Arsenic and Old Lace
Feb. 24 thru Mar. 18
Mortimer Brewster hates his job, but otherwise life is perfect—he’s got a smart, beautiful
fiancée and two doting aunts. The only catch? These two sweet spinsters have a secret mission and a
recipe for elderberry wine that really packs a punch. As Mortimer tries to navigate his family’s
eccentricities while keeping his fiancée none the wiser, his sociopathic brother shows up with a
taste for vengeance and a sidekick named Einstein. Will Mortimer make it to his wedding day, or
fall victim to the family insanity first?

Educating Rita
May 18 thru June 3
Susan (who initially calls herself Rita), dissatisfied with the routine of her work and social
life, seeks inner growth by signing up for and attending an Open University course in English
Literature. Dr Frank Bryant is a middle-aged, alcoholic career academic who has taken on the
tutorship to pay for his drink. The two have an immediate and profound effect on one another; Frank
is impressed by Susan's verve and earnestness and is forced to re-examine his attitudes and
position in life; Susan finds Frank's tutelage opens doors to a bohemian lifestyle and a new
self-confidence.

Baby
June 15 thru June 30
"Baby" tells the story of three couples on a university campus as they deal with the painful,
rewarding and agonizingly funny consequences of this universal experience. There are the college
students, barely at the beginning of their adult lives; the thirty-somethings, having trouble
conceiving but determined to try; and the middle aged parents, looking forward to seeing their last
child graduate from college when a night of unexpected passion lands them back where they
started.

Footloose
July 13 thru Aug. 19
Chicago. A group of young people have gathered at their favorite dance club to unwind and say
goodbye to Ren McCormack. Ren's father has walked out, so he and his mother are forced to move in
with her sister's family in a small town nobody has ever heard of - Beaumont.
Ren soon finds himself at odds with the repressive atmosphere in Beaumont, where the spiritual life
of the community is overseen by the power local minister Reverend Moore. Ren is stunned to learn
that dancing is not allowed anywhere within the town limits of Beaumont.

Merrily We Roll Along
Sept. 8 thru Sept 30
MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG begins in the present and moves backwards, tracing the lives of wealthy,
jaded composer Franklin Shepard and his two estranged friends through each milestone of their
personal and professional lives (good and bad). The show ends with a touch of rueful irony, as the
three best friends at the start of their careers face a bright future: young, talented and
enthusiastic about the worlds waiting to be conquered.

Death of a Salesman
Oct. 12 thru Nov. 4
Winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Play, Death of A Salesman is a
work of tremendous emotional impact and an unflinching examination of the American dream that is as
relevant today as the day it was written. After a lifetime as a traveling salesman, Willy Loman
finds himself at the end of his career and at the end of his rope. As dreams of the past collide
with visions of what might have been, Willy’s wife and sons wage a desperate struggle to engage him
in the present. Arthur Miller’s masterpiece is one of the greatest achievements of the 20th
century.
