All Evening Performances Begin at 8:00 PM. Matiness Begin at 2:00 PM. ROUNDING THIRD by Richard Dresser Directed by Tom Evans October 23-November 9 Don and Michael are two well-meaning dads eager to coach their sons’ Little League team to victory—as soon as they can agree on exactly what that means! Veteran coach Don wants to win at all costs; newcomer Michael just wants the kids to have fun. Stuck together for an entire season, they struggle to resolve their differences and get their team to the championship. This sidesplitting send-up of modern parenting hits a home run with its thought provoking look at raising kids in a world where winning is everything. Hilarious! Solid entertainment. -- Variety MAURITIUS by Theresa Rebeck Directed by Tom Evans December 4-December 21 Stamp collecting is far more risky than you think. After their mother's death, two estranged half-sisters discover a book of rare stamps that may include the crown jewel for collectors. One sister tries to collect on the windfall, while the other resists for sentimental reasons. In this gripping tale, a seemingly simple transaction becomes dangerous when the sister’s world is entered by three seedy, high-stakes collectors, willing to do anything to claim the rare find as their own. The sort of well-made, engrossing and unpretentious play rarely encountered these days. -The Hollywood Reporter BROADWAY GOES TO HOLLYWOOD by Al Balkin January 8-11 Once again, local favorite Al Balkin brings his skills as a musician to the SCRC stage, this time focusing on those gems that made the jump from Broadway stage to the silver screen.
A SKULL IN CONNEMARA by Martin McDonagh Directed by Tom Evans February 5-March 1 Every autumn, Mick Dowd is hired to disinter the bones in certain sections of his local cemetery to make way for the new arrivals. As the time approaches for him to dig up those of his own late wife, strange rumors regarding his involvement in her sudden death seven years ago gradually begin to resurface. This gripping and astonishingly funny tale combines a love of traditional Irish storytelling with the savage ironic humor of the modern generation. Both unexpected and inevitable… a rare gift to theatergoers.- The New York Times To Be Announced March 19-April 5 Directed by Peggy Trecker White We’re still working on securing the rights for the perfect show for this slot in our 17th season.
