The place is the Deep South, the time 1948, just prior to the civil rights movement. Having recently demolished another car, Daisy Wertham, a rich, sharp-tongued Jewish widow of seventy-two, is informed by her son, Boolie, that henceforth she must rely on the services of a chauffeur. The person he hires for the job is a thoughtful, unemployed black man, Hoke, whom Miss Daisy immediately regards with disdain and who, in turn, is not impressed with his employer's patronizing tone and, he believes, her latent prejudice. But, in a series of absorbing scenes spanning twenty-five years, the two, despite their mutual differences, grow ever closer to, and more dependent on, each other, until, eventually, they become almost a couple. |

The summer heated up with the Theatre Guild's production of- GUYS & DOLLS, which is based on "The Idyll Of Miss Sarah Brown", a short story by Damon Runyon, with the music and lyrics written by Frank Loesser. The story line centers on a group of small-time gamblers and the ladies in their lives. Nathan Detroit bets his pal, Sky Masterson, that he can’t make the next lady he sees fall in love with him. When the next lady turns out to be the prim and proper neighborhood missionary Sarah Brown, the stage was set for an evening of high-spirited entertainment. |

The season began in February with Mary Chase’s classic HARVEY. This Pulitzer prize-winning play has delighted audiences both young and old for years. The story follows eccentric Elwood P. Dowd as he attempts to introduce everyone to his friend, Harvey, a six-and-a-half-foot rabbit that only Elwood can see. His behavior prompts his family to consider committing Elwood to a sanitorium. As the comedy escalates the audience realizes that Elwood’s strange "delusion" has had an effect on everyone. |

Based on the popular literary series of Barbara Parks, this fun-filled musical follows young Junie B., a precocious kindergartener, as she faces the "horrible worseness" of Mom bringing home a new baby. But then things get even worse: "Mrs", (Junie’s teacher) assigns show & tell and Junie B. can’t help shooting off her big mouth about how hers is going to be the "bestest" in the whole class! With song, dance and comedy we follow Junie and her friends, parents and family thru gentle lessons and love. |
