AN AMERICAN CLASSIC
Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck
One of Steinbeck’s most acclaimed works, this American classic chronicles four days in the lives of migrant workers, George and Lennie. Unlikely friends, they move from town to town hoping to work and save enough to own their own piece of land. But Lennie stirs up trouble, and George must choose between his friend and his dream. This vivid picture of the Great Depression conveys a tale of friendship, loneliness and unfortunate circumstances for even “the best laid schemes of mice and men.” Tony award nominated and winner of Best Play by the New York Drama Critic’s Circle.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, by C. S. Lewis
Four children, evacuated from London during World War II, explore their new country home. Lucy, the youngest, stumbles upon a curious wardrobe, climbs in and discovers a magical forest in the land of Narnia. The land is under the power of a White Witch, and soon Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy must lead an entire kingdom in a fight for good. This popular and heart-warming tale is full of mystical creatures, talking animals and Aslan, the great lion and ruler of Narnia. A holiday treat that is good for the entire family.

When she announces her plans to publish a tell-it-all memoir of crucial events in the family’s past, she brings to light secrets, intrigue, fear and a surprising twist that even she can’t fathom.

HILARIOUS COMEDY PARODY
The Glass Mendacity, by Maureen Morley and Tom Willmorth

It’s Big Daddy’s birthday and the entire blended family have gathered at Belle Reve to celebrate with sweet tea, cheese balls, cards and a brutish, unfettered, southern charm. If you don’t know these plays, don’t fret. These off-kilter and dysfunctional family shenanigans can be enjoyed by all!

The Plot – Four couples arrive at the posh suburban residence of New York’s deputy mayor, and his wife to attend a party celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary. The couples soon discover that there are no servants, the hostess is missing and the deputy mayor has shot himself in the earlobe. Comic complications arise when, given everyone’s upper class status, they decide they need to do everything possible to conceal the evening’s events from the local police and the media. The confusion is not helped by the plethora of rumors about the hosts and most of the guests. One of Neil Simon’s best and funniest. Rumors is an adult comedy with some strong language

Many in the large opening night audience for Rumors were on their feet at curtain call still smiling and laughing after two hours of fast paced high jinx as the cast of the Providence Players’ production of the Neil Simon farce hit the stage for its maiden performance. That wonderful chemistry that can develop between cast and audience was palpable in the theater as the 130+ crowd filled the room with laughter at one of Neil Simon’s funniest plays. The fun continues tonight and Sunday afternoon and then again next week, Thursday through Sunday.
