The Alibis - by Tyler Dwiggins, Jonathan Dorf, Kathryn Funkhouser, Patrick Greene, Mora V. Harris, Jason Pizzarello, Ian McWethy, Carrie McWethy (McCrossen)
When eccentric billionaire J. Leslie Arlington is murdered, a clueless detective finds the suspects are all reluctant to admit their alibis . . . because they were all committing other ridiculous crimes at the time. You never know what's coming next when your suspects include disgruntled chefs, teen detectives, and vengeful divas, but one thing's for certain: Every alibi is absolutely absurd.
Performance dates-July 19-28, 2024, Auditions-May 20-21, 2024
Amy’s Wish - by Tom Sharkey--NOTE LOCATION CHANGE TO BOARD OF EDUCATION AUDITORIUM
This timeless romantic comedy finds senior citizens Sam and Amy, newly-married, arriving at their honeymoon retirement village only to discover the “Fountain of Youth” in their new Florida home. No one realizes that the water supply to their new apartment wing is hooked up to this fabled liquid. Amy sips some of the water, and their honeymoon turns topsy-turvy when she becomes a nineteen-year-old! Now they must survive the most incredible and comical “period of adjustment” a bride and groom have ever encountered.
Performance dates-9/20-29/2024, Auditions – 7/22-23/2024
Scrooge, The Stingiest Man in Town – Book by Janice Torre, Music by Fred Spielman
With the goose and holly of a Victorian Christmas surrounding him, miserly old Ebenezer Scrooge rejects the companionship of his fellow men and women for the sterile pleasure of gold. He is saved from this loveless life by the intercession of the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, who take him on a fantastic trip through the times of his life and show him a glimpse of the tragic future that awaits him should he not mend his ways. In the end, a transformed Scrooge realizes that "mankind should be my business" and that one little boy is of greater weight than all of the gold in his strongbox.
THIS SHOW IS POSTPONED TO NEXT SEASON
A Talent For Murder – by Jerome Chodorov and Norman Panama
This suspense drama is about an internationally successful mystery novelist whose relatives wouldn't mind killing her to get their hands on her art collection. Other characters include a live-in doctor who was once the novelist's lover and a savvy Indian butler who uses words like "chutzpa." The badinage between the novelist and the butler and between the novelist and the doctor provides comic delight and relief from the mayhem being planned by the family.
Performance dates-3/14-23/2025, Auditions-1/13-14/2025
Drinking Habits - by Tom Smith
Accusations, mistaken identities, and romances run wild in this traditional, laugh-out-loud farce. Two nuns at the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing have been secretly making wine to keep the convent's doors open, but Paul and Sally, reporters and former fiancees, are hot on their trail. They go undercover as a nun and priest, but their presence, combined with the addition of a new nun, spurs paranoia throughout the convent that spies have been sent from Rome to shut them down. Wine and secrets are inevitably spilled as everyone tries to preserve the convent and reconnect with lost loves.
Performance dates – 5/16-25/2025, Auditions-3/17-18/2025
ADDITIONAL SHOWS-- NOT PART OF THE SEASON TICKET PACKAGE
Children’s Theater Troupe presents the 13th Annual performance for schools:
THE ADVENTURES OF BAD - by Alaska Reece Vance
Everyone wants Bad to be really, really bad. Terribly bad, like all the other animals at Forest School. She is a honey badger after all. When Miss Skunk sends a note home to Mr. and Mrs. Badger that says, “I was nice today,” they promptly faint. Will crazy animal antics, a narrator on strike and a mosquito who thinks he’s king help Bad and her new too-cute-to-be-true friend save the forest from the mysterious robin robber? The whole family will laugh and cheer as Bad finds the courage to be kind in the face of peer pressure.
Performance dates ARE POSTPONED (Most times are pre-scheduled for school groups, but at least one performance will be open to the public.)
