Deathtrap
by Ira Levin Sept. 10, 11, 16, 17, 18 at 8:00pm
Sept. 11, 12, 18 at 2:00pm Directed by Susan Galli
Produced by Alana Caraccio Synopsis: Comfortably ensconced in his charming Connecticut home, Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, is struggling to overcome a dry spell which has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student in the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college—a thriller that Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway smash. Sidney’s plan, devised with his wife’s help, is to offer collaboration to the student for co-credit. Or is it? DEATHTRAP provides twists and turns of devilish cleverness, and offers hilariously sudden shocks in such abundance that audiences will be spellbound until the very last moment. |

12 Angry Jurors
Adapted by Sherman L. Sergel. Based on the Emmy award-winning television movie by Reginald Rose Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois Saturday June 19@ 1 PM and 5 PM
Sunday June 20 @ 1 PM Rain dates July 10 & July 11 Directed by Andy McPhee,
Produced by Annamarie Hughes On a hot summer day after a long trial, a jury must decide whether a 19-year old man is guilty of murdering his father. The jury votes 11-1 that the man is guilty of the crime, but laws in the United States require a unanimous vote by all 12 jurors in order to pass judgment. Tempers flare as the eleven jurors try their best to convince the 1 dissenter to come around to their side. As the evidence is re-examined, however, new uncertainties come to light, forcing everyone to truly question if there is in fact some measure of "reasonable doubt". Twelve Angry Jurors is a heightened courtroom thriller that puts the audience on the edge of your seat while powerfully exploring what it means to live in a democracy. |

The Miracle Worker by William Gibson Presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatericals.com Saturday July 31 @ 5 PM
Sunday August 1 @ 1 PM Rain Dates: August 1 at 5pm, August 7, August 8 Directed by Lorie Baldwin,
Produced by Victoria Schultheis Helen is a bright, strong, energetic child -- but left both blind and deaf in the wake of an illness as a baby, she is also a feral, frustrated mystery to her exhausted family. Her heartbroken mother Kate is Helen’s best protector, while her half-brother James wants to send Helen to an institution, and her father Arthur Keller, a former Captain in the Confederate Army, is worried for the safety of their new baby. As a last resort, the Kellers send for a governess from the prestigious Perkins Institute for the Blind, and get Annie Sullivan, a lively and stubborn Yankee girl, barely out of school herself, with the experience of childhood blindness -- now cured, after numerous operations. Driven by the demons of her traumatic past, Annie, the unlikely Miracle Worker, fights to reach Helen and bring light to the darkness of her mind. It will take all of Annie’s patience, creativity, and firmness of spirit to bring about the trans-formation of Helen, the trapped wild creature, into Helen, the brilliant and communicative child she could become. In William Gibson’s riveting prose, one of the great miracles of the 19th century has become one of the great stage plays of the 20th, as past and present, fact and mere conjecture, are woven together in a thrilling and heart-rending drama. Universal sorrows, family bonds, and the strength of the human spirit are explored in the amazing true story of two remarkable women. |
