And our last show to announce for our 2020-2021 Season is...

"SOUTHERN FRIED FUNERAL"
by Osborne & Eppler
Directed by Aletha Hollis Taylor

Synopsis: Dewey Frye is dead and the rest of his family is left to pick up the pieces -- that is if they don't kill each other first. Not only does matriarch Dorothy have to contend with sudden widowhood, but she's also faced with church-committee harpy Ozella Meeks sticking her nose in the family business, Dewey's snake-in-the-grass brother making a grab for her house, and two grown daughters reliving their childhood rivalry. Funerals bring out the worst, the best, and the funniest in people, and the Fryes are no exception. A big-hearted comedy about family -- Southern-style.

Another hilarious show coming next season...

"LOVE, S*X, AND THE I.R.S."
by Billy Van Zandt, Jane Milmore

Synopsis: Jon Trachtman and Leslie Arthur are out of work musicians who room together in New York City. To save money, Jon has been filing tax returns listing the pair as married. The day of reckoning comes when the Internal Revenue Service informs the “couple” they’re going to be investigated. Leslie masquerades as a housewife, aided by Jon’s fiancée, Kate. Complicating matters further, Leslie and Kate are having an affair behind Jon’s back, Jon’s mother drops in unexpectedly to meet her son’s fiancée, and Leslie’s ex-girlfriend shows up demanding to know why Leslie has changed and won’t see her anymore. Like a cross between I Love Lucy and Some Like it Hot.

Coming January 22nd - January 31st...

"NANA'S NAUGHTY KNICKERS"
by Katherine DiSavino
Directed by Allison & Derek Pearman

Synopsis: Bridget and her grandmother are about to become roommates. However, what Bridget saw as a unique opportunity to stay with her favorite nana in New York for the summer quickly turns into an experience she’ll never forget. It seems her sweet grandma is running an illegal boutique from her apartment, selling handmade naughty knickers to every senior citizen in the five-borough area! Will Bridget be able to handle all the excitement? Will her nana get arrested – or worse – evicted?

Reviews:
"Nana's Naughty Knickers brought down the house." - Grant Tribune-Sentinel

"This show is entertaining and laugh-out-loud funny from beginning to end. It is hard to tell if the audience or the cast is having the most fun." - Delphos Herald

Next up for our eighth season is...

"A FEW GOOD MEN"
by Aaron Sorkin

Synopsis: Aaron Sorkin’s groundbreaking debut tells the story of a group of military lawyers assigned to defend two Marines in Guantanamo Bay. During the course of the trial, they uncover a high-level conspiracy designed to eliminate weaker soldiers in the name of patriotism.

Reviews:
"Enormously entertaining." - New York Daily News

"Plenty of wise cracking humor and suspense." - Time Magazine

The first show of our eighth season is *drum roll*...

"THE OUTSIDER"
by Paul Slade Smith
Directed by Lee Alexander

Synopsis: Ned Newley doesn't even want to be governor. He's terrified of public speaking; his poll numbers are impressively bad. To his ever-supportive Chief of Staff, Ned seems destined to fail. But political consultant Arthur Vance sees things differently: Ned might be the worst candidate to ever run for office. Unless the public is looking for... the worst candidate to ever run for office. A timely and hilarious comedy that skewers politics and celebrates democracy.

Reviews:
"Funny, timely, and dare we say, entirely possible, The Outsider is a wonderfully crafted, superbly presented show... It is an insightful, witty satire about modern American politics that will appeal to a vast audience." - Broadway World

"Mr. Smith deserves to go to Washington, and all around our nation, with this inspired satire." - Green Bay Press
