SPRING SCHEDULE

BECKY'S NEW CAR

By Steven Dietz
Directed by Zac Curtis
7:30 p.m. Feb. 28-March 3; 2 p.m. March 4; Hartung

“When a woman says she wants new shoes, what she really wants is a new job.  When she says she wants a new house, she wants a new husband.  And when she says she wants a new car, she wants a new life.”

Becky Foster is content with her husband of 28 years, her outspoken 26-year-old son and her steady job at a car dealership. But when millionaire widower Walter Flood steps into her office looking to buy a car, or several, Becky forgets to correct him when he assumes she too is newly widowed.  Balancing two relationships in a double life will test her limits in this hilariously complex comedy about finding happiness in what we have.

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM

By Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart with music by Stephen Sondheim
Directed by David Lee-Painter
7:30 p.m. April 26-28, May 3-5; 2 p.m. April 29; Hartung

“Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!”

One of Broadway’s greatest musical farces, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum takes comedy back to its roots, combining situations from time-tested, 2000-year-old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville. When Pseudolus, a wily, lazy, cheating slave, discovers his master’s son is in love with the girl next door — a courtesan — he promises to help win her heart in exchange for his freedom. Satire, puns and cases of mistaken identity abound as Pseudolus concocts a plan so outrageous the whole neighborhood ends up playing a part — whether they know it or not.
