The Man Who Came To Dinner

George S. Kaufman & Moss Hart - Comedy

November 28, 29, December 4*, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13*, 2008

This classic and hilarious play is set in the small town of Mesalia, Ohio, in the weeks leading up to Christmas in the 1930s. Outlandish radio wit, Sheridan Whiteside of New York City, is invited to dine at the house of rich factory owner Ernest W. Stanley. Before Whiteside even enters the house, he slips on a patch of ice outside the front door and injures his hip. He is attended by Dr. Radley, the absent-minded town physician and Miss Preen, his frantic nurse. Where does it go from there? Come and see!

A Delicate Balance

Edward Albee - Drama
February 6, 7, 12, 13, 14*, 19, 20, 21*, 2009

Albee’s play is a study of love and the social contract taken to its "logical conclusion." Push comes to shove for Agnes and Tobias, suffering successive invasions of their home by Agnes’ sister (a vocal drunk), their 31 year old daughter (her fourth failed marriage), and then by their best friends Edna and Harry (fleeing the “terror” in their home). Is there a delicate balance in Agnes and Tobias' home? Perhaps...not?

Jenny's House of Joy

Norm Foster - Comedy
May 1, 2, 7, 8, 9*, 14, 15, 16*, 2009

Jenny's House of Joy, one of the latest from Hamilton area’s own Norm Foster, this theatrical offering is a four-alarm hit. Labeled a “sassy treat” by the Spec’s Gary Smith, it is funny, touching and ripe with enough comic surprises to keep you engaged to the very end. We are treated to a birds-eye view of life in a small western town. The heart of all “polite” society is laid bare as the women in Jenny's "House" reveal their clients' best wishes ...and some of their own!
