Rehearsal for Murder :: Opening on Nov 2nd

Tue, 02 Oct 2012 22:45:47 -0400

adapted for the stage by D.D. Brooke
from the television play by
Richard Levinson & William Link
directed by Susie Moak

This thrilling “theatrical” mystery turns our theatre into the set for the play. The playwright turns on the stage work lights and prepares for the first reading of his new play. The actors, producer, director and others connected with the show come onto the stage, and under their humorous (and utterly real) theatrical talk, tension grows. We discover that everyone connected with this play was involved with another play by the same playwright. At its opening night, exactly a year ago and in this same theatre, the beautiful leading lady, was murdered! Rehearsal for Murder runs November 2nd, 3rd, 8th, 9th, 10th at 8pm and Nov 4st at 2pm. Plus, don’t forget to attend our opening night wine and cheese reception on November 2nd at 7:30pm in the downstairs lobby. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors and $5 for students. Please call (302) 368-2248 or e-mail: csp_boxoffice@yahoo.com to book your tickets today! !! Mark Your Calendar !!

The Real Thing :: Opening on Sep 21st

Wed, 26 Sep 2012 15:03:00 -0400

by Tom Stoppard
Directed by J.W. Pukatsch

Tom Stoppard combines his characteristically brilliant wordplay and wit with flashes of insight the illuminate the nature – and mystery – of love, creating a multi-toned play that challenges the mind while searching out the innermost secrets of the heart. A married playwright blurs the line between reality and his dramas on the stage as his personal life unravels before his very eyes. But nothing one sees on a stage is the real thing, and some things are less real than others. Deeply moving and bitingly funny, this drama brilliantly examines the complex nature of love, art and reality.

The Real Thing runs September 21st, 22nd, 27th, 28th, 29th at 8pm and September 23rd at 2pm. Plus, don’t forget to attend our opening night wine and cheese reception on September 21st at 7:30pm in the downstairs lobby. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors and $5 for students. Please call (302) 368-2248 or e-mail csp_boxoffice@yahoo.com to book your tickets today!
