A Comedy on the Main Stage
by HENRY LEWIS, JONATHAN SAYER & HENRY SHIELDS
Welcome to opening night of the Cornley University Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, this Olivier Award–winning comedy is a global phenomenon that’s guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter!

Steel Magnolias meets Caitlyn Jenner: What will Frances, Mary Todd and Janie, intelligent, sociable ladies, do when Sally, the urbane, charming new fourth in their bridge club, discloses she is transgendered? The revelation prods Frances to address painful memories of another episode in her life. Mary Todd, wrestling with personal moral issues, is challenged by her specially abled son J-Pat, who has befriended Sally on his own. Janie’s wisdom and wry wit, fuel her ability to put it all in perspective. The bridge club survives, minus one member. At the end, the three remaining members search for a fourth- again. And J-Pat provides a simple statement of a large lesson learned from all that has transpired.

Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor.
An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.
