Arsenic and Old Lace

By Joseph Kesselring
September 24-26, Oct. 1-3, 2010

It's Halloween and New York drama critic Mortimer Brewster is trying to deal with revelations that his family is apparently crazy. As Mortimer discovers, his two sweet, loving spinster aunts have been taking it upon themselves to poison lonely old men with nothing to live for, as an act of charity. His brothers are no better, as one believes he is Teddy Roosevelt and the other is a criminal on the lam who has received plastic surgery and shows up looking like horror-film actor Boris Karloff. Hilarity ensues, as Mortimer tries to juggle his family, the cops and the woman he loves, whom he has recently promised to marry. Join us for this wonderful black comedy romp that is one of the most beloved and performed plays in American community theater.

 
A Christmas Carol
A play by John Jakes from the Charles Dickens' novel
December 3-5 and 10-12, 2010
 
Originally published in 1843, Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol' has become the most enduring and beloved Christmas tale of modern times. The story tells of the sour and stingy Ebenezer Scrooge and his less than charitable bah-humbug attitude towards Christmas. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is haunted by the ghosts of his late partner Jacob Marley, and the Spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Faced with his own mortality and the evil results of his miserly ways, Scrooge ultimately redeems himself, becoming a generous and loving uncle, neighbor, and second father to his assistant's son, Tiny Tim. Written by New York Times bestselling author, John Jakes, the play is a holiday must-see for all ages, capturing the magic and mystique of the Dickens original and reminding us once again of the true meaning of Christmas.

To Kill a Mockingbird
by Christopher Sergel
APRIL 15-17 and 21-23, 2011
 
Based upon the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel (1960) by Harper Lee, ‘Mockingbird’ takes place in 1935 rural Alabama, where widowed lawyer Atticus Finch defends a black man accused of a grave crime against a white woman. Filtered through the eyes of Finchs' young children, Scout and Jem, the story is renowned for its warmth and humor, despite dealing with the serious issues of racial inequality, class and the destruction of innocence. As the children begin to see and understand the injustice of the prejudice which pervades their world, they are  better able to appreciate the courage and compassion of  their quiet, reserved father as he attempts to stand up for what's right. One of the most important works dealing with race in America of the last century.
