This Broadway comic hit
starred Katharine Hepburn as the privileged daughter of
the "Philadelphia Lords." She’s engaged to a successful
young snob. Gossip and society columnists do them in;
but she makes a new life of great spirit and promise. A
delightfully elegant play.
Pridemore Playhouse
The adventure play for
children out of the dark shadows and creepy silences of
the swamps and woods. Imaginative in the telling, the
fears of childhood are "slain," one-by-one. Written by a
researcher working for the Federal Theatre Project, with
guitars and banjos strumming!

The Spoon River
Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters is a dramatization of the
20th century masterpiece about life (and death) in a
fictitious, small town in rural America. A series of
"epitaphs" spoken from beyond the grave by the denizens
of the town it is a stirring presentation accompanied by
beautiful heartland music. The Spoon River Anthology
will be performed by the Porterfield Ensemble Thursday,
January 24th and Saturday, January 26th, both at 8 pm.

The Oldest Story Ever
Told is a wacky look at the familiar Cinderella story as
it appears in various cultures. Brimming with silliness
this play contains talking "fairy god frogs", a flying
cow, puppetry and fancy entertaining for all ages. The
Oldest Story Ever Told will be performed by the
Porterfield Ensemble Friday, January 25th at 8 pm and at
2pm on Saturday, January 26th.
The
Studio
One of the most popular
of the plays of the late 90’s; this play is a "wry
confection of entertainment and modern fable." As the
title suggests…the goddess of fame lures the artist, and
may be a "siren’s song." Mature themes and language.
The
Studio
In conjunction with
Dorothy Mercer's Gallery 205 exhibition of how artists
throughout history have presented this famous heroine
Ted McKosky and guests will discuss what some feel is
the finest silent if not finest film ever made.
"an historical document from an era in which the cinema
didn't exist" - Jean Cocteau

Eugene O’Neill is often
called our "one great American playwright." The time of
the play is 1828 and the setting a tavern owned by the
tempestuous Irishman, Con Melody. The play is about
putting the past to death, and putting pretensions to
death. The dysfunctional family of O’Neill longs for
love and dignity in a cruel American world.
