Our Town
by
Thornton Wilder |
|
Directed by Sharee Lemos
|
|
September 7-22, 2007
Fridays & Saturdays at 8pm • Sundays at 2pm

|
Juxtaposed against the broader background of time, social history,
and the universality of normal events, we are engaged in the lives of two
families as they journey though the stages of daily life, love and marriage
and death, and become as familiar to us as our own. They will make you laugh,
touch you with their humanity, and move you to realize that these are the important
things that make life what it is and has always been. When asked what Our Town
was about, Mr. Wilder replied: “The play is an attempt to find a value above all
price for the smallest events in our daily life.” |

As the play begins, an exhausted and dying Victor Frankenstein
has finally tracked down his Creature in the lonely, frozen tundra of the North
Pole. Determined to right the wrong he has committed by, at last, destroying the
malignant evil he believes he has created, Frankenstein finds that he must first
deal with his own responsibility and guilt – for, as their fascinating
confrontation develops, it is evident that the Creature has become a pathetic,
lonely and even sensitive being who wants only to find love and that he,
Frankenstein, by intruding into the very secrets of life, is truly the evil one.
As the two debate, scenes from the past flash by: Frankenstein's young bride,
whom the Monster killed out of pique when the scientist failed to provide him
with a mate of his own; the brilliant, quick-witted Professor Krempe,
Frankenstein's university mentor; and moments between the youthful Victor and
his brother, who also fell victim to the Creature's vengeance. Ultimately the
exchange between Frankenstein and the Creature becomes a confrontation between
parent and child, scientist and experiment, rejection and love, and even good
and evil – culminating in the Creature's agonizing question, "Why did you make
me?" |

David Tuttle is
moonlighting as a department store Santa so that he can buy his wife a fur for
Christmas. He tells her he's working late at the office, but she finds out he
isn't at the office. A suspected other woman, hypnotism, the notorious Santa
burglar Kris Kreigle and his gun toting fiancée, and a confused policeman add up
to a rollicking tale that is hilarious Christmas or anytime entertainment. |

Amidst the idealism
and violence of Freedom Summer in 1964 Mississippi, three college students
vanish, seemingly without a trace. As the parents of Honey, Linda, and Wes cope
with their loss, they become inescapably linked
–
the heirs of their lost
children’s dreams. Throughout the next three decades, the connections among
these people with very disparate backgrounds are tested against the fire of the
country’s social and political turbulence. The structure of the play mixes
naturalism with a surprising time curve that evokes the whirl of events
surrounding the parents’ interwoven journeys. |

The creative team responsible for a recent
Broadway flop (during which three chorus girls were murdered by the mysterious
"Stage Door Slasher") assemble for a backer's audition of their new show at the
Westchester estate of a wealthy "angel." As the composer, lyricist, actors and
director prepare their performance, and a blizzard cuts off any possible
retreat, the infamous "Slasher" makes his reappearance and strikes again – and
again - and bodies start to drop in plain sight, knives spring out of nowhere,
and accusing fingers point in all directions. However the mystery is solved in
the nick of time and the "Slasher" unmasked - but not before the audience has
been treated to a sidesplitting good time and a generous serving of the author's
biting, satiric and refreshingly irreverent wit. |

Hilarity abounds in this portrait of three
couples successively occupying a suite at the Plaza. A suburban couple take the
suite while their house is being painted and it turns out to be the one in which
they honeymooned 23 (or was it 24?) years before and was yesterday the
anniversary, or is it today? This wry tale of marriage in tatters is followed by
the exploits of a Hollywood producer who, after three marriages, is looking for
fresh fields. He calls a childhood sweetheart, now a suburban housewife, for a
little romantic diversion. Over the years she has idolized him from afar and is
now more than the match he bargained for. The last couple is a mother and father
fighting about the best way to get their daughter out of the bathroom and down
to the ballroom where guests await her or as mamma yells, "I want you to come
out of that bathroom and get married!" |
