Time & Time Again
by Alan Ayckbourn | directed by Shirley Fitch
February 29th - March 16th, 1996
The suburban house of the Bakers' adjoins a recreation field, which is useful since football and cricket play a large part in the story. Peter, who works for Graham, brings his fiancee to the house and Graham, as usual, makes a bee-line for her. However, it is Mrs. Baker's brother, Leonard, to whom Joan strays. Leonard, poetic, a fumbler, who moons around holding conversations with the garden gnome, has always roused the bullying Graham's malice and scorn, who is horrified when he catches the younger man very much with Joan.

See How They Run
by Philip King | directed by Jeannie Burgess
July, 1996
A classic English farce, written (and set) in rural England in World War 2.
Vicar's wife and former actress Penelope Toop is already disapproved of by village matriarch Miss Skillon. Things get worse when she is visited by Clive, a friend from the stage and now in the army, who finds himself having to borrow her husband's spare vicar's outfit. When an escaped German POW steal's the real vicar's clothes and another vicar and a bishop come to visit, the scene is set for a fast-paced farce of jealousy and mistaken identity, with a drunk and love-starved Miss Skillon adding to the confusion. It seems that only the teenage maid Ida can save the day.

Night Watch
by Lucille fletcher | directed by tom Naughton
May 9th - 25th, 1996
Unable to sleep, Elaine Wheeler paces the living room of her Manhattan townhouse, troubled by unsettling memories and vague fears. Her husband tries to comfort her, but when he steps away for a moment Elaine screams as she sees (or believes she sees) the body of a dead man in the window across the way. The police are called, but find nothing except an empty chair. Elaine’s terror grows as shortly thereafter she sees still another body—this time a woman’s—but by now the police are skeptical and pay no heed to her frantic pleas. Her husband, claiming that Elaine may be on the verge of a breakdown, calls in a lady psychiatrist, who agrees with his suggestion that Elaine should commit herself to a sanitarium for treatment.
