Playing:
The
Kitchen Witches
by Caroline Smith
July
28 – August 20
2pm Sunday matinees on Sundays August 7 and 14
Isobel Lomax and Dolly Biddle are two "mature" cable-access
cooking show hostesses who have hated each other for
30 years, ever since Stephen Biddle dated one and married
the other. When circumstances put them together on
a TV show called “The Kitchen Witches,” the
insults are flung harder than the food! Dolly's long-suffering
TV-producer son Stephen tries to keep them on track,
but as long as Dolly's dressing room is one inch closer
to the set than Isobel's, it's a losing battle, and
the show becomes a rating smash as Dolly and Isobel
top both Martha Stewart and Jerry Springer!

Charley’s
Aunt
by Brandon Thomas
November
18 – December 11
2pm matinees on Sundays, November 28 and December 5
Jack loves Kitty and Charley loves Amy. They invite the ladies to meet Charley's
wealthy aunt from Brazil, "where the nuts come from." Cancelling
her visit at the last minute, the millionaire aunt sends the boys into cataclysmic
confusion. What do they do now? The problem is solved by drafting their feckless
Oxford undergrad pal, Bancourt Babberley, into a black satin skirt, bloomers
and wig. As "Charley's Aunt", this charming frump is introduced to
the ladies, to Jack's father and to Stephen Spettigue, Amy's guardian. When
the real aunt turns up, classic comic confusion ensues as Babberley, posing
as "Charley's Aunt," tricks Spettigue into agreeing to the marriage
of his ward, the real aunt marries Jack's father, Jack gets Kitty and Babberley
regains the fortune he lost at gambling as well as the girl he loves. Great
fun for the entire family!

classic play exposes, with biting hilarity, the corruption of a provincial
town.
