Rabbit Hole

by David Lindsay-Abaire

Audition Dates: May 10 & 11, 2010 @ 7 pm
 
Dates: July *15, 16, 17, 18,*22, 23, 24, 25, 2010
*Indicates Dessert only performances

Winner of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize, Rabbit Hole is a touching drama infused with wit and humor.  It chronicles the life of Becca and Howie Corbett who has everything a family could want, until a life-shattering accident turns their world upside down and leaves the couple drifting perilously apart. Rabbit Hole charts their bittersweet search for comfort in their darkest hours and for a path that will lead them back into the light of day. 

"David Lindsay-Abaire has crafted a drama that's not just a departure but a revelation—an intensely emotional examination of grief, laced with wit, insightfulness, compassion and searing honesty." —Variety.

"Grade: A! A transcendent and deeply affecting new play, which shifts perfectly from hilarity to grief." —Entertainment Weekly.

The Odd Couple

by Neil Simon

Audition Dates: July 19 & 20, 2010 @ 7pm
Dates: Sept. 16,17,18,19,23,24,25,26,30 Oct. 1,2,3,7,8,9,10,14,15,16 2010

This classic comedy opens as a group of guys assemble for cards in the apartment of divorced Oscar Madison. And if the mess is any indication, it's no wonder that his wife left him. Late to arrive is Felix Unger who has just been separated from his wife. Fastidious, depressed and none too tense, Felix seems suicidal, but as the action unfolds Oscar becomes the one with murder on his mind when the clean-freak and the slob ultimately decide to room together with hilarious results as The Odd Couple is born. 

25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Music & Lyrics by William Finn, Book by Rachel Sheinkin

Audition Dates: October 4 & 5, 2010 @ 7 pm
Dates: Dec. 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 29, 30, 31, 2010  Jan. 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 2011

This is the hilarious tale of overachievers' angst chronicling the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The show's Tony Award winning creative team has created the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time.

And Then There Were None

by Agatha Christie

Audition Dates: December 6 & 7, 2010 @ 7 pm
Dates: Feb. 17, 18, 19, 20, 24, 25, 26, 27;  March 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 2011

Eight guests who have never met each other or their apparently absent host and hostess, are lured to the island and, along with the two house servants, marooned.  A mysterious voice accuses each of having gotten away with murder and then one drops dead---poisoned. One down and nine to go! In this superlative mystery comedy, statuettes of little soldier boys on the mantel fall to the floor and break one by one as those in the house succumb to the diabolical avenger. A nursery rhyme tells how each of the ten "soldiers" will meet his death until there are none. The excitement never lets up in this classic tale from the Queen of mystery.

The Foreigner

By Larry Shue


Audition Dates: February 21 & 22, 2011 @ 7pm
Dates: April 28, 29, 30; May 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20, 21, 22, 26, 27, 28, 2011

Froggy LeSeuer is once again visiting a fishing lodge in rural Georgia.  This time he has brought along a friend, a pathologically shy young man named Charlie who is overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers.  So Froggy, before diappearing, tells all assembled that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English.  Once alone the fun really begins as Charlie overhears more than he should--which fuels the nonstop hilarity of the play and sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously awry for the "bad guys" and the "good guys" emerge triumphant.
