Announcing The 2003 - 04 Season

Dearly Departed

By David Botrell and Jesse Jones

Comedy

4M 6W with doubling

 

In the Baptist backwoods of the Bible belt, the beleaguered Turpin family proves that living and dying in the South are seldom tidy and often hilarious. Despite their earnest efforts to pull themselves together for their father’s funeral, the Turpin’s other problems keep overshadowing the solemn occasion... Amidst the chaos, the Turpins turn for comfort to their friends and neighbors, an eccentric community of misfits who just manage to pull together and help each other through their hours of need, and family, and funeral.

 

Lies & Legends:

The Musical Stories of Harry Chapin

MUSICAL  3M 2W  Flexible Casting

Music by Harry Chapin

Musical Arrangements by

Stephen Chapin and Tom Chapin

Original Creative Consultant:

Sandy C. Chapin

Original Concept by Joseph Stern

 

More than any other popular songwriter in recent memory, Harry Chapin was a storyteller. He celebrated the extraordinary lives of ordinary folk, and whether through comedy or pathos, reminded us of a shared emotional heritage. Here, the most inherently theatrical of Chapin's narrative pieces have been assembled, allowing the stories within them to dictate their own dramatic shape.

The Night of January 16th

by Ayn Rand

Drama

11M 8W  Flexible Casting

 

A murder trial. Karen Andre is accused of killing wealthy business tycoon Bjorn Faulkner, with whom she had an affair. This is the premise for Rand's Night of January 16th, a play that tests each character's sense of morality and

altruistic duty. As each witness brings more evidence out into the open, the truth becomes increasingly elusive. Also, the audience soon begins to realize that many, if not all, of the witnesses are telling lies.   After all the swirling deceit and intrigue the trial exposes, it seems that no character can truly be seen as virtuous or free from self-satisfying motives.

Stop Kiss

 by Diana Son

 Comedy/Drama

 3M 3W

 

A poignant and funny play about the ways, both sudden and slow, that lives can change irrevocably. After Callie meets Sara, the two unexpectedly fall in love. Their first kiss provokes a violent attack that transforms their lives in a way they could never anticipate.

 


Production Dates: TBD

Thanks to the Play Reading Committee and all the participants in this year's presentations.
