Gadzooks! Make way for this Shakespearean parody of the 1980 comedy classic, Caddyshack. Join Dardanius, Titus, Lavinia Bottom, and asst. greenskeeper Carliolanus as the putt-putt makes putzes out of them all. Gophers, Kenny Loggins, and a poolside Baby Ruth help motivate these dukes, duffers, and damsels as they hook and slice their way through the Shakespearean couplets. Fore!

THE ROYAL FAMILY is the well-known classic comedy (loosely based on the acting Barrymore family in the 1920’s), written by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber. The director is Steven LaVigne, whose most recent productions for our group were: MARY ROSE: A GHOST STORY, CHARLEY’S AUNT,and FRANKENSTEIN.

Performance dates are November 6-7, 13-14-15, and 20-21.

The curtain goes up on the most famous theatrical family on Broadway: the fabulous Cavendish clan, which has defined unforgettable stage acting for over three generations. A bittersweet bouquet to the glory of the Great White Way, The Royal Family portrays the offstage melodrama of what it means to have greasepaint in your veins. While matriarch Fanny Cavendish plans a farewell tour, her leading lady daughter, Julie, has to choose between a dinner date and a first rehearsal – and just when matinee idol brother Tony is on the lam for slugging a Hollywood director. In the meantime, Fanny’s granddaughter, Gwen, is thinking the unthinkable – chucking the whole thing to marry a stockbroker. “Marriage isn’t a career – it’s an incident,” sniffs Fanny. But the show must go on – and so must the Cavendish tradition. When the curtain falls, the torch is passed from one generation of actors to another.

It’s 1985, and rock star wannabe, Robbie Hart, is New Jersey’s favorite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party until his own fiancée leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own. Enter Julia, a winsome waitress who wins his affection. As luck would have it, Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and, unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever.

Jo Crenshaw dreams of turning the abandoned house she inherited in Salem, Massachusetts, into a successful bed and breakfast. But that could be a problem when she and her teenage daughter discover the place is home to five rambunctious ghosts. And none of the spirits are particularly keen on sharing it with an endless parade of guests.

The level-headed Jo quickly lays down the law. There will be absolutely no haunting of the guests. But Roland, a cobbler from the 1790s, can’t help himself. He ends up scaring off the very first guest they have: a popular travel blogger who dubs the place ”the most haunted B&B in New England.” Within days, the place is mobbed by thrill-loving tourists seeking their own ghostly encounters.

Unfortunately, this draws the attention of Julia, the greedy owner of the largest hotel in town. After her plans to sabotage the property fail, she decides there’s only one way to put the B&B out of business: hire a trio of “ghostbusters” to get rid of the ghosts for good.

In the “spirit” of the popular TV show, Too Many Ghosts is a hilarious, heartwarming comedy that’s guaranteed to lift your spirits any time of year.

THE ROYAL FAMILY is the well-known classic comedy (loosely based on the acting Barrymore family in the 1920’s), written by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber. The director is Steven LaVigne, whose most recent productions for our group were: MARY ROSE: A GHOST STORY, CHARLEY’S AUNT,and FRANKENSTEIN.

Performance dates are November 6-7, 13-14-15, and 20-21.

The curtain goes up on the most famous theatrical family on Broadway: the fabulous Cavendish clan, which has defined unforgettable stage acting for over three generations. A bittersweet bouquet to the glory of the Great White Way, The Royal Family portrays the offstage melodrama of what it means to have greasepaint in your veins. While matriarch Fanny Cavendish plans a farewell tour, her leading lady daughter, Julie, has to choose between a dinner date and a first rehearsal – and just when matinee idol brother Tony is on the lam for slugging a Hollywood director. In the meantime, Fanny’s granddaughter, Gwen, is thinking the unthinkable – chucking the whole thing to marry a stockbroker. “Marriage isn’t a career – it’s an incident,” sniffs Fanny. But the show must go on – and so must the Cavendish tradition. When the curtain falls, the torch is passed from one generation of actors to another.

“Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek..” And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there’s one on hand. and his name is Shrek.

Shrek presents a treasure trove of creative opportunities, including costumes, sets, puppets (there is a fire-breathing dragon after all) and more! Irreverently fun for the whole family, Shrek proves that beauty is truly in the eye of the ogre.
