Philip Markham, a publisher of children's books, is asked by his business partner, Henry Lodge, if he can borrow his flat to gallivant with his latest girlfriend. Philip and his wife will be out for the evening and he reluctantly agrees. At the same time, Joanna Markham is being persuaded by Linda Lodge to let her borrow the empty flat to entertain her lover. With some misgivings, Joanna agrees. What nobody knows is that the interior designer who has been decorating the flat for the past three months has decided that this is the night that he and Sylvie, the au pair girl, will try out the new oval bed. When the Markhams' evening out is canceled, it is too late to let any of the parties know and three sets of hopeful lovers converge on the bedroom at the same time. The situation is further complicated by the arrival of Olive Harriet Smythe, a straight-laced authoress of children's books. The frantic efforts of the Markhams to hide the amorous goings-on and, at the same time sign up Miss Smythe, lead the audience on a madcap romp of an evening of laughter and merriment.

Pump Boys and Dinettes

Music and Lyrics by Jim Wann

October 31, November 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9

On Highway 57, somewhere between Frog Level and Smyrna, stands a gas station. Across the blacktop is a roadside eatery called the Double Cupp Diner. The four guys at the station, Jim, Jackson, Eddie and L.M., have been known to do some auto repairs, but only when aided by quantities of time and beer. The Cupp sisters, Prudie and Rhetta, celebrate their home cooking with the same zeal they bring to being neighbourly with the boys. This is their musical tribute to life by the roadside!

FOLLIES

June 12, 13, 14, 19, 20 and 21

Originally entitled The Girls Upstairs, Follies is set in a crumbling Broadway theatre, scheduled for demolition, during a reunion for all the past members of the "Weismann's Follies," a musical revue (based on the Ziegfeld Follies) which played in that theatre between the World Wars. The musical focuses on two couples, Buddy and Sally Durant Plummer and Ben and Phyllis Rogers Stone, who are attending the reunion. Sally and Phyllis were both showgirls in the Follies as were many of the other guests. Both marriages are having problems because Buddy, a traveling salesman, is having an affair with a girl on the road, Sally is still in love with Ben as she was years ago, and Ben is so self-absorbed that Phyllis feels emotionally abandoned.
