Arsenic & Old Lace By: Joseph Kesselring October 31-November 16, 2014

Mortimer Brewster fears that he may be going crazy. It seems to run in the family. His Uncle thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, his sweet and innocent aunts comfort lonely old men by poisoning them, and his brother is a career criminal with a Boris Karloff complex. You’d be crazy to miss this celebrated classic screwball comedy.

The Ladies Man By: Charles MoreyJanuary 30-February 15, 2015

In Paris, the recently married Dr. Hecule Molineaux tells “one, tiny, little, hardly noticeable lie” to cover an innocent but embarrassing indiscretion. From that single untruth tumbles a cascade of increasingly convoluted deceptions, misunderstandings and mistaken identities. The Ladies Man literally spins out of control and will leave you dizzy with zany joy.

Of Mice and Men By: John Steinbeck April 17-May 3, 2015

George and Lennie are two drifters who look out for each other. They dream of a day when they can have a “little place of their own,” but for the present, they are bouncing from ranch to ranch just trying to get by with trouble always just a step behind. When trouble finally catches up with them, dire circumstances demand dire actions.
