MOON OVER BUFFALO
by Ken Ludwig
September 23 - 28, 2008
In 1953, struggling acting couple Charlotte and George Hay (B-list, self-proclaimed “stars”) are caught up in a tempestuous run of both Cyrano de Bergerac and Noel Coward’s Private Lives at the Erlanger Theatre in Buffalo, New York. When the dramatic duo hear that renowned director Frank Capra will be watching the matinee, Charlotte and George break into panic mode as they realize this may be their one last shot at Hollywood stardom. But secret affairs, drunken stupors, and missed cues can only end in a mess of misunderstanding and maddening misadventures. Is there a Doctor in the house, because Moon Over Buffalo will leave you in stitches!
Appropriate for most ages. Some parental guidance suggested.

ANDREW LIPPA'S WILD PARTY
Book, Music, and Lyrics by Andrew LIppa
Based on a poem by Joseph Moncure March
October 21 - 26, 2008
Adapted from March’s epic poem about the Roaring Twenties, Lippa’s Wild Party is the musical tale of Queenie, a dancer, and her tumultuous relationship with Burrs, a vaudeville clown. One night the world unhinges and during one wild party, the tension erupts. It’s prohibition, the world is on edge, and so are the guests. With jealousy as their weapon of choice, Queenie and Burrs battle it out and in the end, drastic measures will be taken and new lives will be found by the light of the new day. With an award-winning score by Andrew Lippa, Wild Party captures the sound of a long gone era of excess.

RECKLESS
by Craig Lucas
November 18 - 23, 2008
Lucas’ dark comedy takes us on the ride of a lifetime when Rachel climbs out the window into the wintery night to escape her husband’s insane plan to have her killed by a hired gun. Thrown into a world where crazy seems to be the new norm, how will she determine her own sanity and restore the sense of order that she once knew? Kooky and clever, Reckless is a farce to be reckoned with.

Brought to a world she will never love, by the only man she will, Medea is hurled into a life she never intended to live.

When Jason leaves his wife for the daughter of King Creon, Medea’s fragile world is shattered.

None are innocent.

HENRY V
by William Shakespeare
February 24 - March 1, 2009
The young Prince Hal assumes the title and troubles of King Henry. The former truant finds himself leading the British nation into a war with France over land he believes rightfully to be his. Gathering his armies, Henry crosses the English Channel to join a battle which will leave the country stained in blood and scarred beyond repair. The campaign leaves his soldiers sick and weary and the French outnumber them 60,000 to 12,000 on the eve of the great Battle of Agincourt. Will the boy king prove his mettle against the enemies of the crown? Will he more importantly win the hearts and minds of his own still distrustful subjects? William Shakespeare weaves a thick tapestry of warfare, wild spirits and the perils of leadership.
Appropriate for ages 10 and up.
