"Social Security"

by Andrew Bergman

Directed by Pam Banas & Scott Hamilton

Trendy Manhattan art gallery owners Barbara and David Kahn's lives are upended when her Mineola housewife sister, Trudy, deposits their eccentric mother, Sophie, on the couple's doorstep while she and her husband, Martin, head to Buffalo to rescue their promiscuous daughter. Barbara and David introduce Sophie to suave nonagenarian artist Maurice Koenig, who offers to paint her portrait, and soon begins to brighten her life in ways she never expected in her twilight years.

"​Moonlight And Magnolias"

by Ron Hutchinson

by Anna Marie Johansen

August 21 - September 7

1939 Hollywood is abuzz. Legendary producer David O. Selznick has shut down production of his new epic, Gone with the Wind, a film adaptation of Margaret Mitchell’s novel. The screenplay, you see, just doesn’t work. So what’s an all-powerful movie mogul to do? While fending off the film’s stars, gossip columnists and his own father-in-law, Selznick sends a car for famed screenwriter Ben Hecht and pulls formidable director Victor Fleming from the set of The Wizard of Oz. Summoning both to his office, he locks the doors, closes the shades, and on a diet of bananas and peanuts, the three men labor over five days to fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for one of the most successful and beloved films of all time.

"The Dining Room"

by A.R. Gurney

Directed by Scott Hamilton

October 20 - November 2

The play is set in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household, the place where family assembled daily for breakfast and dinner. The action is a mosaic of interrelated scenes - some funny, some touching, some rueful. Each vignette introduces as a new set of people and events; a father lectures his son on grammar and politics, a senile grandmother doesn't recognize her own sons at Thanksgiving dinner, a daughter, her marriage in shambles, pleads to return home and more. Dovetailing swiftly and smoothly, the varied scenes coalesce, ultimately, into a theatrical experience of exceptional range, compassionate humor and abundant humanity.

"Little Women"

by Louisa May Alcott, adaptation by Kevin Cunningham

Directed by Pam Banas

November 20 - December 7

A story that takes place at Christmastime and follows the lives of the four March sisters: Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy. Set in the nineteenth century United States, the sisters navigate challenges, societal expectations, and their own dreams and aspirations. Amidst wartime struggles, they find strength in each other and their mother, Marmee. The story is based on Louisa May Alcott's life and explores themes of family, love and personal growth.
