Current Season: 2008 - 2009

Voice of the Prairie

THE VOICE OF THE PRAIRIE
by John Olive

Before talk radio, before shock jocks, before Garrison Keillor, there was country boy Davey Quinn.

Featuring:  Ashley Bell    Tom Dugan    Michael Matthys
Directed by David Rose

"A deft and witty valentine to a pioneering spirit and to the value of words that will delight all within earshot." -- LA Times

June 21 through July 27, 2008

Educating Rita

EDUCATING RITA
by Willy Russell

The modern classic comedy

He's a disillusioned, alcoholic teacher. She's a passionate, street-wise student -- and a breath of fresh air in his life. But does her journey toward a "better" life jeopardize what makes her truly special? Educating Rita is the poignant, comic masterpiece that explores what it really means to be educated. Directed by Cameron Watson, director of last year's smash hit Trying.

"A marvelous play, painfully funny and passionately serious." -- London Sunday Times

August 20 to September 21, 2008

Mary's Wedding

MARY'S WEDDING 
by Stephen Massicotte

An unforgettable love story for the ages

LOS ANGELES PREMIERE! This award-winning play follows Mary and Charlie from their unexpected meeting in a barn during a thunderstorm across the prairies of Canada and the battlefields of Europe. Hot new playwright Stephen Massicotte spins a breathtaking saga about young lovers who must surrender their fate to the uncertainties of their tumultuous times. A testament to the power of memory and hope that lingers like a remembered dream.

"Recalls the grand passion of Catherine and Heathcliff in 'Wuthering Heights,' the vastness of their love." -- Washington Times

October 22 to November 23, 2008

Candida


CANDIDA  
by George Bernard Shaw

Her husband might be in charge, but she has the power.

A love triangle -- and a woman's choice between two men who love her.  Reverend Morell thinks he and his wife, Candida, have the perfect marriage, but when a talented, young poet also declares his love for her, Morell begins to doubt whether his wife loves him after all. Written over a hundred years ago, George Bernard Shaw shows that marriage hasn't changed all that much.  A story of fidelity, honor and unspoken passion that asks how well we really know those we love. Directed by Kathleen F. Conlin from her acclaimed production at the Utah Shakespearean Festival.

"Shaw's wit and originality zero in on the human condition to the continued delight of playgoers everywhere." -- NY Times

February 4 to March 8, 2009


No Way To Treat a Lady

NO WAY TO TREAT A LADY 
by Douglas J. Cohen

A musical thriller

LOS ANGELES PREMIERE! Based on the William Goldman novel and movie of the same name, this hilarious, sexy musical gives new meaning to "knock 'em dead.” A serial killer is on the loose, and Detective Morris Brummell is on the case. Can he find the killer, get the girl, and appease his disappointed mother -- all before the next chorus?  It's a game of cat and mouse -- a tour de force with 4 actors playing 17 roles -- and a murderously fun time!

"An old-fashioned, new-fangled thoroughly beguiling musical." -- Rolling Stone

April 15 to May 17, 2009
