The dear young things must not be compromised no, never! but neither will the youths give up the opportunity of declaring their love. The problem is solved by forcing another Oxford undergraduate into a black satin skirt, an old fashioned cap and wig. As Charley's Aunt, this old frump is introduced to the sweethearts.

This classic love story of Maria and Captain Georg von Trapp is set in Austria against the backdrop of the Nazi takeover in 1938. Maria comes to the von Trapp household to serve as nanny to the Captain's seven children. She completely wins over the children's affection by entertaining them with such classic songs as, "My Favorite Things," "Do, Re, Me" and of course, "Climb Every Mountain." A family favorite!

How the Other Half Loves
by Alan Ayckbourn
Show Dates Sept. 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20, 21
There are three couples in this play, the men all working for the same firm. One of the younger men is having an affair with the wife of the oldest, and when each returns home suspiciously late one night or early one morning they invent a story about having to spend some time smoothing domestic matters in the home of the third couple. Both living rooms are shown in the single set, and both share a common dining room which takes on a character of its own as it serves two dinners simultaneously on two different nights. Of course, the third couple have to show up to put the fat in the fire, but that complication only adds to the fun of this famous farce.

Laughing Stock
by Charles Morey
Show Dates October 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 26, 30, 31, November 1, 2
When "The Playhouse," a rustic New England theatre, schedules a repertory season of Dracula, Hamlet and Charley's Aunt, comic mayhem ensues. We follow the well-intentioned but over-matched company from outrageous auditions to ego-driven rehearsals through opening nights gone disastrously awry to the elation of a great play well told and the comic and nostalgic season close.
