2008 Summer Season

July 3-13 - Perfect Wedding - A Sex Farce


Directed by Brian McDonald

A groom seing his bride the day they are married is condidered bad luck. Waking up beside a girl he doesn't know after a night he can't remember is bad timing. What's worse is that his bride is due to arrive any minute, and with the help of his best man, a chambermaid, and a fractured memory, things go from bedroom to bedlam.

August 7-17 - Over The River and Through The Woods - A Comedy


Directed by R. Keith Smith

Nick is a single, Italian-American guy from New Jersey. His parents retired and moved to Florida. That doesn't mean his family isn't still in Jersey. In fact, he sees both sets of his grandparents every Sunday for dinner. This is routine until he has to tell them that he's been offered a dream job. The job he's been waiting for -marketing executive- would take him away from his beloved, but annoying, grandparents. He tells them. The news doesn't sit so well. Thus begins a series of schemes to keep Nick around. How could he betray his family's love to move to Seattle, for a job, wonder his grandparents? Well, Frank, Aida, Nunzio and Emma do their level best, and that includes bringing to dinner the lovely and single Caitlin O'Hare as bait. We won't give the ending away here!
