Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And then Some!)
Christmas has been extended by popular demand!
written by Michael Carleton, James FitzGerald and John K. Alvarez
November 5 – January 10, 2010
Three quick-witted actors put the audience to the test as they portray as many holiday traditions and stories as they can remember. Say BAH! to traditional Tiny Tim (there’s always next year) and HA! to a show that takes Christmas traditions to the extreme. The Grinch, Frosty, Linus, Rudolph, Marley and more...in only 90 minutes! If you liked The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), you’ll love this madcap romp through our beloved holiday season classics. It’s fun for the whole family!

The Lady with all the Answers
written by David Rambo
January 28 - February 28, 2010
“Dear Ann Landers....” For decades, advice columnist Ann Landers answered countless letters from lovelorn teens, confused couples and a multitude of others in need of advice. No topic was off limits. On a late night in 1975, in her Chicago apartment, an ironic twist of events confronts Landers with a looming deadline for a column dealing with a new kind of heartbreak - her own. As she shares her struggles to complete the column, we learn much about the wise, funny and no-nonsense woman whose daily dialogue helped shape the social landscape of the last half-century. A Michigan premiere.

Take three delicious, malicious wives, add three miserable, unloving husbands, and chill. Nicky, Debra and Molly have tolerated one another during once-a-month dinners for years. While their unseen spouses play golf in the dining room, the women exchange confidences for the first time, revealing that all three marriages are on the brink of disaster. When the men mistakenly lock themselves in a basement meat locker, the women are faced with a life-or-death decision; should they leave the men out in the cold - permanently - or let them thaw? A co-production with Williamston Theatre.
