Amadeus (Reason #1)
By Peter Shaffer
Directed by Julie Janson
The story of legendary composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, as told through the eyes of his jealous rival Antonio Salieri, this psychological mystery won the Tony Award for Best Play and the Academy Award for Best Film. Salieri is the established court composer who has given himself to God so that he might realize his sole ambition to be a great composer. Enter the greatest composer of all time: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a foul-mouthed, graceless oaf who has that which is beyond Salieri’s envious grasp – genius.

Best Christmas Pageant Ever (Reason #2)
By Barbara Robinson
Directed by Liz Mykietyn
The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world; they lie, steal and cheat. Now they have taken over the church’s annual Christmas pageant! The entire town has gathered in anticipation, waiting to see the Herdmans ruin Christmas – or will they? This funny, heartwarming, holiday tale has become a classic: and good for the entire family!
Co-Produced by Providence Players and The Young Hearts
This special production of a holiday treat will benefit the work of The Young Hearts, a group of amazing teens who raise funds to battle blood cancers and other diseases. Half of all net proceeds from this production will be donated to Young Hearts Foundation in pursuit of their important mission. For the past three years, over $24,000 was generated to support this important cause, and PPF hopes to increase its support in 2016.

To Kill a Mockingbird (Reason #3)
By Christopher Sergel
Based upon the novel by Harper Lee
Directed by Beth Whitehead
Based on the Pulitzer prize-winning masterwork and one of the best-loved stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird is a gripping and heart-wrenching tale of coming-of-age in the South. Set in a town poisoned by prejudice, the play portrays a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, Scout, as her father—a crusading local lawyer—risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime.

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike (Reason #4)
By Christopher Durang
Directed by Jimmy Gertzog
The Tony Award winner for Best Play of 2013, Durang’s hit comedy skewers the classic dramas of Chekhov through an absurdist tale of family dysfunction. But you don’t have to be a student of Russian literature to appreciate this zany farce. Siblings Vanya and Sonia live a quiet life in the Bucks County farmhouse where they grew up. But when their movie-star sister Masha returns home unannounced with Spike, her 20-something boy toy, an unforgettable weekend ensues.
