The eternal struggle of the rebel against the inflexible rules and regulations of the ’establishment’ is more than entertaining... it creates even greater awareness of the worth of the individual in today’s impersonal society. These values have garnered awards for Peg Kehret and this thoroughly engrossing play. The Happy Hollow Rest Home brings together a variety of delightful characters, all of whom want more from life than their restricted existence allows. When 83-year-old Clara begins taking hula lessons, holding seances and sending out for pepperoni pizza, the other residents are overjoyed... and the manager is dismayed. The play adroitly combines with wisdom as a young aide, a lawyer and a policeman join forces to ensure that Happy Hollow’s group spirit is allowed to grow. From the hilarious poker party to the touching final scene, this play offers charm, insight and heart-warming humor.

A magical peach! An imprisoned boy! Insect friends! An incredible journey! This amazing adventure of James Henry Trotter will fulfill the fantasy of anyone who has ever dreamed of escape. Roald Dahl's story comes hilariously to life in this delightful dramatization that reveals the wickedness of some, the goodness of others, and the indecision encountered by many when they are faced with crises. You will see James (as he cleverly gets the Peach out of danger), the wise Old-Green-Grasshopper and the pessimistic Earthworm. You will also see James' mean Aunt Spiker and cruel Aunt Sponge come to a suitably sticky end. The Narrator, a storyteller, motivator, emcee and audience friend, ties the action together.

December at the Tin Shop
Written by Neil Simon “Produced by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals, New York Directed by David Ferrell Production Dates and Times Friday and Saturday, December 6th, 7th, 13th, and 14th at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, December 8th and 15th at 4:00 p.m. Hilarity abounds in this portrait of three couples successively occupying a suite at The Plaza. A suburban couple take the suite while their house is being painted and it turns out to be the one in which they honeymooned 23 (or was it 24?) years before and was yesterday the anniversary, or is it today? This wry tale of marriage in tatters is followed by the exploits of a Hollywood producer who, after three marriages, is looking for fresh fields. He calls a childhood sweetheart, now a suburban housewife, for a little sexual diversion. Over the years, she has idolized him from afar and is now more than the match he bargained for. The last couple is a mother and father fighting about the best way to get their daughter out of the bathroom and down to the ballroom where guests await her or as Mother yells, "I want you to come out of that bathroom and get married!"
