THE (former) PROSTITUTES POTLUCK SUPPER* - A Comedy by Frankie Little Hardin
In small Georgia town, south of Atlanta, a group of exceptional women and one man meets every month for a potluck supper. They're a diverse group in age and ethnicity and current occupation but they share one thing in common: their former lives as Working Girls. Now they enjoy each other's company; they share lives, hopes and dreams when they break bread together each month. But there's a new addition to the group and her arrival is going to call into question everything about who they believe themselves to be.
*For mature audiences only. Contains strong language and sexuality.
EVENING TWO - SATURDAY, APRIL 12 at 7:30 PM
WHISPERS TO THE MOON - A Drama in Two Acts by Kris Bauske
Marcia Mayfield has returned to the same hotel on the Riviera every August for the last forty-two years. There, she meets up with the one true love of her life, Charles D'Anjou, and they spend two weeks together despite the fact that each is married to someone else. This summer, however, Marcia's adult daughter shows up unannounced, and Marcia must juggle her efforts to help Carol choose her life's path while trying to find a way to tell Charles she must finally end the affair. Can Marcia keep her secret from Carol, and is the affair the only secret Marcia's hiding? What is the dark secret only Charles knows?
EVENING THREE - FRIDAY, APRIL 18 at 7:30 PM
THE LIVING MRS. DEL VECCHIO - A Comedy in Two-Acts by Larry Ukolowicz
Three women bond on the day of a funeral to form a trial-by-jury organization created to chastise anyone who simply ruins a lovely day. Witness their very first trial complete with pizza, a lot of vodka, a spouse tied to a folding chair and dance performances of the awkwardly preposterous kind in this wacky, crazy screwball comedy destined to tickle your funny bone.
EVENING FOUR - SATURDAY, APRIL 19 at 7:30 PM
DUCK AND COVER - A full-length Comedy by Michael Kimball
It's October 1962. America's postwar innocence teeters on the brink of massive social change: civil rights, women's rights, students' rights, Vietnam, Dylan and The Beatles, the pill… But in suburban Massachusetts, the Whitebottom home remains sheltered from it all. Twelve-year-old Stevie wants a pair of sneakers. His mother Claire would like to get her drivers license. But husband Hugh, a shoe store manager, sees sneakers and women drivers as the first steps to anarchy.
