Director:  Bert Smith

September 7, 8, 14, 15*, 15, 20, 21, 22, 2012

McFaddin-Ward Auditorium

 

True love, true lust, a pimp, a pauper, fun and frolic, mystery and mayhem, and just when you think there is no hope for a fairytale ending a happy ending! Based on a Greek comedy and revamped with music by Sondheim, the play stays true to it's root's but throws in a little of that almost, but not quite to the edge 60's humor.

DEAD MAN'S CELL PHONE

Director:  Michael Saar

October 19, 20, 26, 27*, 27, November 1, 2, 3, 2012

McMillan Theatre

 

An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet café. A stranger at the next table who has had enough. And a dead man – with a lot of loose ends. So begins Dead Man’s Cell Phone, a wildly imaginative new comedy by playwright Sarah Ruhl. A work about how we memorialize the dead – and how that remembering changes us – it is the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality & redemption in a technologically obsessed world. NOTE: Adult Language, for Mature Audiences Only.

 

WHITE CHRISTMAS

Director:  Jerry McMillan

November 30, December 1*, 1, 7, 8*, 8, 14, 15*, 15, 2012

McFaddin-Ward Auditorium

 

Bob Wallace and Phil Davis, two iconic song-and-dance men, follow a sister act to Vermont, only to discover that the nearly-bankrupt lodge they were to perform at is owned by their former commanding general.

 
HAY FEVER

Director:  Robert Fong

January 18, 19, 25, 26*, 26, 31, February 1, 2, 2013

McMillan Theatre

 

A comedy of bad manners which starts with the arrival of four guests, invited independently by different members of the Bliss family for a weekend at their country house near Maidenhead. The promise of an idyllic weekend is quickly trounced by the self-absorbed eccentricities of the family who leave the guests to slink away humiliated, embarrassed and abandoned.

 

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

Director:  David Hornack

February 22, 23, March 1, 2*, 2, 7, 8, 9, 2013

McFaddin-Ward Auditorium

 

Algernon and Jack are friends who invented imaginary people as an excuse to get out of engagements. Jack's “person”, Ernest, is a brother with a wild past. The two conspire to woo the ladies they love, and through a series of mishaps, must gently deceive to get what they want. The end result is a play of incomparable quality, full of witticisms that are highly quotable out of context. In fact the entire play is quotable; such is its brilliance.

 

RABBIT HOLE

Director:  Donny Avery

March 29, 30, April 5, 6*, 6, 11, 12, 13, 2013

McMillan Theatre

 

Dealing with the most traumatic event any parent can endure – the death of a child – David Lindsay-Abaire manages to involve his audience and illustrate how we all grieve differently and for different lengths of time. Despite the subject matter, this 2007 Pulitzer Prize-winning play is often extremely funny, setting up emotional contrasts between ironic humor and infinite sadness which make the loss of the child more poignant.

 
CAMELOT

Director:  Paula Bothe

May 10, 11, 17, 18*, 18, 23, 24, 25, 2013

McFaddin-Ward Auditorium

 

In this lavish adaptation of the Broadway musical, the music and lyrics of Loewe and Lerner weave this story into an intricate tapestry of unforgettable heart-stirring emotions. Camelot is a timeless romantic drama that takes us to a medieval world that could only be imagined in your most romantic fantasy. The humor is witty, the music is unforgettable and the world of Camelot has scenes that are beyond compare.
