"Baby
with the Bathwater"
a satire by
Christopher Durang
Directed by Eric C. Skiles
Helen and John gaze proudly at their new offspring, a bit
disappointed that it doesn't speak English and too polite to
check its gender. So they decide that the child is a girl and
name it Daisy—which leads to all manner of future emotional and
personality problems when it turns out that Daisy is actually a
boy. In the end the play comes full circle as the former Daisy
and his young bride fondly regard their own baby—forgiving of
the past but determined not to repeat its calamitous mistakes.

"Wind
in the Willows"
by Kenneth Grahame
adapted by Alan Bennett
Directed by Eric C. Skiles
This charming children's play reveals the struggle between the
noisy, common way of life and the quiet and genteel. The "Wild-Wooders",
including the stoats and the weasels, epitomize the former,
while the "River-Bankers", including Badger, Mole, Rat,
represent the latter. Poor Toad is the lovable rebel who does
not fit well into either camp.
Casting: 12 roles (with doubling)
Auditions: April 24 -25 @ 6 pm - Performing Arts Theatre
Show Dates: May 17 -18 @ 9 am & 11 am,
