Wait Until Dark
Written by Frederick Knott
Directed by Linda Suttle

Three criminals have traced the location of a mysterious doll, which they are very much interested
in, to the Greenwich Village apartment of Sam Hendrix and his blind wife, Susy. Sam has been persuaded by a strange woman to transport this doll back across the Canadian Border. He is unaware that sewn inside the doll is something that the three criminals want desperately to recover. Through a cleverly constructed deception they convince Susy that the police have implicated her husband Sam in a local murder and the doll is the key to his innocence, thereby getting Susy to assist in finding the doll. With the help of a young neighbor girl she realizes that she is the victim of a bizarre charade, and she is now in very serious danger.



Playing January 7th - Feburary 11th.
Dearly Departed
Written by David Bottrell and Jessie Jones
Directed by Luke Allen Terry

Despite their earnest efforts to pull themselves together for their father's funeral, the Turpin family's other problems keep overshadowing the solemn occasion: Firstborn Ray-Bud drinks himself silly as the funeral bills mount; Junior, the younger son, is juggling financial ruin, a pack of no-neck monster kids, and a wife who suspects him of infidelity in the family car; their spinster sister, Delightful, copes with death as she does life, by devouring junk food; and all the neighbors add more than two cents. Amidst the chaos, the Turpins turn for comfort to their friends and neighbors, an eccentric community of misfits who just manage to pull together and help each other through their time of need in this gut-busting Southern fried comedy!
 

Playing May 26th - June 30th.



Beau Jest
Written by James Sherman
Directed by Katie Mangett

Sarah is a nice Jewish girl with a problem: her parents want her married to a nice Jewish boy. They have never met her boyfriend, a WASP executive named Chris Kringle. She tells them she is dating a Jewish doctor and they insist on meeting him. She plans a dinner party and, over the heated protests of Chris, employs an escort service to send her a Jewish date to be “Dr. Steinberg.” Instead, they send Bob Schroeder, an aspiring actor who agrees to perform the impersonation. Happily, he is extremely convincing in the role and Sarah's parents are enraptured. Soon, even Sarah falls for Bob!
