Bus Stop
By William Inge
Student Matinee Thurs March 11, 2010 10:15am
On the Mainstage
Directed by Austin Pendleton
A small-town diner is in for quite a night when a blizzard strands a busload of unusual passengers on its doorstep. While the diner owner may finally have her chance to scratch a long-held itch for the macho bus driver, the other guests have their own agendas: a lovesick rodeo rider has kidnapped a nightclub singer, a pretentious Ph.D. who is looking for love in all the wrong places, and a Shakespeare-quoting teenage waitress might get her first crack at romance. In the course of a turbulent night, will it be love or mayhem that survives the storm?

Triumph of Love
Student Matinee Thurs May 6 & 13, 2010 10:15am
On the Mainstage
Book by James Magruder; Lyrics by Susan Birkenhead; Music by Jeffrey Stock
The handsome and sheltered Prince Agis has been raised by his Spartan uncle and aunt to follow one rule: renounce love! Logic prevails until the charming and beautiful Princess Leonide arrives with her heart set on wooing and beguiling the unsuspecting Prince down the aisle. Hilarity ensues as Leonide counters reason with heart and won’t take no for an answer. Three seductions, four disguises, and fifteen musical numbers reignite dormant passion as one and all discover that true love will stop at nothing!

Misalliance
Student Matinee Thurs October 21, 2010 10:15am
On the Mainstage
By George Bernard Shaw
Directed by Jack Going
On a beautiful Saturday afternoon, wealthy underwear merchant John Tarleton, his wife, and adult children, Johnny and Hypatia, host a small party at their country estate. The invited guests include Hypatia’s prospective husband, a well-meaning, if wimpy, son of an aristocrat. Is it a match? As Hypatia longs for excitement and a break from convention, adventure falls from the sky…literally! An airplane crash brings unexpected visitors, and with them comes more excitement (and suitors) than Hypatia bargained for.
