ABOUT THE SHOWS

"THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG" shows us The Cornley Drama Society as they present their new production, "The Murder at Haversham Manor," an early 1900’s murder mystery.

The members of the society have had a string of bad luck with previous productions and are excited to have finally gotten it right. 

As the show progresses, a multitude of accidents and problems occur that threaten the production, but the actors continue with as much professionalism as possible to ensure the audience’s pleasure.

Directed by Brian Kelly 

Performances:

November 3, 2023 through November 18, 2023

"BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS" is the first play in Neil Simon's semi-autobiographical comedic "Eugene trilogy," which also includes "Biloxi Blues" and "Broadway Bound." 

The story of "BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS" follows almost 15-year-old Eugene Jerome as he grows up in 1937 Brooklyn. 

Eugene learns about girls, family, relationships, and the impending war. 

Eugene makes many witty observations about life and the need for family throughout the play, as he interacts with his passionate, quirky Polish-Jewish relatives.

Directed by Paul Dixon 

Performances:

February 9, 2024 through February 24, 2024

"THE MUSIC MAN"

There’s trouble in River City! 

When smooth-talking con man Harold Hill arrives in a small, tight-knit town in Iowa, he expects to dupe its residents with his elaborate moneymaking scheme: 

Despite his complete lack of musical literacy, he will convince everyone that he is a brilliant bandleader and recruit all the boys in town to form a band, pocketing the cash for instruments and uniforms. 

The problem? 

Some of the town members, especially the stern librarian, Marian Paroo, don’t quite buy Harold’s story. 

As Harold struggles to keep his scheme afloat, he also finds himself increasingly attached to the townspeople, who have all experienced a positive change since Harold came to town. 

Complicating matters even more, Harold is also falling head-over-heels for the beautiful Marian. 

As All-American as apple pie and as charming as can be, "THE MUSIC MAN" is a crowd-pleasing show with a great number and range of roles that is well-suited to professional, community, and school productions alike.

Directed by Paul Murphy

Music Direction by Kathryn Denney 

Performances:

April 26, 2024 through May 11, 2024
