SEASON'S GREETINGS finds Belinda and Neville at their quaint English home on Christmas Eve. Neville has forgotten to buy his wife a gift. Uncle Harvey takes in a non-stop marathon of TV action films. Neville's friend Eddie and his wife are at each others throats. And Dr. Bernard rehearses an unintentionally hysterical puppet show while his wife Phyllis gets sloshed on the cooking wine. It's all pretty "normal" until Belinda's sister Rachel invites her friend Clive to the home – and then things really start to go awry.

BOEING-BOEING centers on Bernard, an American architect living in Paris, who has been successfully juggling three – yes, three – fiancées who are all flight attendants. Bernard’s housekeeper reluctantly plays romantic air-traffic controller as they fly in and out of his swank bachelor pad. But when his old college pal Robert visits, things get rather turbulent. Schedules change, flights are delayed, and chaos ensues in this hysterical, high-flying fiancée fiasco.

This classic farce, originally penned in French, was first performed in France in 1961. It moved to London the following year where it enjoyed a successful run until 1972.

Set in a Bronx Catholic school in 1964, DOUBT concerns Father Flynn (J. Scott Williams, Brookfield), an amiable new priest who believes the clergy should be thought of "as members of the family" to its congregation. His forward-thinking views immediately clash with those of Sister Aloysius (Noel Desiato, Sherman) – the authoritarian principal who favors discipline over compassion. The conflict mounts towards an explosive climax when Aloysius accuses Flynn of "interfering" with a student based on unproven evidence.

"The play isn’t just about religion, race, or sexism. DOUBT explores the very depths of human nature, the fine line that people walk between morality and ethics, and the motivating circumstances of each decision they make," said Director Alicia Dempster of Danbury. "[Playwright John Patrick] Shanley’s dialogue is superb, and he has constructed four very unique, yet familiar, characters. Fortunately, our production features four outstanding performers to fill those shoes and give us a recipe for a magnificent drama that no one should miss."

"Audiences will walk out of this show debating who is lying, who is telling the truth, and so much more," said the show’s Producer, Set Designer, and TheatreWorks President, Richard Pettibone of New Milford. "It moves swiftly, is thought-provoking, and has the ingredients of a thriller, a morality tale, a mystery, and like any good drama, even some comic moments."

DOUBT’s cast also features Stephanie Jackson (Farmington) as Mrs. Muller and Jessica Alex (Washington) as Sister James.

The production crew includes Technical Director, Scott Wyshynski (Washington); Lighting Designer, Brian Casel; and Costumer Designer, Joseph Russo (New Milford).

DOUBT debuted Off-Broadway at The Manhattan Theatre Club on November 23, 2004 and moved to The Walter Kerr Theatre on Broadway on March 31, 2005. The show went on to win both the 2005 Tony Award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The play was also the basis for the 2008 Academy Award-nominated film with Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

New York Newsday called the play "[The] #1 show of the year. In just ninety fast-moving minutes, Shanley creates four blazingly individual people. DOUBT is a lean, potent drama…passionate, exquisite, important, and engrossing."

DOUBT runs July 10,11 17,18 24,25,26 31 and August 1. Curtain time is 8:00 p.m. Fridays & Saturdays, with a 2:00 p.m. Sunday matinee on July 26. Tickets for all shows are $20.00 for reserved seating.

A timeless Broadway classic, the Tony Award-winning hit musical KISS ME, KATE is based on William Shakespeare’s "The Taming of the Shrew" and centers on big-time actors Lilli Vanessi and Fred Graham. The formerly-married, constantly battling couple is now forced to reunite for a new musical version of "Shrew." Their onstage tussles as Shakespeare’s Katherine and Petruchio are nothing compared to their offstage affairs, backstage brawls, and hilarious misunderstandings. As time goes by the couple realizes, much like the characters in the original play, that they are hopelessly bound to each other.
