  The Kitchen Witches:
  A Comedy

  October 1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 2010

  Directed by DC Cathro
  By Caroline Smith.

  Isobel Lomax and Dolly Biddle are two "mature" cable-access cooking show hostesses who have hated each other for 30 years, ever since Stephen Biddle dated one and married the other. When circumstances put them together on a TV show called The Kitchen Witches, the insults are flung harder than the food! Dolly's long-suffering TV-producer son Stephen tries to keep them on track, but as long as Dolly's dressing room is one inch closer to the set than Isobel's, it's a losing battle, and the show becomes a rating smash as Dolly and Isobel top both Martha Stewart and Jerry Springer!

  July 22, 23, 24, 29, 30 and 31, 2011

  Directed by TBA
  Music and Lyrics by Kander and Ebb, Book by Rupert Holmes.
  
  This 2007 Best Musical Tony nominee is the story of a backstage murder mystery set in 1959 Boston. In "Curtains" the cast and crew of a Broadway-bound musical all become suspects after the show's leading lady mysteriously drops dead onstage while taking her final bow to the sound of applause. The lead detective on the case, Frank Cioffi, is a community theatre ham who is thrilled to be rubbing elbows with the performers and who takes great joy in solving both the murder and the problems with the production.
