From the Mistress of Suspense! Leonard Vole is arrested for the murder of a wealthy older widow, named Emily French.
Since Mrs. French made him her principal heir, not aware that he was a married man, things look bad for Leonard's defense. But the final blow comes when his wife, Romaine, agrees to testify, not in Leonard's defense, but as a witness for the prosecution.
Can he escape the hangman’s noose?

Directed by David W. Mitchell

Their Aunt Becky’s mental lapses and multiple personalities have caused them to find safer arrangements for her.
Randy realizes that he and Sherman are the last of their line. One of them MUST have a child to carry on the family name. Randy is physically unable; so he coerces Sherman into fulfilling this duty. However, Sherman has a rare physical abnormality and he will require chemical assistance
Enter Alice Perkins. She wants a baby, and the brothers need one. The result is hilarious chaos!
May 8 – May 24 Play On!
By Rick Abbott
Directed by Larry Lewis
Play on! is the hilarious story of a theater group trying desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interference from a haughty author who keeps revising the script.
Act I is a rehearsal of the dreadful show, Act II is the near disastrous dress rehearsal, and the final act is the actual performance in which anything that can go wrong does.
When the author decides to give a speech on the state of the modern theatre during the curtain calls, the audience is treated to a madcap climax to a thoroughly hilarious romp.
Even the sound effects reap their share of laughter.

All An Act’s Footlights Theatre Program Presents
Our Town by Thorton Wilder
Directed by KC McCloskey
"No play ever moved me so deeply." —Alexander Woolcott, The New Yorker
An irrefutable classic of the American theatre. A work of humanity and warmth. Our Town transports us to Grover’s Corners, a place of secret wishes and disappointments, loves and losses, where the people we encounter are shockingly like the ones in our own lives. Meet Emily and George. They’ve grown up together in their small New England town, falling in love in a surprisingly complicated way. Their lives provide the lens through which the story is told, a story that focuses on a village but encompasses the eternal, finding the world in a grain of sand.
Aug 21 – Sept 13 Inherit The Wind
By Jerome Lawrence & Robert E. Lee’s
Directed by KC McCloskey
Inherit The Wind has as its genesis in the events of the famous Scopes trial.
One of the most outstanding dramas of our time. "The portrait it draws of an explosive episode in American culture, vigorously written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, remains as fresh as it ever was.
“One of the most stirring plays in recent years retains its folk flavor and spiritual awareness in an Arena Stage production. Bursting with vitality…Literature of the stage!" —NY
