THE LION IN WINTER
by James Goldman, directed by Ed Cotter
Feb 29 - Mar 29
Runs Fri & Sat @ 8pm; Sun 3/16 @ 7pm; Thu 3/27 @ 8pm
This magnificent comedy-drama brims with lavish humor, family squabbles and royal conspiracies. The year is 1183; Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine, his wife, battle to decide which of their three sons is to be the next King of England. Each ambitious son wants the crown, and each is willing to do anything to be named heir. The Lion in Winter is an engagingly epic, furiously witty tragicomedy of royalty in love and at war, ‘til death do them part.
“A work of intelligence, astringent wit, and much theatrical skill.” —N.Y. Times.

CRIMES OF THE HEART
by Beth Henley, directed by Melanie Jones
Apr 18 - May 24
Runs Fri & Sat @ 8pm; Sun 5/4 & 5/11 @ 7pm; Thu 5/15 & 5/22 @ 8pm
These Southern sisters are having a comic crisis. Lenny is nursing grandaddy, Meg is home from the sanitarium, and Babe is out on bail. Henley’s telling of their tale is so true and touching and consistently hilarious that it will linger in the mind long after the curtain has descended. This Pulitzer Prize-winning Southern gothic comedy is busting at the seams with childhood jealousies, unrequited love, and a lifelong vendetta. Lemonade, anyone?

MENOPAUSE MAMA
Only 6 Performances! Wed & Thu at 8pm April 23, 24, 30 May 1, 7 & 8
Tickets $20
Menopause Mama uses the stories of women -- and men -- who have successfully (and not-so-successfully) chartered the waters we call "the change of life." Weaver depicts the struggles, triumphs, and tears as well as the lighter side of menopause. The show, like Ms. Weaver herself, is nothing short of simply sensational.--East Bay Newspapers Weaver’s acting, storytelling and singing abilities are put to the test for this performance and she passes with flying colors. -- LoveThyJob.com

It’s a wild ride to Niagara Falls in a barrel of laughs with this wacky comedy set at the famous landmark. Cass is in the throes of a seven-year itch. She has a list of 267 things that she’s dying to experience, but feels stuck in a claustrophobic marriage. The discovery of her husband’s dirty little secret lurking in his sweater drawer sets her on a frantic search for the life she thinks she’s missed out on. Her journey has her crossing paths with a host of crazy characters which should keep you in stitches from stem to stern.
“Full frontal lunacy is on display. A most assuredly fresh and hilarious tragicomedy of marital discord run amok. Absolutely hysterical.”—Variety.
