Announcing the New 2013 Season!
We are getting ready for our 80th Anniversary and are thrilled to offer a season of past favorites (and new soon-to-be favorites) to mark the occasion!
Say Goodnight Gracie opens the season and stars Joel Rooks as George Burns, the beloved comedian/raconteur.
2 Pianos 4 Hands is back with the incomparable Tom Frey exhibiting his extraordinary piano and acting skills.
Seagull, a new adaptation by Gus Kaikkonen of Chekhov’s brilliant play is in the third slot.
Next is Laughing Stock, a hilarious backstage farce and affectionate look into the world of summer theatre, written by Charles Morey, former artistic director of the Peterborough Players.
Two more very popular comedies follow: Absurd Personal Singular and the classic romantic comedy Talley’s Folly.
The season closes with Tea for Three, a one-woman behind-the-scenes look at three first ladies: Lady Bird Johnson, Pat Nixon, and Betty Ford, all played by Emmy Award-winning actress Elaine Bromka.
Our two Second Company shows for children and their families are Snow White (a modern take on the classic tale) and Scapino!, a hilariously madcap comedy based on a Molière play and appropriate for everyone.
