Presenting our summer Shakespeare:
The Merry Wives of Windsor
(Performances: July 20 – 28, 2024)
Directed by Jim Porter
The Merry Wives of Windsor is a fun frolic,
a comedy that lampoons the idea that the men are the cleverer of the sexes,
and that reinforces the concept of true love. With themes of love and
marriage, jealousy and revenge, social class and wealth, and plot points
such as Falstaff sending identical love letters to two wealthy married
women, and three different men vying for the hand of the young Anne Page, it's a bit reminiscent of a soap opera. So while remaining true to Shakespeare's language in our condensed version, we're presenting this play as a modern-day soap opera, complete with villains, heroes/heroines, clever characters and oafish egotistical suitors. This rollicking comedic romp focuses on the town of Windsor and is the only Shakespearean play located totally in England. We hope that you will come to laugh, to think, and to enjoy.

Announcing auditions for our fall show:
How I Learned to Drive
August 25, 28, 2024
(Performances: November 8 – 23, 2024)
Directed by J. Mark Baumhardt
Winner of the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, How I Learned to Drive
is a darkly humorous and moving tale about a woman's complicated relationship
with her charismatic uncle. The story follows Li'l Bit's path from
adolescence to adulthood as she discovers family secrets, navigates
growing pains, and develops her own sense of right and wrong. Vogel's
unfiltered examination of Li'l Bit's drive towards womanhood resonates
as strongly today as when it was first staged.
