March 1 – April 7, 2024By: Aaron Sorkin
Directed by: Karlyn Love
A U.S. soldier is dead, and military lawyers want to know why. Accused are two Marines stationed at Guantanamo Bay, but who is really to blame? Was this a simple murder or something far more incendiary? Aaron Sorkin’s searing courtroom drama is a provocative and engaging meditation on the inevitable corruption of power, and the responsibilities of those who are just following orders. As timely today as the day it was written!
Title Sponsors: Bill & Barbara Warner

WEIRD ROMANCE
October 20 – 21, 2023Music by: Alan Menken
Lyrics by: David Spencer
Book by: Alan Brennert
Weird Romance is a two one-act 1992 musical containing a curious mix of a science fiction framework around traditional themes – the generation gap, a love triangle, and the archetypal conflict between those who have power and those who have none. The first, The Girl Who Was Plugged In, is about a homeless bag-lady whose soul is transplanted into the body of a gorgeous female android by a company which manufactures celebrities. The second, Her Pilgrim Soul, is about a scientist who researches holographic imaging. One day a mysterious “living” holograph, apparently a woman long dead, appears and changes his life forever.
ROMANCE/ROMANCE
February 16-17, 2024 Book and Lyrics by: Barry Harman
Music by: Keith Herrmann
The show is composed of two acts linked only by the common theme of love and one song performed in both acts. The first, The Little Comedy, explores the budding relationship between two people who have adopted personas other than their own. Set in late 19th century Vienna, we find Josefine, weary of the social life provided by her upper-class lovers, and wealthy playboy Alfred, who has tired of a seemingly endless round of inconsequential affairs. She assumes the guise of a working-class woman, while he pretends to be a struggling poet, and the two meet while enjoying their new identities. Summer Share, the second act is set in The Hamptons, where two married couples in their thirties are spending the season in a rented cottage. Sam, who is married to Barb, and Monica, who is married to Lenny, find themselves gradually progressing from harmless flirtation to the serious possibility of an illicit affair.

April 12-13, 2024Book by: Dick VosburghMusic by Jerry Herman, Frank Lazarus
Lyrics by: Jerry Herman, Dick Vosburgh
This Tony Award-winning musical comedy of two one-act plays is a double feature more hilarious than any presented in Hollywood’s heyday. The first, A Day in Hollywood is a musical tribute form the ushers at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre who imagine themselves upon the silver screen, and then in the second act we are off to A Night in the Ukraine at a Russian mansion and a fast-paced comedy à la the Marx Brothers, including tap dancing and rubber chickens!
