A Curious Mishap

by Carlo Goldoni - September 27-30, 2012

Our entry in this year’s Kennedy Center American College Theatre revolves around a pair of young lovers, De la Cotterie, a poor French lieutenant, and the beautiful Giannina, the daughter of a rich Dutch merchant, Philibert.  A case of mistaken identity on Philibert’s part allows the two to elope with one another, but not without some comical missteps before hand.

Table Manners

by Alan Ayckbourn - November 15-18, 2012

This is the first and considered the funniest play of Alan Ayckbourn’s trilogy, The Norman Conquests.  In this comedy, Annie, a woman facing single adulthood, is growing tired of the well-intentioned but passionless courtship of her veterinarian friend, Tom. Annie’s brother and sister-in-law, Sarah and Reg, have come to the country to house sit and take care of Reg and Annie’s invalid mom, whom we never see.  Secretly, Annie is planning to go on holiday with Norman, her sister, Ruth’s husband.  As it happens the seduction, thought or planned, by each of the six characters never takes place.

Nora

adapted by Igmar Bergman - February 21-24, 2013

The legendary film director’s version of Henrik Ibsen’s controversial play, A Doll’s House, centers on one woman’s personal struggle for identity. . . and opens a door onto a real marriage facing common problems. It is more startlingly relevant today than it was over a century ago. As a result of his creation, Ibsen found himself identified as a supporter of women’s rights.

The Drowsy Chaperone

Music and Lyrics by  Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison,
Book by  Bob Martin and Don McKellar  - April 18-21, 2013

The audience is greeted by the narrator who  is a fan of vintage musicals.  He seems to be suffering from a free-floating depression and quickly decides to cheer things up by playing a record of the original cast recording of a (fictional) Broadway musical entitled The Drowsy Chaperone.  This recent Tony Award winner is a play-within-a-play crammed full of every cliche, gag, and gimmick from the golden age of musicals.

This production is sponsored in part by the
Richard T. Brittingham Musical Theatre Endowed Lectureship.
