Lovers and Other Strangers
By Renee Taylor and Joseph Bologna
Five Comedies tied together by family

A hit on Broadway and later on film, this new retelling sees the five comedies through the eyes of a single family. It includes the popular sequence created for the film and played by Gig Young and Anne Jackson. The other stories include a planned seduction gone wrong. In another scene an older couple has been married so long that they can't remember who starts what. Then we see the younger couple again, on the eve of their wedding. He's getting cold feet and she must gently talk him down the aisle. In the last, Bea, Frank, Richie and Joan, the long-married couple who have fought for over thirty years try to save their son's marriage by confessing to their own failures.

September 11 through October 10
Murder at the Howard Johnson's
By Ron Clark and Sam Bobrick
Is a Comedy!

All is fair in love? Even murder? That's the question posed by this light and funny suspense comedy about a love triangle in a Howard Johnson Motor Inn. In the first episode, Mitchell, an obvious and commonplace dentist who sees himself as the dashing, heroic type and Arlene, a middle aged "Femme Fatale" of sorts, plan to murder her husband Paul, a blundering used car salesman. In the second episode, having discovered that Mitchell has been unfaithful, Arlene allies herself with Paul to do away with Mitchell. In the third episode, the two men, feeling foolish and betrayed themselves, join forces against Arlene. This murder attempt, like the others, fails.

October 23 through November 21

The Nutcracker's Nuts
The Holiday Comedy by Dennis Wickline
Please note: Have you seen THE NUTCRACKER'S NUTS already? See our SIX-SHOW SEASON TICKET offers below!

THE NUTCRACKER'S NUTS takes place in the Northern Lower Peninsula. Simon's Rest is a retirement community in Frankfort, Michigan. Every Christmas the residents perform their traditional, boring, and harder to produce version of A CHRISTMAS CAROL. Every Christmas, that is, except this one. Minnie Winchester, an elderly piano teacher, suggests that the residents do something new, something like THE NUTCRACKER. Everyone agrees that it would be wonderful to try something new and THE NUTCRACKER is accepted immediately. Tickets are quickly sold out. Just as rehearsals begin, however, the retirees discover one important detail, THE NUTCRACKER is a ballet, and Minnie Winchester, a rather rotund lady who always wanted to play Clara, the lead, doesn't know how to dance.
Special Holiday Group Rates for THE NUTCRACKER'S NUTS: Group of 13 or more-$3.00 off or $13 each, Group of 21 or more-$5.00 off or $11 each*

January 8 through February 6, 2010
Murderer
By Anthony Shaffer
A Mystery Thriller

An unusual and macabre beginning to this play sets The Audience's nerves twitching well before any dialogue confuses their minds! Norman apparently murders his girlfriend, Millie, and is in the process of disposing of her body when he is interrupted by a Sergeant Stenning. The ensuing hunt for the victim and the ghoulish discovery of a head burning in the stove is fiendishly climaxed by the revelation that it is only a dummy. Yet is Millie really dead or not? Norman's sickening hobby of re enacting the most bizarre murders of history overwhelms Stenning, as does the realization that Millie is a willing partner to these charades. Norman's intentions are, however, more realistic and his wife's elaborate hoax of yet another murder to cure him of his addiction not only cements his resolve but almost provides his alibi for her own demise.

February 19 through March 20

The Crazy Time
By Sam Bobrick
A Crazy Comedy

Miles Gladstone has it all: a trophy wife, a successful business and a happy daughter-until his gorgeous spouse takes off, his conniving partner cheats him out of his company and his daughter's marriage starts to crumble. Worse yet, now that he wants his ex-wife back, she has had a complete make-over and is involved with someone half her age. Is there a happy ever after? Not for this guy! This totally entertaining comedy is by the veteran playwright of Norman Is that You?, Murder at the Howard Johnson's and Remember Me.

April 16 through May 15
The Scottish Play
A World Premiere Comedy Production
By Ed Thomas

A community theatre group hires a professional director to stage a production of MACBETH. Unfortunately, there aren't enough actors to handle all of the parts, and the Director is an old-fashioned alcoholic who has seen better days. Combine that with an elderly lead actor who has always wanted to play Romeo, and a young actress who thinks she should've been Lady Macbeth to begin with, and the comedy and mayhem are nonstop.
