The Phantom: A Drama in Two Acts
By Dion Boucicault
Directed by: Richard Sautter
A bloodsucking good time! Who is the mysterious figure lurking around the moors? Why are people disappearing from the ruins of Raby Castle? What fiendish hypnosis is enchanting the village? These questions lie at the heart of The Phantom, a vampire thriller from 1856. Written by one of the 19th-century’s most popular playwrights, The Phantom is a true melodrama, combining action and humor as it spins its tale of a bloodsucking demon and the pure-hearted youths who try to stop it. Good, old-fashioned fun.

"EMPATHY," from Suicide - Anyone?
By John Patrick
Directed by: Brooke Hutchins
Suicide - Anyone? is a collection of 3 one-act plays by John Patrick. In "EMPATHY," a frustrated young would-be actress tries, unsuccessfully, to hang herself, only to be interrupted first by a house painter (who manages to be eternally sunny despite some monumental problems of his own), and then by a TV repairman (who is also a pre-med student-and much taken with his young customer). Will the intrusion of these two strangers change her mind?

A Year with Frog and Toad
Book and Lyrics by Willie Reale
Music by Robert Reale
Based on the books by Arnold Lobel
Directed by Valerie Rae Smith
A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD is a family-friendly musical based on Arnold Lobel's well-loved children's book characters. The musical was conceived by Mr. Lobel's daughter, Adrianne Lobel, and remains true to the spirit of the original stories as it follows two great friends, the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad through four fun-filled seasons. Waking from hibernation in the spring, they proceed to plant gardens, swim, rake leaves and go sledding, learning life lessons along the way, including a most important one about friendship and rejoicing in the attributes that make each of us different and special. Rated: G.

The Fantasticks
Music by Harvey Schmidt
Lyrics by Tom Jones
Directed by Edward R. Cohn
This will be our first show in the new Poorman Black Box Theater
The Fantasticks tells the story of a young boy and girl who fall madly in love at the hands of their meddling fathers, but soon grow restless and stray from one another. Will their separation provide a deeper appreciation for the love they once shared—or create a permanent gulf between them? The Fantasticks is a quintessential celebration of love in all its gorgeous simplicity and heartbreaking complexities. The Fantasticks, which originally opened at New York's Sullivan Street Playhouse in 1960, and played 17,162 performances before closing in 2002, is the world's longest-running musical and includes the beloved songs "Try to Remember," "Soon It's Gonna Rain" and many more. If you've never seen this classic romantic fable—or if you've seen and loved it—now is the time to fall under the spell of The Fantasticks again.
