2009 season

 

The heart warming story is as familiar as you remember.  Mary Lennox, a spoiled young orphan, is sent to live with her uncle.  Discovering a hidden, neglected garden, Mary plants the seeds of new life for all those drawn into her secret refuge.  This wonderful tale of transformation is absolutely charming, inspiring and has a magical quality which will appeal to both younger and older audiences.  Come discover the children’s growth and blossoming as they open the secret door to happiness.

Cow. Slob. Pig.  How many insults should one man have to hear about the love of his life?  Tom loves Helen, a sexy, young and intelligent woman who happens to be plus sized.  Her weight doesn’t matter to him.  Or does it?  Watch as his shallow and shockingly funny friends convince Tom that there are better fish in the sea.

Playhouse’s favorite playwright, Ray Cooney (Run For Your Wife, Whose Wife Is It Anyway and It Runs In The Family) is back with non-stop laughter.  When Henry Perkins picks up the wrong briefcase on the train and discovers it full of cash, it’s like a dream come true – until a policeman reports that Henry’s own briefcase has been found attached to a corpse in the river.  A nonstop, delirious, demented farce.

Through a quirk of fate a young man’s life is saved by a person whose family, out of desperation, moves and doesn’t tell him!  Audiences almost never stop laughing as the title character outstays his welcome everywhere but the theatre.  This delightful comedy is a romp for all ages.

Julie thinks it’s time for Mama to start dating again.  Who will win her affections?  Her dim-witted 1st husband who is now a millionaire?  Maybe, the bumbling mail man who is more adept at breaking furniture than hearts?  Could it be her last husband who is now lonely after his adulterous secretary left him for a younger man?  Join us for this hilarious romp and see if Julie is successful at Getting Mama Married.

In this wonderful true story Mitch reconnects with the aging Morrie.  A single meeting evolves into a weekly pilgrimage that overcomes a generational gap to become a last class in the meaning of life.  A few tears, a lot of laughs, and a truly touching story make this show a must-see!

Lily tries to cure her loneliness by hiring Michael, a sarcastic dance instructor.  What begins as an antagonistic relationship between a young man and a widow blossoms into an intimate friendship as these two people from very different backgrounds reveal their secrets, fears, and joys while dancing.  This riotous comedy dances across the stage and your heart.
