2020 Season
Our Town
by Thornton Wilder
A poignant and beautiful portrait of small-town life in the fictional town of Grover’s Corners, written by three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author Thornton Wilder. A beloved American Classic, first produced in 1938, the play spans the years 1901 – 1913. The simplicity of the play belies its powerful message about living in the moment and finding value in the smallest events of our daily lives. In today’s world of cellphones, social media, and YouTube, it is almost more relevant now than when it was written. You will be transported!

2021 Season
Glorious!
by Peter Quilter
This play is a sparkling comedy based on the true story of the astronomical success of the worst singer in the world. In New York in the 1940s, the performer whom everyone wanted to see live was Florence Foster Jenkins, an enthusiastic soprano whose pitch was far from perfect. Known as ‘the first lady of the sliding scale’, she warbled and screeched her way through the evening to an audience who mostly fell about with laughter. But this delusional and joyously happy woman paid little attention to her critics, comfortably surrounded by a circle of devoted friends who were almost as eccentric as she was.
Based upon a true story, the play spins from Florence’s charity recitals and extravagant balls, through to her bizarre recording sessions and ultimate triumph at Carnegie Hall in a hilarious and heart-warming comedy.

You Can’t Take It With You
by Moss Hart & George S. Kaufman
One of the most daffy and delightful comedies of all time! This is the story of the Sycamore household, presided over by Grandpa Vanderhof, a former businessman who has turned his back on commerce in order to enjoy life. If this family is slightly ‘mad’…well then, so are we all!!
