The Plays Stepping Out, is a comedy about seven women and one man trying to conquer their inhibitions and an over- abundance of left feet in a tap dance class held in a church. An ex-professional chorine tries her hardest to teach the amateurs some dancing skills for an upcoming recital. The students are truly a hilarious, motley but loveable crew who finally triumph at their recital. Directed by Troy Nickerson, musical direction by Becky Moonitz and choreography by Kathie Doyle-Lipe and Greg Pschirrer. Productions run March 9th - 25th.
Next is Neil Simon's Laughter on the 23rd Floor. Max Prince is a TV comedian under pressure, the network wants to cut his show and his gag writers want to keep their jobs. Max just wants to keep sane. Each week, a team of neurotic, egocentric scriptwriters, equipped with their armory of gags and one-liners, battle against all odds to produce television’s funniest variety show. But the real enemies, network bosses, rising production costs, low ratings and the specter of McCarthyism, are closing in. Productions run April 27th – May 20 th.
The final production of the season will be the adaptation of John Steinbeck's classic Of Mice and Men, a journey into 1930s Northern California for Nobel Prize-winner John Steinbeck's heart-wrenching American classic Of Mice and Men. One of the most celebrated works in American literature, it is the tale of George and Lennie, two lonely migrant workers who dream of a place they can call their own. Their friendship infuses the men with hope for their future. But, “the best laid plans o' mice and men” go awry when Lennie’s penchant for soft and cuddly things leads to tragedy, and George’s love and protection of his friend are tested to the limit. Productions run June 1st – 24th .
