In a drab Manhattan apartment, a sad little man puts on a record (yes, a vinyl record) ... and a gorgeous chorus girl steps out of his refrigerator! The apartment is transformed into a brilliantly-lit stage, and we are magically transported into the original cast recording of The Drowsy Chaperone, an all-but-forgotten Broadway show from the 1920s, when musicals emphasized fun over plot.
The Drowsy Chaperone has it all: star-crossed lovers, pun-slinging gangsters disguised as pastry chefs, an over-the-top Latin lover you will never forget, and of course show-stopping production numbers. The sad little man (now giddy with enthusiasm) acts as our guide throughout the show, and touches our hearts by the play’s end. [ Top]
The Philadelphia Story

Directed
by Jim Weber
Stop the presses! This time it’s LOVE! Philadelphia heiress Tracy Lord plans to downplay her second marriage with a simple mansion wedding, but her brother invites the press to cover the nuptials. Tracy is furious when she realizes it’s a set-up to keep her father and a certain chorus girl out of the gossip columns. Add Tracy’s ex-husband, her precocious little sister, a lecherous Uncle and one moonlight swim to the mix (plus champagne!) – and Tracy’s "morning after" hits her before the wedding! Philip Barry’s fizzy, sophisticated comedy still sparkles like crystal!

Mystery lovers, Agatha Christie lovers, theater lovers ... you are summoned to Monkswell Manor to enjoy the quintessential whodunit: The Mousetrap.
