Current Season

George and Charlotte Hay, once dazzling stars of the stage are about to be has-beens. When their limping repertory company ends up in Buffalo, they receive a lifeline when legendary movie director Frank Capra calls out of the blue. Capra is coming to their matinee to consider them for a role in his next big project. But their shot at stardom is, well, a little complicated. There's George's roving eye, Charlotte's flirtation with the family lawyer, their daughter's clueless fiancé, and a doddering stage manager who happens to be Charlotte's aging mother. Comedy legend Carol Burnett struck comedy gold on Broadway with this madcap backstage romp. You won't want to miss it!

Having found each other in the tumult of World War II, young Kentuckians May and Raleigh fall in love and are married.  The year now is 1953 and the two find a haven in booming post-war Florida. Here they settle to nurture their individual dreams and the ones they share.  But their paradise is upended as relatives descend and the turbulent events of the outside world come closer to the door. Their comfortable life threatened, and their love tested to the breaking point, the two may have to make some unconventional decisions to weather the storm. This moving and comic portrait of midcentury America entertains and shows that the "good old days" were not as simple as we may think.
