“Children’s Theatre”

SNOW WHITE by J. Michael Straczynski

THE STORY: Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? Well, we all know the reply to that, and soon we're caught up in the spell of this enchanting classic. The vain and wicked Queen seeks to destroy her rival in beauty. The Dwarfs are obstinate, generous, mean, kind, and totally appealing. The Prince is a true Prince, sometimes foolish, always brave, and Snow White is as lovely and lovable as legend says.

Rated: G

“Theatre In The Round”

TWELVE ANGRY JURORS adapted by Sherman Sergel-- Based on the Emmy award-winning television movie by Reginald Rose.

THE STORY: A 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. "He doesn't stand a chance," mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and-shut case—until one of the jurors begins opening the others' eyes to the facts. "This is a remarkable thing about democracy," says the foreign-born juror, "that we are notified by mail to come down to this place—and decide on the guilt or innocence of a man; of a man we have not known before. We have nothing to gain or lose by our verdict. We should not make it a personal thing." But personal it does become, with each juror revealing their own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted and a new murder threat is born before their eyes! Tempers get short, arguments grow heated, and the jurors become …angry... The jurors' final verdict and how they reach it—in tense scenes that will electrify… and keep you on the edge of your seat—add up to a fine, mature piece of dramatic literature, an experience.

Rated: PG-13

“Alumni/Student/Community Production”

LOVE, SEX & THE I.R.S. by Billy Van Zandt and Jane Millmore

THE STORY: Here is a wild farce with twists of fate, sight gags, mistaken identities and hilarious comic lines. 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 (by switching Leslie’s sex on the tax form from male to female). The day of reckoning comes when the Internal Revenue Service informs the "couple" they're going to be investigated by a Mr. Spinner. 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. The premiere was at New Jersey's Dam Site Dinner Theatre.

"Enough comic lines to fill an encyclopedia of humor." Red Bank Register.

The Asbury Park Press warned the diner to eat carefully before curtain time or "he might laugh enough to choke if he does not."

Rated: PG-13
