Illustrations by Hans SaefkowLeading Ladies by Ken Ludwig
Begins October 27, 2006 and continues in repertory with Powers & Gloria until December 5. Click for schedule
Two dead broke "Shakespearean actors" are reduced to touring a series of small town Moose Lodges. In one town they hear that an old woman is looking for her long lost nephews to leave her fortune to - or is it her long lost nieces? In the tradition of "Some Like It Hot", Steve and Max pretend to be Stephanie and Maxine so they can claim the unclaimed millions. And then the fun never stops. Non-stop disguises and surprises make this the funniest caper since Lend me A Tenor!
". . . will make men and women cackle till their faces hurt."

Edward Powers, the owner of the local mill, finds himself on forced sick leave. To his chagrin Gloria Delaney, a local floozy and high school dropout, is the only one willing to take the job of nursing the curmudgeonly Powers back to health. Powers is startled to realize that with Gloria, he has met his match! This odd couple becomes the most unlikely of friends when Gloria becomes Power's indispensable ally in saving the town from financial ruin.
"A delight, from start to finish."

The Love List by Norm Foster
April 11 - 29, 2007
Bill is a middle aged and romantically challenged statistician with a remarkably boring life. For his birthday his best friend Leon gives him a membership in a dating service with a special charm. They fill out the application form listing the Top 10 Qualities in an ideal mate and voila - Bill's perfect woman is at his door! But perfection starts to drive Bill nuts. Who is this woman and have they created a Frankenstein? When Bill starts to follow Leon's advice on how to correct the Top 10 List, the laughter goes right off the Richter Scale.
"The hilarity never stops."
