- See How They Run, February 25 & 26 – 7PM; February 27 – 2PM: See How They Run is a fast action comedy with a rib tickling plot that has left audiences exhausted from laughter at its finish as though they had run a foot race. Galloping in and out of the four doors of an English vicarage are an American actor who is now stationed with the air force in England and an actress who is now married to the vicar. As these two old friends reunite for a night of innocent fun, the real excitement begins. Also present are a Cockney maid who has seen too many American movies and a nosy “old maid” who has secret romantic feelings for the vicar, and who unintentionally “touches alcohol for the first time in her life.” Added to the mix are four men in clergyman suits, one being a disguised escaped prisoner, and another being a sedate Bishop aghast at all these goings on and the outlandish stories they tell him. Mass confusion leads to a game of “will the real vicar please stand up?! All seats reserved seating $10, all ages
- Table Manners June 24 & 25 – 7PM; June 26 – 2PM: As a part of The Norman Conquest trilogy, Table Manners is set in the dining room of the rundown family home of three siblings whose crumbling family foundations are held together by Annie, the sister who has never married and remains at home to take care of a their elderly bedridden mother. The plot centers around a family reunion of sorts as other siblings and their spouses arrive at the family manse on a July weekend to stay with mother, giving Annie a chance to escape for a long-needed rest. Fireworks begin when Annie secretly tells sister-in-law Sarah that she has arranged to spend the weekend with her sister Ruth’s husband, Norman. This bit of secret knowledge sets the tone as this extended family, who simultaneously despise and can’t get enough of each other, sits down together for meals around the dining table during the weekend. An unlikely candidate for any kind of romantic interlude, Norman just wants to be needed-by anyone. Six more or less unhappy characters then proceed to unfold the family dynamics around the dinner table. Although Emily Post would be horrified, audiences will find themselves wanting a second helping of this wildly comic and sometimes poignant family reunion. All seats reserved seating $10, all ages
- Unnecessary Farce October 21 & 22 – 7PM; October 23 – 2PM: 2 cops, 3 crooks, eight doors-GO! In a cheap motel room an embezzling mayor is meeting a female accountant, while in the room next door, two undercover cops wait to catch the meeting on videotape. There is much confusion as to who’s in which room, who’s being videotaped, who’s taken the money, who’s hired a hit man, and why the accountant keeps disrobing! In this romantic and action packed escapade, the situation is even more confused by a loopy video camera, a conflicted body guard, and the Scottish hit man who is renowned for his “death by bagpipes”. Fast moving fun! All seats reserved seating $10, all ages
We hope you’ll join us here at the Plaza for these wonderful performances by the Far Off Broadway Players! And a pair of tickets to each show would make a great stocking stuffer for Christmas this year!
