Proposals - June A Comedy by Neil Simon Directed by: Christine Klemstine	It's Neil Simon's newest play and some say his best work ever. Two broken families reunite and intertwine in one brief but infinitely memorable summer in the Poconos of the early 1950s. "Proposals" presents us with a poignant, yet often hilarious look at the wistful beauty of summer's end and the significance of love's hopeful beginnings and powerful endings. Simon reminds us of the offers we make and accept and the power they have to change our lives. This is Simon's legendary wit and wisdom at its best!

Grease! - July A Musical by Jacobs and Casey Directed by: Anita Pro Jacobs Music Direction by: Laurie Richards Choreographed by: Cindy L. Heur	Originally staged as a five-hour amateur production in a Chicago trolley barn, Grease took a satirical look at the dress, manners, morals, and music of teenagers at the beginning of the rock and roll era. The plot revolves primarily around the attraction between greaser Danny Zuko and the virtuous Sandy Dumbrowski. The show spawned such musical hits as "Summer Nights," "Greased Lightning," and "Beauty School Dropout."

Fools - August A Comedy by Neil Simon Directed by: Brad Dell	A young teacher, Leon Tolchinsky, has landed a job in a small hamlet, which has been cursed with chronic stupidity for 200 years, and Leon's job is to break the curse. However, no one has told him that if he stays for more than 24 hours he becomes stupid too. Unfortunately Leon has fallen in love with a girl so stupid she has just recently learned to sit down. Is there a happy ending?

The Jungle Book A Play by Joseph Robinette Directed by: Brad Dell	Interspersed with the classic adventure of Mowgli, is the equally intriguing story of young Rudyard Kipling, who is sent from his home in Bombay to a British boarding school. There he encounters his own “jungle,” including people who parallel many of his animal creations.

Return to Neverland A Play by Michael Brownlee Directed by: Laura Wurzell	There is trouble in The Neverland. Captain Hook has traded in his pirate clothes for a suit and tie and now he wants to sell The Neverland to make it into a parking lot. But with the Lost Boys all grown up, who will help Peter and Tink save the day? Wendy? She's grown up, too. But Wendy has a daughter, Jane, and if Peter can convince her to come back with him, they might be able to save The Neverland and even have a little fun along the way.

Snow White A Play by Tim Kelly Directed by: Kate O'Halloran	All our old friends are here-the lovely Princess, the mischievous dwarfs, (Sarge, Gabby, Gloomy Gus, Ticklish, Spritely, Snore, and Slowpoke), the Prince, the Huntsman, and the evil Queen. But wait until you meet the hilarious palace Cat, the Enchanted Vixen, and the Magic Mirror!

King Arthur's Calamity A Play by William Brohaugh & Dennis Chapman Directed by: Ryan Washabaugh	The place is Camelot just before Arthur becomes king. The old Queen wants to retire, and commands the bumbling but wise wizard Merlin to devise a way to find a good and worthy successor. Thus begins the timeless tale of the sword in the stone, as the valiant page-boy Arthur battles the Earl of Nasty and sword fights his way to become King. This laugh-a-minute adaptation of the greatest legend ever told is sure to delight audiences of all ages!.
