2010 – 2011 SEASON
Let’s lighten it up!  No serious stuff!
Our 2010 – 2011 Theatre Season is all about having FUN and taking quality time to laugh at ourselves and the crazy world in which we live!  Choose from Neil Simon, Noel Coward, Yasmin Reza and Moliére! Who could ask for more!  Choose all FOUR!

Lost in Yonkers
By Neil Simon,  September 15 – 19, 2010
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Play, Lost in Yonkers is a touching story about finding one’s way through the tangled web of family relationships without losing a sense of self or sense of humor.  Set in Yonkers, NY, in 1942, the play focuses on two young brothers, Arty and Jay, left in the care of their feuding relatives, Grandma Kurnitz and Aunt Bella.  Lost in Yonkers epitomizes Neil Simon’s trademark mix of comedy and drama. The New York Post hailed Lost in Yonkers, “the best play Simon ever wrote.”

Blithe Spirit
By Noel Coward,  November 17 – 21, 2010
In this comic play, Charles and his second wife, Ruth, are haunted by the ghost of his first wife, Elvira.  To get background for a new book, author Charles and second wife Ruth light-heartedly arrange for local mystic Madame Arcati to give a séance.  Medium Madame Arcati tries to help thing out by contacting the ghost.  The unfortunate result is that Charles’ first wife Elvira returns from beyond the grave to make his life something of a misery.  Ruth too gets increasingly irritated with her supernatural rival, but Madame Arcati is at her wit’s end as to how to sort things out.

Art
Play by Yasmin Reza, Translation by Christopher Hampton, February 16 – 20, 2011
Art is a comedy that raises questions about art and friendship among three long-time friends.  Serge, indulging his penchant for modern art, buys a large, expensive completely white painting.  Serge’s friend, Marc, is horrified and their relationship suffers considerable strain as a result of their differing opinions about what constitutes “art”.  Their mutual friend, Yvan, becomes caught in the middle of the conflict and tries to please and mollify both friends.

Tartuffe
By Moliére, April 20 – 24, 2011
Moliére’s Tartuffe reveals how a religious hypocrite – an imposter – almost succeeds in his plot to jail a naïve friend and his family, thereby cheating them out of their home.  The social comedy, which lampoons false piety and hypocrites, was perennially banned.  Moliére had to use his influence with King Louis IV to get permission for the 17-Century French play to be performed in public.
