The Heiress
By Ruth and Augustus Goetz
March 4, 5, 6, 10, 11 & 12, 2011

Adapted from the Henry James novella Washington Square, this richly nuanced play follows the maturation of a naive young woman whose emotionally distant father prevents her marriage to a suspected fortune hunter. Critically acclaimed as a timeless classic, The Heiress remains impressive today for its profound character relationships. Its shattering climax is justly famous.

When a supremely untalented leading lady mysteriously dies opening night, her show's cast and crew become the lead suspects. Can a fervently stage-struck police detective solve the mystery? More importantly, can he save the show??? Kander and Ebb, the legendary team that brought us Chicago and Cabaret, have created another bright and brassy musical comedy - one that is also a riotous portrait of theatre behind the scenes.

Blithe Spirit
By Noel Coward
November 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, & 13, 2010

With a heavy dollop of witty banter, this classic comedy of whimsy and the occult concerns the haunting of suave novelist Charles Condomine by the ghost of his attractive, but morally untidy first wife. What follows is a darkly funny competition between two women, one dead, one living, who battle for possession of their husband. Count on the after-life to turn a complacent marriage into a prickly menage-a-trois.

Perfect Wedding
By Robin Hawdon
January 14, 15, 16, 20, 21 & 22, 2011

A man wakes up on the day of his wedding to find himself in bed with a very attractive woman that, through the blur of his stag-night hangover, he can't even remember meeting. Before she can depart, the groom's best man, his bride-to-be, the hotel maid and the mother of the bride begin arriving. Through a side-splitting maze of plot twists, snappy dialogue and slapstick humor, hilarity ensues - along with a touching love story.
