Synopsis

Acme celebrates the 50th anniversary of Broadway's longest running musical—an enduring story of love, hope, and life lessons. Two neighboring fathers put up a wall and forbid contact between their son and daughter, ensuring that the two will fall in love. Aided by the mysterious El Gallo, the children declare their love but soon become disillusioned in the light of day. They separate, only to reunite when they realize that all they wanted was each other.

Directed by Dave Sheppard
A hilariously twisted yarn about the Soady men and their escapades at a ramshackle deer camp just before Opening Day of hunting season. Four generations of Soadys have used their little "home away from home" to drink, cause a bit of trouble, and bag bucks. But 45-year old Rueben Soady has never shot a buck. Rueben’s attempts to change his luck instead unleash a series of strange incidents involving UFOs, visions, and other-worldly spirits.

By Michele Lowe
Directed by Michelle Fisher
A deliciously smart and wicked thriller about three unhappy women, faced with both a moral dilemma and a grand opportunity. During a dinner party, Nicky, Debra, and Molly’s inconsiderate, unloving husbands accidentally lock themselves in a meat locker. The frustrated suburban housewives must decide: should they release their insufferable men or let them freeze to death? The play unwinds like a funhouse ride, with dark surprises and unexpected twists and turns.

Production Dates: February 25 - March 19, 2011

Friday and Saturday performances begin at 8PM; Sunday March 13th matinée is at 3PM

Directed by Nancy Curran Willis
This madcap comedy farce centers on George and Charlotte Hay, fading stage actors of the 1950s. They're stuck in Buffalo playing both Private Lives and Cyrano de Bergerac, often on the same day. But when director Frank Capra comes to watch the matinee, everything that can go wrong, must go wrong, and there is not a mistaken identity left undiscovered, a door that is not slammed, nor a running gag allowed any rest.

Production Dates: April 29 - May 21, 2011

Friday and Saturday performances begin at 8PM; Sunday May 15th matinée is at 3PM
