2024 SEASON
John Loves Mary
January 25 - March 2, 2024
by Norman Krasna
Directed by Diedra Celeste Miranda
One of the most charming and romantic 1940’s era comedies of all time. After four long years apart, there are so many things returning World War II soldier John Lawrence wants to tell his sweetheart, Mary McKinley. That he loves her. That he's missed her. That he's married! It’s a tale of a G.I. whose good deed — marrying his buddy Fred’s British girl Lily so she can come to America — goes awry. John plans to get a quick divorce from Lily and deliver her to Fred as a surprise, then marry Mary. All the while Mary’s unsuspecting parents begin planning her immediate wedding to John. The plot will keep you guessing through delightful twist after hilarious turn…until someone finally tells the truth! This Broadway hit was made into a popular Hollywood movie starring Ronald Reagan and Patricia Neal. An airy, witty, nostalgic romp.
Staged with in-the-round seating.
