Onstage Repertory Theatre

“Four Old Broads​​

By Leslie Kimball

Directed by John Allred​

​

May 1st thru 17th​

​​​​

Leslie Kimbell (writer, actor, director, designer (and self-proclaimed drama queen) gained the majority of her insane life experiences and EXTREMELY salty sense of humor, from eighteen years of traveling the world as a top-billed and award-winning burlesque headliner and model. She parlayed that experience, as well as inspiration from her “sassy and Spunky Nannie DeVries and Aunt Sissie” into authoring this very funny play. 


Four sassy senior ladies: Beatrice, Eaddy, Imogene, and Maude need a break from bingo and macramé.  They want to take a SASSY SENIORS Caribbean cruise. Unfortunately, things have not been pleasant at Magnolia Place Assisted Living since nasty nurse Pat came to work there. A MYSTERY unfolds with LAUGHTER as the gals try to outsmart her. 


Throw in a senior citizen beauty pageant, an old Elvis Impersonator, a trashy makeover and a bizarre thigh exerciser incident and you have a laugh a minute evening of theater.

“You Can’t Take It with You​​

By Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman

Directed by Becky Potter​​

​

July 10th thru 26th​

In this Pulitzer Prize winning comedy, the family of Martin Vanderhof lives “just around the corner from Columbia University – but don’t go looking for it.”

 

Grandpa, as Martin is more commonly known, is the paterfamilias of a large and extended family of charming eccentrics. His granddaughter, Alice, is an attractive and loving girl who is still embarrassed by her family’s idiosyncrasies.

 

When Alice falls for her boss, Tony, a handsome scion of Wall Street, she fears that their two families– so unlike in manner, politics, and finances - will never come together. But why be obsessed with money? After all, you can’t take it with you…
