New! Special Saturday Matinee at 4:00 on the last weekend of each show

 

“Play It Again, Sam” is a comedy about a shy, nerdy bachelor who is a Humphrey Bogart fan. The spirit of Bogey visits him to help him make his way through the world of dating.

 “The O’Conner Girls” is a heart warming, wonderfully old fashioned play about families and love during the holiday season.

 “As Bees In Honey Drown” is a clever witty play with twists and turns - a satiric look at the world of celebrity that has you guessing and laughing at the same time.

 “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” is a hilarious musical that deals with everything you have ever secretly thought about dating, romance, marriage, in-laws, husbands and wives.

2006-2007 Season

 

 

Blithe Spirit

A comedy by Noel Coward

September 8 to October 7, 2006

 

Directed by Brian Salmon

Produced by Tim Deaton

 

What is the harm in hiring a psychic as research for your novel? After all, they’re all fakes – aren’t they? Come sit-in at our séance, but we warn you – you will be rendered helpless with laughter.  The classiest of classics, Blithe Spirit is a delicious meringue of wit, banter, repartee, wry humor and drollery concocted by the incomparable Noel Coward. Cocktails at eight.

“One of Noel Coward's finest comedies.  A witty and urbane comedy.” New York Times

Rated G

Inspecting Carol

A farce by Daniel Sullivan & Seattle Repertory Theatre
 November 10 to December 9, 2006

 

Directed by Gil Savage

Produced by Barbara Barber

Inspecting Carol

A little theatre prepares for its holiday show. There is inadequate time to rehearse, insufficient funds, and they may lose their NEA grant. A wannabe actor is mistaken for the NEA inspector and is cast as Tiny Tim. And that’s just the start of the troubles! Take a backstage seat as the worst production of A Christmas Carol ever staged unhinges before your eyes. Laughs pile upon laughs in this holiday feast suitable for the whole family.

"I laughed ‘till I cried.... Sheer comic genius." Journal American.

"A razzle dazzle of funny characters and ingenious jokes." Seattle Post Intelligencer

 

Rated G.

Two For The Seesaw

A dramatic comedy by William Gibson
 February 9 to March 10, 2007

 

Directed by David Ainsworth

 

 

A timeless tale of two souls who meet in the crowded loneliness of 1950’s Manhattan: he, an upright Midwesterner; she, an impulsive product of the Bronx. The teeter-totter of this unlikely romance provides a wonderfully complex weave of comedy and pathos, rendered with tenderness and sensitivity. 

 "It's a whale of a hit, a bittersweet joy ride." N.Y. Mirror.

"An absorbing, affectionate, and funny delight." N.Y. Daily News.

Rated PG

  A comedy  by Michael Hollinger
 May 11 to June 9, 2007

 

Directed by Charlie Riendeau

Produced by

 

A comedy-mystery filled with Russian spies, murder, espionage, mayhem and, of course, a love story.  This hilarious spoof of the detective story told in the noir style of the 1950’s, will have you in stitches. Don’t forget your trench coat and dark glasses.


”High hilarity and ‘at-wit's-end wit’, a smart and zany farce. You will find yourself giggling uncontrollably
.”  Chicago Sun-Times.

“Sharp dialogue and so many deliciously comic situations - it's also hilarious.”  Copley News Service.  

Rated PG
