The greatest play of the Twentieth Century returns to the CSC stage for the first time in over a decade! In a vaudeville of cosmic proportions, the two loveably hapless vagrants, Gogo and Didi, grapple with the mysteries of the universe, trading barbs and banter as they await the arrival of the eternally truant Godot. A profound comedy punctuated with instants of dread, WAITING FOR GODOT is an exquisite evening of theatre not to be missed.

Escape to the wilds of Colorado as a guest of The Peaceful Valley Ski Lodge. Three best friends whose families dumped them at the Happy Hollow Nursing Home will be joining you. Even though their families think they are too old to have fun, they are just getting started in life as hilarity and spite lead them from one adventure to another. You will be in stitches as you witness the chaos that three little old ladies create. Games, entertainment and slap-your-mama good food await you. But whatever you do, don’t venture too far from the warmth and security of the lodge after dark. You never know what lurks in the valley or snow-covered slopes.

PUMP BOYS AND DINETTES
Presented by La Comedia Dinner Theatre
Jan. 15-March 1
Springboro
On Highway 57, somewhere between Frog Level and Smyrna, stands a gas station. Across the blacktop is a roadside eatery called the Double Cupp Diner. The four guys at the station, Jim, Jackson, Eddie and L.M., have been known to do some auto repairs, but only when aided by quantities of time and beer. The Cupp sisters, Prudie and Rhetta, celebrate their home cooking with the same zeal they bring to being neighbourly with the boys. This is their musical tribute to life by the roadside!
