Scripps Ranch Theatre has announced its 2011-2012 season:
 
How The Other Half Loves by Alan Ayckbourn 
September 10 - October 8, 2011
Written by the Neil Simon of England and directed by the gent who directed one of your all-time favorites, Not Now, Darling, this is an ingenious comedy like none you have ever experienced. The dinner party scene alone is worth the price of admission. Imagine two dinner parties in two different houses, on two different nights, played simultaneously on one stage!  “You can go into the theatre sober and come out later - drunk from laughter.” UPI
 
* The Magical Journey (“La Posada Magica”) by by Octavio Solis, Music by Marcos Loya
November 12 - December 17, 2011
A staple for a number of years at the prestigious South Coast Rep, we are honored to present this remarkable, beautiful, enchanting musical production. A young girl who has begun to doubt the meaning of Christmas embarks on a fantastic journey in this wonderfully lyrical, festive musical. Themes of joy and hope abound. This play will no doubt sell out, so make your reservations early. “The magic of Christmas is oversold, but Magica is the real thing.” LA Times

Brooklyn Boy by Donald Margulies
January 21 - February 18, 2012
Written by a Pulitzer Prize winner, this inspirational comedy is about going home again; going back to your neighborhood, your family, your friends, your religion and yourself. This is a witty, emotionally rich tale in which you will find personal resonance and hope.  “Truly one of the best plays I have seen ... You really must go.” WOR radio; “Uproariously funny.” NY Daily News
 
Almost, Maine by John Cariani
March 24 - April 21, 2012
We are proud to present the San Diego premier of this fantasia. Beneath the glow of the northern lights, in a star filled sky, love in all its wonder and wackiness fills this midwinter night’s dream. This is a play for everyone who has ever experienced the mystical wonderment and bewilderment of being in love. While watching it, holding hands is permitted.   “Susceptible hearts may be set to tingling …” NY Times
 
California Suite by Neil Simon
May 26 -June 23, 2012
Neil Simon at his most humane, compassionate best. A humorous confection divided into four parts. If you liked Plaza Suite, you’ll love California Suite. Neil Simon, four couples and one hotel suite add up to an uproarious, sky bursting ending to our best season ever!   “Mr. Simon is writing at his ebullient best. His language has the grace of conversation we wish our friends could muster." NY Times
