The Merry Wives of Windsor

By William Shakespeare, Directed by Aili Huber

June 2nd - June 26th, 2022, Thursday - Sunday

​

Some appetites never go out of style.

​

The pursuit of money is bound to backfire when the targets are smarter than their gold-digging schemer. Falstaff’s dubious plan to woo Windsor’s wealthy housewives is met with hilarious retaliation, when the ladies devise a plot to teach him a lesson he won’t soon forget. The comedic comeuppance is an absolute treat in Shakespeare’s delightful comedy on love, money, deception, and the wiles of women.

​

She Stoops to Conquer

By Oliver Goldsmith, Directed by James Ricks

July 7th - July 31st, 2022, Thursday - Sunday

​

Pranks and hijinks abound in this raucous 18th- century comedy of big costumes, big hair, and even bigger laughs. Two well-bred young men arrive at the country estate of Mr. Hardcastle, intending to woo his daughter Kate and her cousin Constance, but when local mischief-maker Tony Lumpkin plays a practical joke on the city slickers, the Hardcastle household is launched into a dizzying, deliciously preposterous romp of mistaken identity.

​

First published in 1771, She Stoops to Conquer has been a staple of theatres around the world since its first performance.
