All of E. B. White's enchanting characters are here: Wilbur, the irresistible young pig who desperately wants to avoid the butcher; Fern, a girl who understands what animals say to each other; Templeton, the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed; the Zuckerman family; the Arables; and, most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, who proves to be "a true friend and a good writer."

Imagine ten people that don't know each other, invited by a host they don't know, for weekend in the country at an unknown estate...stranded by a storm, and, one by one, within 24 hours... each of them is to be murdered! Sounds like a “whodunit...and it is... in a musical format! Miss Maple is surrounded by a myriad of crazy and zany characters in this spoofy send up of very well known Dame Christie mysteries. The cast of characters sing and dance their way to death...as merrily as lemmings to the sea! And by the time morning comes everyone has reason to believe...Something's Afoot! This is a sure-fire, don't-miss, evening of mystery, music and mayhem! |

Take an overwrought Englishman who needs a vacation from the world of worry he finds himself in. Throw in a French soldier who knows the perfect place to hide---in the back hills of the South at old Betty's cabin in the woods, smack dab in the middle of red neck America--- and you have a recipe for hilarity! Charlie pretends he can't speak English to insure his peace and tranquility, and then proceeds to be treated like a family pet! And, oh, the secrets he learns! This is an all-time audience favorite, by playwright Larry Shue, author of The Nerd. |

Christopher Robin has decided to run away with his friends Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, and the rest. Probably they'll go to the North Pole OR to the South Pole, for there is a dark, mysterious threat that he's to be sent away to EDUCATION. Nobody knows exactly what or where that is, and if he is sent to such a distant place, how can his friends possibly do without him? So it's generally agreed that they'll run away. As the situation becomes clearer, Christopher Robin isn't quite so sure that running away is the answer. |

Fri & Sat: 7:30 pm & Sun: 3:00 pm
An aging actress with a house on the moors engages a seemingly settled woman as a companion housekeeper, both to take care of her and to listen to her stories about her life in the theatre. But then the sisters arrive...odd and quarrelsome...then the even stranger nephew...and then a girl friend. The actress tells the lot they must leave and not come back. That’s when disturbing desires and murderous thoughts creep across the moors. This play, set in the 1880s, is sure to be an edge-of-the-seat thriller with all the twists and turns of a crooked road upon those moors where the remote house sits...waiting. |
