The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
music & lyrics by William Finn, book by Rachel Sheinkin
directed by Beth Bonnabeau
musical director Daniel Koch
February 26 — March 27 Spelling Bee

This 2005 Tony Award-winning musical comedy was a smash with both critics and audiences alike. The show follows the experiences of six nerdy-but-lovable outsiders, in the throes of puberty, battling for the spelling championship of a lifetime. Supervising the competition is a group of grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves. And did we mention that willing participants from the audience get to join in the action? It’s the perfect recipe for an evening of F-U-N. “Putnam County is that rarity of rarities, a super-smart show that is also a bona fide crowd-pleaser.” — The Wall Street Journal


Mauritius
by Theresa Rebeck
directed by Sonnie Osborne
June 4 — 26 Mauritius

The stakes are high when half-sisters inherit a book of rare stamps that may include the “crown jewels” of the stamp-collecting world and could be worth millions. The battle for possession takes a dangerous turn when three rival collectors enter the sisters’ universe, willing to go to any lengths to stake their claim on the find. Combining the most thrilling aspects of Alfred Hitchcock, Raymond Chandler, and David Mamet, Mauritius is a gripping blend of sharp comedy and heart-pounding drama that simmers with constant surprise. “The sort of well-made, engrossing and unpretentious play rarely encountered on Broadway these days, Mauritius is a welcome introduction…” — The Hollywood Reporter

Exit The King
by Eugene Ionesco
directed by Jane Farnol
September 17 — October 9 Exit The King

Nominated for four Tony Awards for its 2009 revival, Exit the King is a brilliant absurdist comedy-drama and an insightful tale of ego and mortality. King Berenger’s kingdom is crumbling around him. Once, he ruled over an immense empire and commanded great armies, but now his kingdom has shrunk to the confines of his garden wall — even the royal washing machine has to be pawned. To make matters worse, His Majesty quickly learns that he will “die at the end of the play.” Refusing to accept his end, he is attended by his present and former Queens who must help him face the final inevitable truth of life. “Exit the King will offer a welcome respite from real-life woes; others may find its tale topical, even cautionary...Ionesco’s account of a ruler who squanders his time is well worth yours.” — USA Today


Almost, Maine
by John Cariani
directed by Glenn R. Couture
December 3 — 31 Almost, Maine

Set in the mythical town of Almost, Maine, this delightful romantic comedy creatively delves into the vast mysteries of the human heart with laughter, heartbreak, and hope. On a cold, moonless night in the middle of winter, all is not quite what it seems as the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above Almost. Residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. Love is lost, found, and confounded. But the bruises heal and the hearts mend — almost — in this enchanting midwinter night’s dream. “…a whimsical approach to the joys and perils of romance. Magical happenings bloom beneath the snowdrifts.” — The New York Times
