Androcles and the Lion Adapted by Aurand Harris
Troy Theater   November 15, 16, 17 at 7:30 p.m. and November 18 at 2 p.m.
In true Commedia dell'Arte tradition, a group of strolling players sets up their stage and gives a performance using authentic staging and stock characters of Commedia -- the miserly Pantalone, the bragging Captain, the romantic Lovers, the trickster Arlequin, plus an endearing Lion. The play skyrockets with zany comedy, catchy songs and glows with the warmth of friendship." The play will be performed in an intimate seating arrangement allowing for plenty of hands-on fun and audience interaction.

By Neil Simon Troy Theater

At a large, tastefully appointed townhouse, the Deputy Mayor of New York has just shot himself. Though only a flesh wound, four couples are about to experience a severe attack of Farce. Gathering for their tenth wedding anniversary, the host lies bleeding in the other room and his wife is nowhere in sight. His lawyer, Ken and wife Chris must get "the story" straight before the other guests arrive. As the confusions and mis-communications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity.
