THE LION IN WINTER
by James Goldman. Directed by Jerry Johnson
Winter: February 19 - March 14, 2010
King Henry II of England has three sons by Eleanor
of Aquitaine: Richard, Geoffrey and John. He wants the kingdom to stay united
after his death, but all three sons want to rule and it is likely to be torn apart
by revolution. Henry wants son John to succeed him, but Eleanor favors Richard.
The story centers on the personality conflicts and shifting alliances among the
estranged couple and their adult sons and heirs to the throne. “A work of
intelligence, astringent wit, and much theatrical skill.” N.Y. Times

Matinees at 2:00 pm (2/28, 3/7, 3/14).

ARSENIC AND OLD
LACE
by Joseph Kesselring. Directed by Michael Sally
Spring: May 21 - June 13, 2010
For the clan known as Brewster insanity runs
in the family. Two sweet old aunts take it upon themselves to poison lonely old
men with nothing to live for, as an act of charity. Their nephew Mortimer has
just got married, and is trying to negotiate his way around the shenanigans of
the house, while trying to keep his new bride from fleeing. Shady brother John
returns from a world adventure involving using corpses to change his appearance
to allude capture. The merry mayhem continues with bugle-blowing brother Teddy
who is charged with burial duties. A ready made comedy hit!
Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm; Sunday Matinees

Bargain Night – 5/28

BOUND

Picking up where Brighton Beach Memoirs and Biloxi
Blues ended, part three of Neil Simon’s acclaimed autobiographical trilogy
finds Eugene and his older brother Stanley trying to break into the world of professional
comedy writing while coping with the breakup of their family. Their efforts to
come up with an idea for a comedy sketch sparkle with hilarity. “Expectedly
funny and unexpectedly moving.” N.Y. Times
