Summary:
THE ADDAMS FAMILY, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and a dilemma that’s every father’s nightmare: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family—a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before—keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

This Is My Christmas, Music by Steve Thomas, Lyrics by Norm Foster
Summary:
Santa Claus tries to fulfill a child’s special Christmas wish while his staff attempts to overcome a supply shortage at the North Pole. This is a laugh-filled holiday play innocent enough for the youngest boy or girl, and entertaining enough for adults.
Guys in A Garage
January 27-30 @ 7:30pm, January 31 @ 2pm
By Rob Bundy
Summary:
Garage (aka. Man Cave; The Shop): a small shed or workshop in the backyard; used to store old tools and broken things; held together with male bonding.
The play follows the regular Saturday afternoon get-together of six male friends who bond, tell tall tales, reminisce and (try to) organize and make sense of their lives.
Proof
April 7-10 @ 7:30pm, April 11 @ 2pm
By David Auburn
Summary:
Catherine has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, Robert. When he dies she has more than grief to deal with: There’s her estranged sister, Claire, and Hal, a former student of her father’s who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that Robert left behind. And a further problem: How much of her father’s madness – or genius – will Catherine inherit?
In the Pulitzer and Tony-winning Proof, David Auburn has fashioned an exhilarating and assured play – a subtle and gripping exploration of loss, guilt, discovery, instability and the elusive nature of truth.
