Harvey - March 23 - April 15, 2012
Produced by Amy Wathen Cooksey and Rick Pitonyak Directed by Keith Linville
(Comedy) Elwood P Dowd’s best friend is Harvey; the trouble with Harvey is that he’s a pooka, an invisible, six-foot-one-and-one-half-inch tall, Celtic spirit, in the form of an anthropomorphic rabbit. Elwood’s social-climbing sister, Veta and her daughter, Myrtle Mae, are not having it. Veta makes the momentous decision to have Elwood committed to Chumley’s Rest Sanitarium, and things go very, strangely wrong. Veta ends up committed, till a judge straightens the matter out. Now the family, the judge, two doctors, and a very angry orderly search every bar in town for Elwood and Harvey, but they have their work cut out for them, because "Harvey knows this town like a book."

Into the Woods - May 18 - June 10, 2012
Produced by Ann Marie Watson Directed by Brooke L. Howells Music Director James D. Watson
(Musical) From the delightful and devious mind of seven-time Tony Award winner Stephen Sondheim, Into the Woods is a motley collection of famous fairy tales whose characters don’t exactly wind up living "happily ever after." Giants, witches and charming princes abound as Cinderella, Red Riding Hood, Jack and friends take to the woods (and one tall beanstalk) in search of their deepest desires, only to find that their wishes come with unexpected, and sometimes grim, consequences. Featuring memorable tunes including "Agony" and "Children Will Listen," the musical is a clever mix of irreverence, angst and genuine emotion that will leave you looking at children’s stories in a whole new light.
