Show closed
     
Synopsis:  Hay Fever is a comic play written by Noël Coward in 1924 and first produced in 1925 with Marie  Tempest as the first Judith Bliss. Laura Hope Crews played the role in New York. Best described as a cross between high farce and a comedy of manners, the play is set in an English country house in the 1920s, and deals with the four eccentric members of the Bliss family and their outlandish behavior when they each invite a guest to spend the weekend. The self-centered behavior of the hosts finally drives their guests to flee while the Bliss's are so engaged in a family row that they do not notice their guests' furtive departure.

Synopsis:  Written by William Saroyan.   The play is set in Nick's Pacific Street Saloon, Restaurant and Entertainment Palace, a run down dive    bar in San Francisco. Much  of the action of the play centers around Joe, a young loafer with money who encourages each of the bar's patrons in their  eccentricities. Joe helps out a would-be dancer, Harry, and sets up his flunky, Tom, with a prostitute, Kitty Duval. The bar is frequented by a number of colorful characters, including a  frenetic young man in love, an old man who looks like Kit Carson, and an affluent society couple.

You're A Good Man Charlie Brown, (Revised Version)
           July  (Sat) 24th & (Sun) 25th, July (Fri) 30th & (Sat) 31st.

                Synopsis:  
The show is the updated version from the 1999 Broadway revival. Based on the 'Peanuts' comic strip by Charles M. Schultz, the show is best described as an average day in the life of Charlie Brown. It is a day made up of little moments picked from all the days of Charlie Brown, from Valentine's Day to the baseball season, from wild optimism to utter despair, all mixed in with the lives of his friends (both human and non-human) and strung together on the string of a single day, from bright uncertain morning to hopeful starlit evening. The show contains fantastic songs and a whole lot of laughs and will be loved by anyone from 5 to 105!
