| | Picnic
by William Inge
It is Labour Day, and everyone is preparing for a neighborhood picnic! Into the fold comes a stranger and emotions are ignited among the townsfolk. Blending strong drama with moments of bright comedy, this eloquent Pulitzer Prize winning play explores the lives of "ordinary" Mid-Western Americans, from hopeful widows and an embittered spinster to idealistic teenagers and a restless wanderer. The play was first performed on Broadway in 1953 and was adapted into a successful movie in 1955, starring William Holden and Kim Novak.

| | Enchanted April
by Matthew Barber
from the novel by Elizabeth von Arnim
"To those who appreciate wisteria and sunshine… and who have ever hoped, on occasion, that a little Enchantment might step in…"
Set in 1922 London, Enchanted April is a charming comedy about four women who find their lives at a cross-roads. Leaving behind their inattentive husbands and humdrum lives, they embark on a spur-of-themoment, month long escape to a rented castle in Genoa, and dare to let a little Enchantment step in. What they get is much more than they expected, and the result is a beautiful experience that the LA Times calls a 'rarity, a play where every single element falls perfectly into place – a show that leaves you positively glowing.'

| | The Mumberley Inheritance
by Warren Graves
What fun it is to boo and hiss as the piano player goes wild in this fast paced entertaining romp. This music-filled madcap melodramatic comedy in the Victorian tradition not only comes complete with the dastardly villain, the virtuous damsel in distress, and the hero who saves the day, but also provides ample opportunity for audience interaction. This winner of the Samuel French Challenge Award for "Best Canadian Production" is a proven crowd pleaser.

| | Key for Two
by John Chapman and Dave Freeman
Harriet, a divorcée living in an elegant flat in Brighton, has financial problems that need tending to. What better way to solve them than to "entertain" two married men simultaneously? ("Not at the same time," She's quick to point out.) Her plan soon begins to hilariously unravel when her friend Anne arrives unexpectedly, in hot pursuit by her drunken husband, followed not soon after by two irate wives looking for their husbands. Written by two masters of British farce, Key for Two is comic magic that you won't want to miss.
