"Aladdin"
by Craig Sodaro
September 11-20, 2009
Directed by Amanda Moss
Romance, mystery and more fun than a magic carpet ride—that’s what makes this richly imaginative version of the story of Aladdin such a winner. You’ll love all the colorful characters, including Yahoo and his pet snake, who serve as narrators; the evil magician, El Kahsid; the beautiful Princess Celestia; the spoiled, obnoxious Gorgan; the lamp and ring Genies; the poetic cave creeps; and finally Aladdin himself, who starts out as a lazy, insolent boy but proves himself to be a prince. If you wish for a evening full of magical entertainment for the entire family, choose “Aladdin”! |
The Adult Season
"Frank's Life"
by Mark Dunn
November 6-22, 2009
Frank is the star of his own soap opera: Frank’s Life. Unfortunately for poor Frank, he doesn’t know it. Nor does he realize that his wife, mother, sister and best friend, indeed everyone he has met since the age of 3 are actors. A darkly funny allegory about an everyman—honest, good and true—who learns that he has lost title to his very life—and his final showdown with corporate powers to win back that life and stake out his own spot in a world without artifice. |
"It Had to Be You"
by Renée Taylor & Joseph Bologna
January 15-31, 2010
Directed by Ves Spindler
This delightful comedy is about two lonely people: Theda Blau, a failed actress, health-food nut, (an all-around fruitcake) and would-be playwright who wants to find love and success in New York, and Vito Pignoli, a hugely successful TV commercial director. By holding him hostage in her apartment on a snowy Christmas Eve, she tries to convince him to be her partner both on the page and off. “A cartoon comedy of great dexterity and loving warmth.”—NY Post; “Something of a comic miracle. . . . A funny, funny, and finally touching play.”—WCBS-TV |
"Belongings"
by Daniel Fenton
April 9-25, 2010
Three generations of women find themselves at a crossroads following the death of the family’s matriarch. Reeling from the loss of her grandmother, 14-year-old Katy is determined to keep her grandmother’s spirit alive and promises that her home and belongings will remain intact. The promise flies in the face of her family’s plans for an estate sale and draws the battle lines between Katy and her mother, aunt and great-aunt. Overnight, Katy and her sister Jimmie call an all-out war—reversing preparations for the sale and moving everything back into the house. The family’s failure to confront the issues of death and grief create a storm of pent-up emotion on estate-sale day. |

"My Son is Crazy—But Promising"
By Tim Kelly
June 18-27, 2010
Eccentric Bud Granger, Hollywood screenwriter, decides to give up life in the fast lane and buys a lodge in Tumbleweed, Arizona. The inn is a termite pile, but as it’s near the fabled “Lost Dutchman Mine,” and Bud thinks he might soon be a reclusive millionaire. What he didn’t figure on is that the lodge is filled with nuts ... a Little Old Lady who is in touch with “Space People”; outraged tourists who thought the lodge would be like the Ritz; Oysters Rockefeller, an emotional mobster who won’t stay dead; aspiring starlet Chi-Chi Vazoom who finds lizards “cute.” Then Bud’s zany mother unexpectedly arrives! And did we mention the FBI, a corpse on roller skates, the state lottery, the mysterious flight bag, brussels sprouts on a stick? Despite the madness, miraculously, and true to the author’s style, all problems are finally—and hilariously—resolved. Another wonderful entertainment for the entire family.
