Wealthy socialite Kathleen Trafalgar and struggling artist/fry cook Harry Baldwin meet because they both want the same vanity license plate PANACHE. After failed negotiations, they find enjoyment in each other’s company and begin spending more and more time together, becoming friends, but emotional baggage and lifestyle clashes disrupt the path to love. There are laughs along the way, thanks to Harry’s pal Jumbo, who teaches Kathleen how to play blackjack, then regrets it when she beats them both. Eventually Harry and Kathleen have to confront the truths about their respective unsatisfying lives and discover they are better people when they are together. Join us for this funny and compelling grown-up love story.

Written in 1987, Stephen King’s psychological horror novel Misery tells the story of Paul Sheldon, a best-selling American author of a series of romance novels set in the nineteenth century, featuring the protagonist Misery Chastain. Paul finds himself in a “situation where he was not just writing for his supper but for his life” when his self-proclaimed “number-one fan”, a middle-aged, former nurse named Annie Wilkes, rescues him from a car accident during a snow storm in Colorado. Annie’s fandom, though, turns out to be a dangerous obsession. Paul fights for his life as Annie’s mania turns more perilous and Paul races to finish the novel Annie has forced him to write, Misery’s Return.

Margaret and Stanley Locker and their friends, Donna and Walter Pace are at the theater for their weekly dose of culture. This week’s ordeal is Hamlet. After they seat themselves with some confusion, the play consists of their incessant and hilarious chatter about themselves, their children, a dead friend and even occasionally Shakespeare’s play.

This is a stage adaptation of the movie about the suicidal 19 year old boy who finally learns how to truly live when he meets that delightfully wacky octogenarian, Maude. Harold is the proverbial poor little rich kid. His alienation has caused him to attempt suicide several times, though these incidents are more cries for attention than actual attempts. His peculiar attachment to Maude, whom he meets at a funeral (a mutual passion) is what saves him and what captivates us.
