bound
By Neil Simon
Directed by Steve Grumette

Aug 14 - Sept 11

This is the third and final segment of Simon's autobiographical trilogy, and highlights the playwright's beginnings as a comedy writer. While the two brothers are working on comedy sketches, their home life is falling apart as their parents quarrel -- which of course becomes fodder for their radio skits that are too thinly disguised for their father's taste.

The Glass Menagerie
By Tennessee Williams
Directed by Tom Eubanks

Oct 2 - Nov 1

This is Williams' first successful play and it hit Broadway by storm in 1945 winning Best Play awards. Often considered an autobiographical drama, it was based on Williams' own short stories. The title refers to his sister Laura's collection of glass figures, one of which is broken the night that an engaged man kisses her. It marks a breaking up of the family.
