Amadeus by Peter Shaffer (Directed by Paul Mason Barnes) — September 9–October 4, 2009 — Astounded by the beauty of Mozart’s music and yet consumed by envy and insecurity in the face of the brash young man’s talent, court composer Salieri sets out to destroy the prodigy’s life and career. A towering story of diabolical greed and soul-shattering guilt, outrageous genius and glorious music. Winner of the Tony and Drama Desk Awards for Best Play.

Sleuth by Anthony Shaffer (Directed by Michael Evan Haney) — October 14–November 8, 2009 — Andrew Wyke, a prominent English mystery writer, invites young Milo Tindle to his isolated, elaborate country house to settle a rather unpleasant bit of business: Milo is having an affair with Wyke’s wife. Filled with more thrills, turns and twists than ten typical mysteries, this Tony Award-winning delicious puzzle will keep you guessing until the very end, as the pair engage in a deadly and increasingly complex game of cat and mouse.

A Christmas Story, Written by Philip Grecian and based upon A Christmas Story © 1983 Turner Entertainment, Co., distributed by Warner Bros., Written by Jean Shepherd, Leigh Brown and Bob Clark, and In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash by Jean Shepherd (Directed by John McCluggage) — December 2–27, 2009 — The only thing little Ralph Parker hopes to find under the tree is a Daisy Brand Red Ryder BB rifle. He doesn’t simply want it, he’s consumed with an aching desire for it. A deceptively dangerous playground dare, an unforgettable visit with a department store Santa and a bizarre, gaudy radio contest prize are among the vivid childhood memories told with warmth and a sleigh-load of laughs. Bring the whole family for a nostalgic, heartwarming kid’s-eye-view of the holidays.

To Be Announced — January 6–31, 2010 — At this time, we are negotiating for the opportunity to bring you a play filled with intrigue, international danger, old-fashioned romance and laugh-out-loud hilarity. (Yes, all in one show!) We know you’ll be excited when we make our announcement.

The Diary of Anne Frank by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, adapted by Wendy Kesselman (Directed by Steven Woolf) — February 10–March 7, 2010 — Hiding in an Amsterdam attic with her family and others, a young Jewish girl writes in her diary of her hopes, aspirations and observations of life under Nazi occupation. Caught up in a world of hate she couldn’t comprehend, Anne Frank grows as a young woman, ready for life and love just at the moment her dreams come to an end. Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-honored, this classic drama is a reminder that hope, courage and love can survive in even the darkest places and times.

The Fantasticks, Book and Lyrics by Tom Jones, Music by Harvey Schmidt (Directed by Victoria Bussert) — March 17–April 11, 2010 — Filled with whimsy and magic, this must-see musical tells the tale of two young lovebirds from neighboring families who steal glances and keep their romance a secret from their feuding fathers. Little do the kids know that their dads are actually good friends who’ve hatched a plan—with the help of a mystical band of a traveling players—to get the pair down the aisle. Honored with a Tony Award, The Fantasticks appears in the Guiness Book of Records as the world’s longest-running musical.
