Violet, Doralee, and Judy, all beleaguered employees of Consolidated Industries and, more specifically, the President, Franklin Hart, Jr., band together to lighten their load and get the recognition they deserve in this rollicking musical about the power of sisterhood and “creative” bargaining. Musical numbers by Dolly Parton include the title song, “9 to 5,” “Backwoods Barbie,” and “Joy to the Girls.” What a great way to start the new season!

We all know about mid-life crisis: The red sports car, the younger women, the stray dog, the…. wait, what? And so begins the story of Greg and Kate, a couple at a crossroads, and the unruly stray, Sylvia, who lopes into their lives and turns everything upside down. Alternately hilarious and touching, join us for an evening of frustration, compromise, and deep affection suitable for dog lovers and just plain lovers.

A wealthy socialite’s honeymoon sail up the Nile takes a nasty turn toward murder in this classic from the pen of Agatha Christie. Invited guests and unwelcome stragglers make for a plethora of plots, sub-plots and suspects as the Nile riverboat steams its way toward ancient temples and contemporary tragedy. Will kindly Cannon Pennefather be able to unmask the killer before the boat docks? Join us for an evening of mystery.
HARVEY
by Mary Chase
MAY 30, 31, JUNE 6, 7, 8, 13 & 14
“Years ago my mother used to say to me, she’d say, ‘Elwood’ – she always called me Elwood – ‘In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.’ Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.” In 1942, Mary Chase wove that speech into one of the most charming and whimsical plays ever to grace the stage. Her goal was to make a grieving friend smile. Our goal is to do the same for you. In fact, you’re likely to laugh out loud! Join us and visit (or re-visit) Elwood and his BFF, Harvey, the 6-foot, invisible rabbit; it’s just the ticket. Get yours today!
