THE ELEPHANT MAN
By Bernard Pomerance
CLOSED
This is the true story of a man whose body is hideously deformed, but within is a remarkably
sensitive and intelligent being. Merrick is exploited by Victorian society and philanthropy. He is
befriended by an ambitious and brilliant young surgeon who looks after him in his last few
years finding him a home in a London hospital where the lovable freak's presence is shrewdly
used for fund raising. Merrick is introduced to high society, becoming dependent on the
success his deformity brings him. A well known actress tries to ease his sexual loneliness, but
her efforts are thwarted by hypocrisy. Even those who love him can't help him and ultimately
he dies from his horrible affliction. The Elephant Man kicked off the 2009 - 2010
season.Directed by Rainee Angles.

THE FOREIGNER
By Larry Shue
March 5 – 7, 2010
The scene is a fishing lodge in rural Georgia often visited by "Froggy" LeSeuer, a British
demolition expert who occasionally runs training sessions at a nearby army base. This time
"Froggy" has brought along a friend, a pathologically shy young man named Charlie who is
overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. So "Froggy," before
departing, tells all assembled that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no
English. Once alone the fun really begins, as Charlie overhears more than he should—the evil
plans of a sinister, two-faced minister and his redneck associate; the fact that the minister's
pretty fiancée is pregnant; and many other damaging revelations made with the thought that
Charlie doesn't understand a word being said. That he does fuels the nonstop hilarity of the
play and sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously awry for the "bad
guys," and the "good guys" emerge triumphant. The Foreigner plays March 5 & 6 at 7:30 p.m.
and again on March 7 at 3:30 p.m. Directed by Rainee Angles.

THE UNDERPANTS
By Carl Sternheim Adapted by Steve Martin
August 6 – 8, 2010
The renowned comic actor provides a wild satire adapted from the classic German play about
Louise and Theo Markes, a couple whose conservative existence is shattered when Louise's
bloomers fall down in public. Though she pulls them up quickly, he thinks the incident will
cost him his job as a government clerk. Louise's momentary display does not result in the
feared scandal but it does attract two infatuated men, each of whom wants to rent the spare
room in the Markes' home. Oblivious of their amorous objectives, Theo splits the room
between them, happy to collect rent from both the foppish poet and the whiny hypochondriac.
The Underpants runs August 6 & 7 at 7:30 p.m. and as a matinee on August 8 at 3:30 p.m.
Directed by Rainee Angles.
