RUN FOR YOUR WIFE
September 8 - October 27, 2024
The story concerns bigamist John Smith, a London cab driver with two wives, two lives and a very precisely planned schedule for juggling them both, with one wife at a home in Streatham and another nearby at a home in Wimbledon.
Trouble brews when Smith is mugged and ends up in hospital, where both of his addresses surface, causing both the Streatham and Wimbledon police to investigate the case. His careful schedule upset, Smith becomes hopelessly entangled in his attempts to explain himself to his two wives and two suspicious police officers, with help from his lazy layabout neighbor upstairs in Wimbledon.
AGING DISGRACEFULLY starring Charlie Hall and Doreen Collins
November 23 Doors: 6pm Show: 7:30pm
Charlie Hall and Doreen Collins have created a new hit show called AGING DISGRACEFULLY. It's a mix of stand-up, song, satire and skits on the perks and pitfalls of getting old. From botox to bifocals to bingo, this dynamic duo- both members of the RI Comedy Hall of Fame- covers it all in this very interactive 75 min comedy cabaret. Coupled with the Newport Playhouse pub menu this is a great night out for the fun-after-fifty set. And frankly the fun-BEFORE-fifty set too! Recent winner of a BEST OF RI award!
LEND ME A SAPRANO
November 10 - December 31, 2024
It's 1934, and the clever and combustible Lucille Wiley, Manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, is ready to welcome world-class soprano Elena Firenzi for her one-night-only starring role in Carmen. Alas, Elena arrives late, her impassioned husband Pasquale has a fit of jealousy, and it remains to be seen whether Mrs. Wiley’s mousy but determined assistant Jo can save the day.
Based on Ken Ludwig’s Tony Award-winning Lend Me A Tenor, this this madcap screwball comedy features ladies in the leading roles and is guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter.
THE CEMETERY CLUB
May 29 - June 30 2024
Three Jewish widows meet once a month for tea before going to visit their husbands’ graves. Ida is sweet tempered and ready to begin a new life; Lucille is a feisty embodiment of the girl who just wants to have fun; and Doris is priggish and judgmental, particularly when Sam the butcher enters the scene. He meets the widows while visiting his wife’s grave. Doris and Lucille squash the budding romance between Sam and Ida.
