Presented by Fairfield Footlighters
Feb. 17-26
Fairfield

Unger and Madison are at it again! Florence Unger and Olive Madison, that is, in Neil Simon’s hilarious contemporary comic classic: the female version of The Odd Couple. Instead of the poker party that begins the original version, Ms. Madison has invited the girls over for an evening of Trivial Pursuit. The Pidgeon sisters have been replaced by the two Constanzuela brothers. But the hilarity remains the same.

Directed by Tom Hanson

Cast: April Osborne as Sylvie, Teresa Riestenberg as Mickey, Joan Kirsch as Renee, Peggy Allen as Vera, Renee Marie as Olive Madison, Heidi Schiller as Florence Unger, Dan Schindler as Manolo Costazuela & Kevin Noll as Jesus Costazuela

THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER
Presented by Fairfield Footlighters
Dec. 2-10
Fairfield

The Herdmans are the meanest kids in town. They lie, steal, smoke and cuss. Teachers pass the kids on to the next grade because inevitably another Herdman will be coming into their class. There were six Herdmans – Ralph, Imogene, Leroy, Claude, Ollie and Gladys. Their father had disappeared when Gladys was two and their mom worked double shifts at the shoe factory and was never home. The Herdmans were bullies and did whatever they wanted. So, it surprised the town when they showed up one day to Sunday school. Charlie told Leroy Herdman that they could get free food if they showed up at Sunday school – never thinking they would come. But they did, the Herdmans decided to come the day that the Christmas pageant parts were being assigned and they end up taking over the pageant. But in the end the whole Church learns the true meaning of Christmas – including the Herdmans!

THE LAST TRAIN TO NIBROC
Presented by Fairfield Footlighters
Nov. 11-20
Fairfield 

Set between 1940-1943, “Nibroc” begins aboard a train with the chance encounter between a recently discharged soldier named Raleigh and a young schoolteacher named May. The strangers on a train discover they hale from the same part of Kentucky and begin to fall for each other.

Raleigh, who was discharged from the Army because he suffers from epilepsy, is intent on moving to New York to become a writer. May, who has a burning desire to help others, is preparing for missionary work abroad. Their dreams seem to point in opposite directions, as do their temperaments.

Raleigh, with a gentle sense of humor and a tolerance for other people’s faults is extremely sensitive about his own. His easily hurt pride is a stumbling block in his courtship of May, whose generous spirit is tempered by a judgmental streak stemming from her sheltered life.

Directed by Patricia Davis and produced by John Vanderplough

Cast: Elizabeth McDonough as May& Chris Server as Raleigh
