Opening April 17th
Play On!
By Rick Abbot
Directed by Louis Emery
A theatre group is trying desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interference from the haughty authoress who keeps revising the script. Act I is a rehearsal of the dreadful show; Act II is a near-disastrous dress rehearsal and Act III is the actual performance. You can be sure that whatever can go wrong, will and that there will be a madcap surprise near the end.
Performance dates: April 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 26,
April 30, May 1 & 2, 2009
Admission: $12 adult; $6 student

Carousel
Directed by Hal Friedman April 18 – May 9
This classic musical takes place in a Maine coastal village toward the end ofthe 19th century, the swaggering, carefree carnival barker, Billy Bigelow,captivates and marries the naive mill worker, Julie Jordan. Billy loses his job just as he learns that Julie is pregnant and, desperately intent upon providing a decent life for his family, he is coerced into being and accomplice to a robbery.
Caught in the act and facing the certainty of prison, he takes his own life but Billy is allowed to return to earth for one day, while fifteen years have passed, he now encounters the teenage daughter he never knew. She is a lonelyfriendless child. Billy must repair in both the child and her mother a sense of hope and dignity in a dramatic testimony to the power of love. It’s easy to understand why, of all the shows they created, this was Rodgers and Hammerstein’s personal favorite.

Mr. Brink (Angel of Death) – Late 30s to mid 50s. Mr. Brink is smooth, unswerving, very businesslike and mostly even-tempered. Rarely gets rankled.
Marcia Giles (housekeeper) – Late teens to early 20s. “Marcie” is sweet as the day is long, and manages to keep Gramps and Pud in check.
Demetria Riffle (Evil Aunt) – Mid-30s to late 40s. Demetria is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, plotting to adopt Pud only to get to his inheritance.
Pud (grandson): 7-12 year old young boy (could possibly be a girl). Actor/actress MUST be able to memorize a good-sized line load, for Pud is onstage in 35 pages of the 67-page script.
