2012 SEASON

	1ST ANNUAL SHORT PLAY FESTIVAL
	June 1 @ 7:30pm
	$5 Admission at the Door
	Come enjoy the opening to our summer season with our Short Play Festival. Opening the evening will be the debut performance of our revitalized Improv Comedy troupe, headed by Joe Roderick. Following a dessert intermission, two one-act plays will be presented:
"Just in Time" directed by Joe Roderick where time traver Skip Skooter McGee on his adventure in time as he finds himself in the 1800's and gets into a very peculiar situation while trying to stay alive and return back home to modern times. "The Actor's Nightmare" directed by Tara Williams. Apparently no one is sure of what play is being performed but George (costumed as Hamlet) is told he must take over. As he fumbles through one missed cue after another the other actors shift to Hamlet, then a play by Samuel Beckett, and then a climactic scene by which time the disconcerted George has lost all sense of contact with his fellow performers.

	NOISES OFF
	June 22-23 @ 7:30pm June 24 @ 2:30pm
	$7 General Admission; $5 Seniors/Kids Under 12
	written by Michael Frayn directed by Kristie Haage
	Called the funniest farce ever written, Noises Off presents a manic menagerie as a cast of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called NOTHING'S ON. Doors slamming, on- and backstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play.

	MONSTERS UNDER THE BED
	July 6 & 7 @ 6:00pm
	Audition Information
	$4 General Admission; $2 Kids Under 12 $10 Combo Ticket with "Robin Hood"
	written by Fr. Dominic Garramone directed by Michele Knott & Mary Ann Kauffman
Stephanie's having a sleep-over with her friends when they are joined by her young cousin Melissa who can't get to sleep because she's afraid of the dark. But soon the monsters come out from under the bed and no one can get to sleep. As each girl describes her own personal fear, those fears come to life as Crumplebump (the funny noises monster), The Final Freak (the math test monster), Big Bad Boom (the thunderstorm monster), and several other terrifying creatures of the night.
"Monsters Under the Bed" is the 2012 Arc Light, Junior selection - designed for young children as their first introduction into the theater. It is presented as part of our youth performance weekend. A special matinee performance is available for summer daycamps and programs; contact Jeff Driscoll for more information.

THE SOMEWHAT TRUE TALE OF ROBIN HOOD

July 6 & 7 @ 7:30pm	$7 General Admission; $5 Seniors/Kids Under 12 $10 Combo Ticket with "Monsters Under the Bed"
Audition Information
written by Mary Lynn Dobson directed by Cheri Semelroth & Cindy Brackett
It sure is hard to be humble when you're a swashbuckling, egocentric super-hero. But our gallant guy-in-green tries his best as he swaggers through The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood, a frantically funny retelling of the classic. This time around, the legendary legend encounters a lovely damsel-in-distress (oddly obsessed with skin conditions); an ever-scheming sheriff who would rather bowl a strike than hit a bull's-eye; and a good-natured "Town's Guy" who manages to make his way into every scene, whether he belongs there or not. Combine them with an expandable band of spoon-wielding Merry Men whose collective IQs equal six, and you've got an irreverent jaunt through Sherwood Forest you won't soon forget!
"The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood" is the 2012 Arc Light, Youth production as the next step for developing young actors. It is presented as part of our youth performance weekend. A special matinee performance is available for summer daycamps and programs; contact Jeff Driscoll for more information.
