THE PLAYS:
Noël Coward's Waiting in the Wings
Production Dates:  June 19, 20, 21;  July 3, 4, 5,  2009

This was Coward's penultimate play and is like a Valentine's gift to the many aging theatrical grande dames who were among his dearest friends.  The cast includes ten (Count them!  TEN!) spirited, comic, cantankerous, loveable, and very theatrical ladies, from sixty-eight to eighty-five, as they fight to preserve "The Wings", their charity-funded home for retired actresses--and to resolve an ancient romantic rivalry.

Reading copies may be available from your public library in: Play Parade (call number 822COW or PR6005 .O85 P52)Plays : Five / Noel Coward (call number PR6005 .O85 A19)

Roles available: 

Women:    Seven are from late sixties to eighty-five (actors over forty)

One is forty-ish, One is thirty-ish, One is mid twenties

(The roles of May, Lotta, Sarita and Miss Archie have been filled.)
Men:          One is elderly

Three are from thirty to late forties
Tom Stoppard's Heroes (translated from the play by Gérald Sibleyras)

Production dates: 
June 26, 27, 28;  July 10, 11, 12, 2009

This delicious, almost indescribable piece has hints of Waiting for Godot, a soupcon of The Sunshine Boys and just a whiff of Peter Pan's refusal to accept aging.  Henri, Gustave and Philippe are lively old comrades from WWI in a French home for retired veterans.  They plot their escape to Indochina!  (Or at least to those poplar trees waving gently on the hill at the horizon.)   Funny, whimsical, and filled with Stoppard's wit and scintillating dialogue, Heroes is a real gem.

Roles:  Three elderly men (actors over forty)
