LAST GAS
by John Cariani
Director: Sally Wood
1st rehearsal: 10/12/10. Runs: 11/2 – 11/21/10
Nat Paradis is stuck in a rut as the manager of LAST GAS, a convenience store in northern Maine that sits on the edge of what’s wild and what’s not. When an old flame returns to town, Nat gets another chance, but faces a choice between the possibilities of new love and old in this bittersweet, romantic comedy that looks at love lost... and found... and the curve balls life throws us. A new play from Maine playwright and award-winning actor, John Cariani, the author of Almost, Maine.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL
an adaptation from the original by Charles Dickens

2 PIANOS 4 HANDS
by Ted Dykstra & Richard Greenblatt
Director: TBA
1st rehearsal: 1/6/11. Runs: 1/25 – 2/20/11
As children, Ted and Richard don’t have much in common – except for the shared desire to become classical pianists. But does either of them have what it takes? 2 Pianos 4 Hands is a play with music that follows the dynamic and comical journey of two boys into adulthood, their musical aspirations gleaming like the grand pianos that they play masterfully on stage from beginning to end.
All roles have been CAST. Actors may be considered for possible replacements if needed.
