According to Jill Drexler, SRT’s Artistic Director, “The coming season offers mostly family friendly entertainment in response to many comments from our patrons who wished to bring the whole family to see good theatre.  (The exception being our final offering – a slightly naughty farce with some typically semi-clad cuties running around.)”

This year we are offering special preview prices for the first Friday evening performance of each production.  Seating is limited, so these special preview seats will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. 

I’m Not Rappaport - By Herb Gardner
September 11 to October 10, 2009
This comedy is a Tony Award best play winner. Meet Midge and Nat, two old codgers who meet in the park daily. Midge is an African-American janitor, hiding from his tenants who want him to retire; Nat is a Jewish old time radical, hiding from irrelevance by spinning fantasies and fighting injustice, both real and imagined. Their cantankerous relationship is the stuff of pure comic genius

Holiday Memories - Adapted by Russel Vandenbroucke
November 13 – December 12, 2009
Based on two short stories from Truman Capote, “The Thanksgiving Visitor” and “A Christmas Memory,” this is a charming, heartwarming remembrance of a young man and his family. A nostalgic holiday tale laced with lyricism, wit and gentle charm that is sure to impart a warm glow to family audiences.

They’re Playing Our Song - Book by Neil Simon, Music by Marvin Hamlisch and Lyrics by Carol Bayer Sager
January 15 ­ February 20, 2010
A romantic comedy musical about an established composer and an aspiring young lyricist. Written with the usual Neil Simon wit, and graced with the musical genius of Hamlisch and Bayer Sager, this production will send you out the door with a smile on your face and a song in your heart.

Over The River and Through The Woods - By Joe DiPietro
March 26 – April 24, 2010
A wonderful family comedy by the author of “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” that was the favorite production of our 2007 / 2008 season. Nick, a single Italian-American, has dinner with his grandparents every Sunday. When he tells them he is leaving New Jersey to take a job in Seattle, they devise a scheme to keep him home that includes introducing him to the lovely Caitlin O’Hare.

Not Now, Darling - By Ray Cooney & John Chapman
May 28 – June 26, 2010
This hilarious farce set box-office records in Paris, London and New York. This is the tale of two unlikely partners in a fur salon, Bodley, the philanderer, and Crouch the guileless innocent. The action of the play involves girlfriends, suspicious husbands and wives, intrigue, scantily clad girls clapped hurriedly into closets, the usual mistaken identities and non-stop laughter.

Season ticket prices for all five plays are $84 adults and $69 for seniors 62+, students, and active duty military. Please visit the website for more details: www.scrippsranchtheatre.org.
 
All performances are held in the Legler Benbough Theatre on the campus of Alliant International University (formerly United States International University) ) on Avenue of Nations in Scripps Ranch, one-half mile east of the I-15/Miramar-Pomerado Road exit.

Performances are on Friday and Saturday nights at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. For season tickets, more information and reservations, check the Website www.scrippsranchtheatre.org or call 858-578-7728.
