Our 80th Season

Here's what's coming up next year. It's going to be a great year at TWS. We'll have some terrific plays, as well as some exciting events, so stay tuned.

TWS — CHANGING LIVES FOR EIGHTY YEARS.

On The Mainstage

Mainstage One
September 4-14, 2008

We asked you what you wanted to see next season, and we listened to you. This is the one YOU picked!

In her own inimitable style, the Grand Dame of murder mytery has created an atmosphere of shuddering suspense where murder lurks around every corner. Nearly 23,000 performances in the West End of London and still going strong. Shhhh! Don’t tell the ending!

THE MOUSETRAP
by Agatha Christie


Mainstage Two
October 16-26, 2008

Mediocrity battles genius in this Tony award-winning play. Set amidst the opulence and splendor of 18th century Vienna, Peter Shaffer’s thrilling, and often wickedly funny play shows us the extremes of human ambition and heavenly genius. Amadeus pits the composer with God's gift and the Devil's audacity against the composer with God's pity and the Devil's vengeance.

AMADEUS
by Peter Shaffer


Holiday Show
December 5-14, 2008

Charles Dickens’ classic holiday tale of greed, regret, and redemption comes to our stage reimagined with a delightful score that is sure to put you and your family in the Christmas spirit. Join Ebenezer as he travels through Christmases Past, Present, and Future and right into your heart.

SCROOGE:
THE MUSICAL

Book, Music and Lyrics
by Leslie Bricusse


Mainstage Three
Jan. 22 - Feb. 1, 2009

Four women try to escape from their lives in England for a month in a secluded Castle in Italy. Through twists and unexpected liaisons, they find their vacation to be more than they expected. In the sunshine of Italy, the women experience unexpected and enchanted turns in their otherwise cloudy lives.

THE ENCHANTED APRIL
by Kane Campbell


Mainstage Four
April 16-26, 2009

Hotel Paradiso tells the story of the comic horrors encountered by two neighbors trying to cheat on their spouses at a disreputable French hotel. Their way is soon blocked by a crew of delightfully silly guests who stumble, stagger and sprint through the seedy hotel in a carnival of narrow escapes, slammed doors and mistaken identities.

Amorousness hides in closets, under beds, behind curtains, anywhere that the lover flees on hearing the phrase: "Heavens, it’s my husband!”

HOTEL
PARADISO

by Georges Feydeau & Maurice Desvallieres
Translated by Peter Glenville


Mainstage Five
May 28 - June 7, 2009

We not only gave you your FIRST choice in the balloting, we decided to give you your SECOND choice as well.

This is a rousing comedy about a man trying to get away from a difficult personal life by hiding out in a Southern hunting lodge. THE FOREIGNER is a comic farce complete with surprising plot twists, mistaken identities, evil villains, and innocent damsels. "A Blast of Hilarity" says the Washigton Times.

THE FOREIGNER
by Larry Shue


In the Forum

Forum One
Sept. 25 - Oct.5, 2009

"The lies begin when you lift the pen", is a line that comes up early on in "Fiction", Steven Dietz' witty, literate examination of the secrets we keep from even those we trust the most. Married authors read each others’ diaries and notebooks and discover secret lives. Is it better to die with a secret than to live with one?

FICTION
by Stephen Dietz


Forum Two
February 12-22, 2009

A mystery about a murder in a small town and the community theatre production of Saint Joan that drives its principal actress to try and solve it. Book Of Days gathers up religion, truth, and even Joan of Arc and creates a fascinating play that has facile plots, twists, and turns.

BOOK OF DAYS
by Lanford Wilson
