OLRC 2009 Season

 

Euphoric joy and laughter have been the consistent response to this comedy since it was voted the Best New American Play by the Outer Critics Circle more than 20 years ago. Its simple premise has Charlie, a jilted husband, hiding out in a Georgia inn, pretending no knowledge of English. Soon, he knows everyone's secrets, and when a mentally challenged resident with good intentions attempts to "teach" him English, the results are sidesplitting hilarity.

 

 

 

The musical that has entertained three generations needs no introduction. Join us for a kite-crashing romp with Charlie Brown and his friends Lucy, Linus, Schroeder, Snoopy, and Charlie's sister Sally in this revised version of their madcap, angst-ridden childhood. This is entertainment for the whole family.

 

This perennial favorite of the British stage, dubbed "A Trivial Comedy for Serious People" by the author himself, has not been performed on the summer stage for more than 20 seasons. This time, our production employs the quirky and farcical tradition of casting one of the most famous characters of the English stage, Lady Bracknell, with a man.
