Frederick has usurped his older brother's dukedom and exiled him.  The Duke's daughter Rosalind has been permitted to remain at court because she is the closest friend and cousin of Frederick's only child, Celia.  When Frederick becomes angry and banishes Rosalind from court, Celia and Rosalind decide to flee together with Rosalind disguised as a young man.  Well, hey--it's a Shakespeare comedy; you knew there would be cross-gender disguises, right?

A theatrical portrait of Henry II of England, the devious and incorrigible Eleanor of Aquitaine, and their passionate struggle for power.  A drama of Shakespearean fierceness, eloquence, and emotional impact.

December 2013
6, 7, 8*   Happy Hollandaise by Tim Koenig.   8PM *except 8th 2PM
Our annual Holiday Benefit Challenge, put together with few rehearsals, minimal set and props, read with scripts in hand.
Merry mayhem ensues in the household of the Finley family, in which the traditional family holiday dinner is disrupted by burglars, bumps-on-the-head, and bedlam.  A British farce reminiscent of Arsenic and Old Lace.

February 2014

Stand-up comic Eddie Jester has been mugged and is comatose.  His disembodied spirit offers up jokes and commentary, sometimes quite philosophical, on the events transpiring in his hospital room.  It's very funny, trust me.

The vintage 1930's musical!  Billy Crocker, a man in love, ends up on a luxury liner and is mistaken for Public Enemy #1.  Will his false notoriety interfere with the course of true love?  Lovely memorable Cole Porter tunes include "You're The Top," "I Get A Kick Out Of You," "Friendship," and of course: "Anything Goes."
