Journey's EndJourney's End
by R.C. Sheriff
Directed by Clarence L. Strickland

A classic of the English-speaking theatre, this "tragic and moving" drama is the "greatest of all British war plays" showing the effect of war on a group of young officers in the WWI trenches.

Twelfth Night: or What You Will
by William Shakespeare
Directed by Dr. David W. Crawford
December 2-7, 1999

The Duke falls blindly in love with the countess Olivia, who falls madly in love with Cesari, who is really the disguised Viola, who falls hopelessly in love with the Duke. This "simple" plot grows in Elizabethan complexity until all characters are terribly and hilariously intertwined in the web of Aristocratic comic romance.

Moon Over Buffalo
by Ken Ludwig
Directed by Victor L. Siller
April 13-18, 2000

Notices that this modern comic farce delves into the "hilarious misunderstandings piled on by madcap adventures" just begin to touch the surface. A not-so-semi-professional acting couple is on tour in Buffalo and discover they have one more shot at the "big time".

 

The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas
Book by Larry L. King and Peter Masterson. Music and Lyrics by Carol Hall
Directed by Victor L. Siller
July 5-8, 2000

Billed as the "Best Broadway Musical" of the season. Touted as "100% American, utterly hilarious, charming, lively, energetic and never a moment wasted", this award-winning musical heats up your summer with a foot-stompin' country and western singin' and dancin' and the time-worn story of the infamous bawdy house that politicians, businessmen, and the local football teams made legendary.
