12 Angry Women / 12 Angry Men
Paul Fearn, Director
December 5—January 25
A zany spoof of British mysteries! There are secret chambers, panels and trap lids galore that are operated by ridiculous contrivances. A grand mixture of Agatha Christie, Monty Python and Abbott and Costello. The quick, smart, well-timed dialogue, combined with hilarious situations and physical antics make this high mad, melodrama a fun night at the theatre. Guaranteed to provide many laughs!

The Murder Room
Warren Harrison, Director
February 13-March 15
This Tony Award nominated play follows two proper London housewives who rent a villa in Italy for a holiday away from bleak marriages. Joined by two very different English women they fall under the spell of their idyllic, sun drenched surroundings. There they rediscover laughter and find just the romance they need, though not the romance we - or they - expect to find!

A sparkling original version of one of the great comedies of the French theatre! Into the home of the wealthy Orgon comes Tartuffe, a fraud and pious impostor who succeeds magnificently in winning the respect and devotion of the head of the house. Will Tartuffe’s duplicity be exposed ? Will Orgon come to his senses? A delightfully funny and pointed farce!

Tartuffe
Boots Martin, Director
May 22—June 21
This Pulitzer Prize winning depiction of a delightfully eccentric family relates the humorous encounter between the crazy household of Grandpa Vanderhof, and his family of idiosyncratic individualists versus the conservative family of his granddaughter's suitor. Their wholehearted pursuit of happiness fills the stage with chaotic activity and witty one-liners!
