Barefoot in the Park
by Neil Simon
A Main Stage Production in Belk Centrum October 3 - 7, 2007

       Corie and Paul Bratter just spent six honeymoon nights at the Plaza Hotel.  Today they come home to their Manhattan Brownstone to start the rest of their perfect married life – except the apartment is tiny, there’s a hole in the ceiling, the neighbors are crazy, the furniture’s late, the heat doesn’t work, and it’s all happening six flights up.   
       Who knew marriage could be such bliss?

Talking With... by Jane Martin
A Studio Production in Belk Centrum November 9 - 11, 2007

       Eleven characters speaking from the gut, sharing stories, just talking.  Meet a snake handler, a grieving daughter, a twirler for Jesus, a McDonalds fan, a busted rodeo cowgirl, a tattooed woman, an actress down on her luck, and a woman in the twilight of her years.   
       Poignant, hilarious, eccentric, and unsettling. 

The Diary of Anne Frank
by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, adapted by Wendy Kesselman
A Main Stage Production in Belk Centrum February 20 - 24, 2008

       On July 6, 1942 a family went into hiding.  In an annex hidden from the world, a teenage girl wrote to quell her fears, pass the days, and make sense of life.  In 1947, her diary was published.  Now, she reaches across decades.
       It’s a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.  Anne Frank, July 15, 1944

A Studio Production in Belk Centrum April 18 - 20, 2008

       In the beginning ... and the battle of the sexes begin.
