Familiar to most audiences, this classic drama documents the experiences of Anne Frank and the seven others in “hiding” during the early years of Hitler’s reign.  The play opens with a flashback of the families settling into the small annex that becomes their home for over 2 years.  The audience is brought into their world, experiencing their hopes and fears, trials and tribulations as Anne records these vulnerable years in her diary.  We are proud to bring you this production in conjunction with the teaching of the Holocaust at Clyde Boyd Middle School.

Love Letters, a Pulitzer Prize nominated play by A. R. Gurney, centers on just two characters, Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepiece Ladd III.  The audience learns about their life-long relationship through letters they have written to one another documenting their separate lives. With a minimal set, and dramatic "reader's theater" flair, the two characters sit side by side at tables and read the correspondence - in which they discuss their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats. It is only in the ending that they realize they were really love letters all along.  This production contains mature themes and language and is recommended for adult audiences.

Blithe Spirit is a comic play written by Noël Coward which takes its title from Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem "To a Skylark" ("Hail to thee, blithe Spirit! / Bird thou never wert"). The play concerns socialite and novelist Charles Condomine, who invites the eccentric medium and clairvoyant, Madame Arcati to his house to conduct a séance, hoping to gather material for his next book. The scheme backfires when he is haunted by the ghost of his annoying and temperamental first wife, Elvira, following the séance. Elvira makes continual attempts to disrupt Charles's marriage to his second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear the ghost.
