Presented by Middletown Lyric Theatre
April 25-May 4
Middletown

Directed by Michael Schlotterbeck

Cast: Tara Williams as Veronica, Jeff Nieman as Michael, Claire LaNicca as Annette & Jim Cronin as Alan

 

A playground altercation between eleven-year-old boys brings together two sets of Brooklyn parents for a meeting to resolve the matter. At first, diplomatic niceties are observed, but as the meeting progresses, and the rum flows, tensions emerge and the gloves come off, leaving the couples with more than just their liberal principles in tatters. This production contains adult language and themes.

How far would you go for your child? For Genevra and Joshua Bradley, the question is no longer hypothetical. Their three-year-old son, Mac, is next on the waiting list to get into the Bright Ideas Early Childhood Development Academy—and everyone knows once you’re in there, your life will unfold with glorious ease. Josh and Gen have had to scramble all their lives to get this far…and now they are one fatal dinner party away from the ultimate success as parents: The Right Pre-School. You may never look at pre-school—or pesto—the same way again…

INSPECTING CAROL runs Dec. 7-15

INSPECTING CAROL
Presented by Middletown Lyric Theatre
Dec. 7-15
Middletown

Directed by Charley Shafor

Cast: Pam Fugett as Zorah Bloch, Joseph Cunningham as Sidney Carlton, Betty Coulter as Dorothy Tree Hapgood, Nathan Greer as Larry Vauxhall, Jeff Smith as Phil Hewitt, Dylan Bolen as Luther Beatty, Kevin L. Craig as Kevin Emery, Patty Bolen as M.J. McMann, Elizabeth Long as Betty Andrews & Jordan Mathews as Wayne Wellacre

A CHRISTMAS CAROL meets THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTOR meets NOISES OFF in this hilarious hit. A man who asks to audition at a small theatre is mistaken for an informer for the National Endowment for the Arts. Everyone caters to the bewildered wannabe actor and he is given a role in the current production, A Christmas Carol. Everything goes wrong and hilarity is piled upon hilarity. (While A Christmas Carol is the catalyst for this show it is NOT performed in its entirety within this play)

  • Fri-Sat, Dec. 6-8 at 8pm
