Play On

The hilarious story of a theatre group trying desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interference from a haughty author who keeps revising the script. Act I is a rehearsal of the dreadful show, Act II is the near disastrous dress rehearsal, and the final act is the actual performance, in which anything that can go wrong does. The play provides non-stop laughs throughout this fast-paced romp. The show will be directed by Kimberly Tyner Jones and will run for eight total performances July 20-30. The play will have acting roles available for seven women and three men.

Bus Stop

This classic dramatic comedy follows eight bus passengers stranded at 1950s roadside diner in the middle of a snowstorm. A young, rambunctious cowboy is headed back to his ranch in Montana after falling in love and kidnapping the first girl he meets — a nightclub singer named Cherie. Mix in a no-nonsense sheriff, a flirty bus driver, a tipsy college professor, and two waitresses just trying to referee the madness, and you’ve got a wonderfully heartfelt play that has charmed audiences for more than 60 years.

The Play That Goes Wrong

Broadway’s smash-hit farce makes its way to TRP. The play within a play follows Opening Night of Cornley University Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. The 1920s whodunit has everything you never want in a show – an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines)

Misery

Misery follows successful romance novelist Paul Sheldon, who is rescued from a car crash by his “number one fan,” Annie Wilkes, and wakes up captive in her secluded home.
