George Washington Slept Here |
 September 9 - 12, 16 - 19 & 23 - 26
By Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman.
The story chronicles
the trials and tribulations of Newton Fuller who craves-and gets-"a
little place in the country to call his own." Newton and his wife,
Annabell, and their daughter, Madge, are hypnotized into taking over
one of those windowless, waterless, almost roofless houses that dot
the countryside. The ensuing troubles may be summed up by a search for
water, a quarrel with a neighbor who owns not only the brook but the
very road that leads from the highway to the house, the attempted elopement
of the daughter with a summer-theatre actor, and the usual invasion
of the weekend guests, including a prodigal uncle who is assumed to
be rich but turns out to be just another bankrupt. It is discovered
that the neighbor really doesn't own Newton's roadway, and that Newton's
wife, who began by showing disgust over her husband's idiocy in wanting
to live in the country, decides that he was right all along."
(Appropriate for all ages)

 October 7 - 10, 21 - 24 & 28 - 31
By Frederick Knott
THE STORY: A sinister con man, Roat, and two ex-convicts, Mike
and Carlino, are about to meet their match. They have traced the
location of a mysterious doll, which they are much interested in, to
the Greenwich Village apartment of Sam Hendrix and his blind wife,
Susy. Sam had apparently been persuaded by a strange woman to transport
the doll across the Canadian border, not knowing that sewn inside were
several grams of heroin. When the woman is murdered the situation
becomes more urgent. The con man and his ex-convicts, through a
cleverly constructed deception, convince Susy that the police have
implicated Sam in the woman's murder, and the doll, which she believes
is the key to his innocence, is evidence. She refuses to reveal its
location, and with the help of a young neighbor, figures out she is the
victim of a bizarre charade. But when Roat kills his associates, a
deadly game of cat and mouse ensues between the two. Susy knows the
only way to play fair is by her rules, so when darkness falls she turns
off all the lights leaving both of them to maneuver in the dark until
the game ends. (Recommended for ages 14 and up)
