THE RIVALS
Written by Richard Sheridan
Directed by Gene' Fouche'
Penned in 1775, “The Rivals” was Richard Brinsley Sheridan's first play and is, next to School for Scandal, his most famous. Satirizing the trappings of marriage and wealth, this comic masterpiece bubbles over with mistaken identity, romantic entanglements, quarrels, duels, and misconstrued circumstances.  The play relates the travails of a rich captain pretending to be a poor naval officer in order to woo a lady who does not care about wealth.  Join us for the misadventures of Lydia Languish, Captain Jack Absolute, and the immortal Mrs. Malaprop, whose habit of choosing the lengthiest, and thoroughly incorrect, word made her a household name.

ALMOST, MAINE

Written by John Cariani
Directed by Ray Ficca
This whimsical romantic comedy is comprised of nine short plays that examine love and loss and the mysteries of the human heart.  On a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter, all is notquite what it seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine.  As the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, Almost's residents find themselves falling in and out of love inunexpected and often hilarious ways.  Knees are bruised; hearts are broken.  But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night's dream.
