Arsenic and Old Lace (Non-Musical Comedy)

In Arsenic and Old Lace, we meet the charming and innocent ladies who populate their cellar with the remains of socially and religiously "acceptable" roomers; the antics of their brother who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt; and the activities of the other brother—well, we won’t give it away here!  The play is well-known for good reason:  it was a smash hit in New York and has continued its success world-wide!

Auditions:  Oct. 18 & 19

Rehearsals Begin:  Oct. 25

Performances:  Dec. 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11

Audition Information

Don’t Dress for Dinner (Non-Musical Farce)

This boulevard comedy was a smash hit in Paris, where it played for over two years, and in London, where critical acclaim greeted the Apollo Theatre production. Bernard is planning a weekend with his mistress in a French farmhouse. He has arranged for a cordon bleu cook to prepare gourmet delights, is packing his wife Jacqueline off to her mother's, and has even invited his best friend to provide the alibi. It's foolproof; what could possibly go wrong? Suppose Robert turns up not knowing why he has been invited? Suppose Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers? What happens if the cook is mistaken for the mistress and the mistress is unable to cook? An evening of hilarious confusion ensues as Bernard and Robert improvise at breakneck speed.

Auditions:  Dec. 6 & 7

Rehearsals Begin:  Dec. 13 (although there will be no rehearsals last two weeks of December)

Performances:  Feb. 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12

Singin’ in the Rain (Musical Romantic Comedy)

You remember the plot. You love the characters. You know "the song." It's no less than the stage adaptation of one of the most celebrated and beloved films of all time.  1920s Hollywood is the setting for this zany, light-hearted romantic comedy about the early days of sound film, when many a movie studio found itself scrambling to salvage the career of its chipmunk-voiced silent picture star.

Auditions:  Feb. 7 & 8

Rehearsals Begin:  Feb. 15

Performances:  April 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17, 22, 23
