OUR 2009-2010 SEASON

by Samuel Taylor Directed by Greg Matzker September 11-13, 17-20 Auditions July 21 , 7 men & 7 women	Set on Long Island in the 1950s, Sabrina Fairchild, the daughter of the Larrabee family chauffeur, is bright, well-educated, and has just returned from five years in Paris, She has come home to find out if she is still in love with the younger Larrabee son, David. The elder son, Linus, detects Sabrina's feeling for his brother, and for his own amusement lays a trap to bring them together.
by John Chapman Directed by John Austermann November 6-7, 12-15 Auditions September 15 for 3 men & 5 women	The marriage of Rupert and Sarah is on the rocks and their friends Charles and Madge, both of whom are lawyers, agree to handle the divorce. Then "Rupert" forgets his lines and threatens to kill "Charles" in full view of the audience because he's been having an affair off stage, with "Rupert's" real wife, "Madge". The "play within a play" struggles to stay on plot as the real lives of the actors play out.
by Alan Ayckbourne Directed by Karen Wood January 8-10, 14-17 Auditions November 10, for 3 men & 3 women	Meet three couples in their three kitchens on the Christmas Eves of three successive years. The "lower class" but very much up and coming Hopcrofts are in their bright new, gadget filled kitchen anxiously giving a little party for their bank manager and his wife and an architect neighbor. Next there are the architect and his wife in their neglected, untidy flat. Then the bank manager and his wife are in their large, slightly modernized, old Victorian style kitchen.
by Craig Alpaugh Directed by Jill Kranzberg March 5-7, 11-14 Auditions January 12, for 5 men & 2 women	Two burglars, Ronald and Donald, break into a house and, in the midst of their bungled getaway, find themselves in attendance at a neighborhood crime watch meeting. Complications follow when homeowner Lisa and her vigilante/spinster neighbor Mona greet the other arriving guests: Myron, a neurotic psychiatrist; Father Bob, the local parish priest; and Officer Buddy, an off-duty policeman. This fast-paced play has all the ingredients of classic farce.
by Agatha Christie Directed by Debbie Love April 30, May 1-2, 6-8 Auditions March 9 for 8 men & 5 women	Only Agatha Christie could have conceived such a suspenseful thriller and then capped it with an uncanny triple flip ending. A young married man spends many evenings with a rich old woman. When she is found murdered, the naive young man is the chief suspect. The testimony of his wife is expected to result in an acquittal, but she is a shrew who damages his case and all but hangs him before a vindictive mystery woman appears with letters against the wife.
