Coming Feb. 26 - March 14, 2010: The Play's the Thing --P.G. Wodehouse's adaptation of Ferenc Molnar's comic farce. A playwright and his collaborator bring a young composer in love with the leading lady of an upcoming musical to a weekend retreat. The trio overhear the leading lady having a dalliance with another man. The jilted composer vows to kill the production. Overnight, the playwright invents a new story line to save the show -- convincing the playwright what they overheard was actually only a rehearsal of new dialogue for their play. Will the lie work?
