Fall Farce: Charley's Aunt November 2010
Jack and Charley, undergraduates at Oxford, have each fallen in love. But without a chaperone, they can't meet their girls, Amy and Kitty. Luckily, Charley's Aunt from Brazil ("where the nuts come from") is coming for a visit. The girls are invited and all is well until...
The aunt is delayed, they force Lord Babberly into a dress, and the girls arrive. What could possibly go wrong?
Charley's Aunt, the gold standard for British Farce, is a wild ride of mistaken identity, witty dialogue, and slapstick humor. Auditions will be at the end of July. The show dates are November 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20 @ 7:30 and November 13 @ 1pm.

Spring Musical: By Jeeves April 2011
The Spring Musical for 2011 will be 'By Jeeves" a musical adapted by Alan Aykbourne, with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber. This fun musical was based on the stories by PG Wodehouse---about a spoiled young man, Wooster, that is born into wealth and priviledge, but always seems to get himself into trouble. Thank goodness that he has a rather insightful butler, Jeeves, that tends to make everything go just the way he wants!

Spring Classic: Arsenic and Old Lace May/June 2011
Our Spring Classic is a play that is an old favorite, and is not to be missed. We are doing "Arsenic and Old Lace", that funny madcap black comedy from Joseph Kesselring. This slapstick play, with murderous aunts compassionately serving up elderberry wine to elderly gentlemen and with their crazy nephew assisting by burying the unfortunate victims, is a delightful romp, where every character has a secret! The auditions are at the beginning of April, 2011 and the show will run May 19, 20, 21, 26, 27, 28, June 2, 3, 4 at 7:30 and May 28 at 1:00 p.m. (NOTE THE DATE CHANGES FROM THE SEASON MAGNETS!)
