Sylvia
	Written by A. R. Gurney Directed by Mike Seeley Greg's career is winding down, while Kate's career is beginning to offer her more opportunities. Greg brings home a dog bearing only the name "Sylvia" on her tag, which becomes a major bone of contention between them. The dog offers Greg an escape from the frustrations of his job and the unknowns of middle age. To Kate, Sylvia becomes a rival for affection. And Sylvia thinks Kate just doesn't understand the relationship between man and dog. The marriage is put in serious jeopardy until, after a series of hilarious and touching complications, Greg and Kate learn to compromise, and Sylvia becomes a valued part of their lives. "Gurney's mad comedy is the most endearing good time to trot down the pike in many a moon. Howlingly funny" -- BackStage	Auditions: Aug 12^thand Aug 13^th @ 7:00 Performances: September 27, 28, 29 @ 8:00pm, September 30^th @ 2:30pm October 5, 6 @ 8:00pm, October 7^th @ 2:30pm ** : Please note our season preview brochures had the incorrect dates for these auditions.

Bell, Book and Candle
	Written by John Van Druten Directed by David Goodlett Gillian Holroyd, of the Murray Hill district, casts a spell over an unattached publisher, partly to keep him away from a rival and partly because she is attracted to him. He falls head over heels in love with her at once and wants to marry her. But witches, unfortunately, cannot fall in love, and this minute imperfection leads into a number of ... difficulties. Ultimately, the lady breaks off with her companions in witchery, preferring the normal and human love offered her by the attractive publisher, Shepherd Henderson. Before the happy conclusion of the romance, Gillian comes very near losing him...but doesn't.

Cliffhanger
	Written by James Yaffe Directed by Bill Aiken Mingling suspense and humor, this ingeniously plotted thriller follows all the unexpected twists and turns that result when a seemingly mild-mannered professor of philosophy is driven to apparent murder to protect his reputation and career. A regional theater success, the play was later transferred to Broadway for an extended run. "It combines the warmth and charm of On Golden Pond with almost as many plot twists as Deathtrap." --Variety.

The Odd Couple
	Written by Neil Simon Directed by Bill Baker This renowned comedy begins with a group of the boys assembled for cards in the apartment of a divorced fellow, and if the mess is any indication, it's no wonder that his wife left him. Late to arrive is another fellow who, they learn, has just been separated from his wife. Since he is very meticulous and tense, they fear he might commit suicide, and so go about locking all the windows. When he arrives, he is scarcely allowed to go to the bathroom alone. As life would have it, the slob bachelor and the meticulous fellow decide to bunk together, with hilarious results. The patterns of their own disastrous marriages begin to reappear in this arrangement, and so this too must end.

Complications pile up thick and fast as, realizing their dilemma and desperate to make a good impression on Jeremy's colleagues, the couple stages two dinner parties simultaneously, one on the patio and one in the dining room.
