This is a regional premiere of a comedy by Kentucky author, Elizabeth Orndorff

When Charlie McConnell takes his wife on a 30th anniversary trip to Northern Ireland, he thinks he’s killing two birds with one stone: conduct a little business in trying to secure Carrickfergus as the Sister City to Sharonville, Oh, where he is mayor, and alsogive his wife the trip to Ireland she has always wanted.

Dial M for Murder
Directors: Mary Benken and Gregory Charles Vaughn
Show dates Feb. 13, 1 4, 15, 20, 21

A classic mystery. Tony Wendice has married his wife, Margot, for her money and plans to murder her for the same reason. He arranges the perfect murder. He blackmails a scoundrel he used to know into strangling her, and arranges a brilliant alibi for himself. But the murderer gets murdered and the victim survives, only to be charged with murder herself! Luckily, the police inspector and a young man are willing to search for the truth.

The Whales of August
Directed by Gregg Robertson
Show dates April 17, 18, 19,24, 25

A charming drama. Elizabeth Strong, the eldest of two widowed sisters and Sarah Walker, much younger and still incurably romantic, face the challenges that life brings. Wistful and autumnal in mood, the two have come to decisions which are both momentous and filled with the bittersweet recognition that their lives, despite the alterations of time, continue on and they must find their own joys.
