2011 - 2012 Season

Off we go! And this new season is a rare one! Three comedies, an Agatha Christie mystery, two plays wherein mothers contemplate murdering their sons (who hasn’t, but these gals really mean it!) and two musicals! If we had followed exactly the suggestions of most of our patrons when we selected the shows, we couldn’t have mapped a season more closely in line with their wishes.

In September, we open with The Unexpected Guest, an English murder mystery crafted as only Christie can do it. In November, we open Little Women, a musical for the whole family about Jo March (Louisa May Alcott) and how her beloved books came to be written. In January, we will brighten the winter blahs with the zany comedy, Cinderella Waltz by Don Nigro where the fairy tale runs aground on King Lear and Beauty and the Beast and our heroine opts off the princess track. In February, Neil Simon lifts our spirits with the touching and laughter-filled Chapter Two and in March, we will fill the theater with the bluegrass music and uplifting story of The Spitfire Grill. In May, Lee Blessing leaves us moved and affected by the two remarkable women in Going to St. Ives, and in June, we close the season with a third exhilarating comedy, Moonlight and Magnolias by Ron Hutchinson - a madcap recreation of the story behind the writing of the Gone With the Wind screenplay.
