 The Taming of the Shrew, by William Shakespeare
October 20-22 at 8 pm and October 23 at 2 pm
Wealthy Baptista Minola refuses to allow his younger daughter, Bianca, to marry until his elder daughter, Katerina, has found a husband of her own. The trouble, of course, is that Katerina is a reputed shrew and no one in Padua is willing to marry her. Newly arrived from Verona, young gentleman Petruchio is intrigued by rumors of Katerina’s beauty, wealth---and also by the challenge of taming her. But will he succeed? Shakespeare’s popular, yet controversial farce pokes fun at society’s assumptions about gender and marriage, whether Elizabethan or contemporary.

 The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, by Rachel Sheinkin and William Finn
February 23-25 at 8 pm and February 26 at 2 pm
Six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a hilarious tale of overachievers' angst chronicling the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The show's Tony Award winning creative team has created the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time.

Endgame, by Samuel Beckett
April 26-28 at 8 pm and April 29 at 2 pm
Hamm, who is blind and unable to stand, sits in a wheelchair in a sparse room that is partially below ground. His parents, legless and deposited in ashcans, have been situated in a corner. All are attended to by Hamm’s servant, Clov, who is unable to sit down and repeatedly threatens to leave. But the outside world, seen by Clov through two small windows, seems dark, cold and uninhabited. Or is it? Beckett’s Endgame (1957), identified by Martin Esslin as one of the seminal plays of The Theatre of the Absurd, is at once disturbing and deeply humorous. The meaning of the play is open to the interpretation of the audience; has the world experienced some sort of catastrophe, or is it all in the minds of the characters?
