Our 80th Season


Here's what's coming up next year. It's going to be a great year at TWS. We'll have some terrific plays, as well as some exciting events, so stay tuned.

TWS — CHANGING LIVES FOR EIGHTY YEARS.

PLEASE NOTE: Although these will be the shows we will produce during our 2008-2009 season, the order is subject to change. You should also note that there is some question as to whether we will be able to produce The Quiet Man Tales, so there is the possibility of a substitution for Mainstage Four.

On The Mainstage

Mainstage One

We asked you what you wanted to see next season, and we listened to you. This is the one YOU picked!

In her own inimitable style, the Grand Dame of murder mytery has created an atmosphere of shuddering suspense where murder lurks around every corner. Nearly 23,000 performances in the West End of London and still going strong. Shhhh! Don’t tell the ending!

THE MOUSETRAP
by Agatha Christie


Mainstage Two

Mediocrity battles genius in this Tony award-winning play. Set amidst the opulence and splendor of 18th century Vienna, Peter Shaffer’s thrilling, and often wickedly funny play pits human ambition against heavenly genius.

AMADEUS
by Peter Shaffer


Mainstage Three

Four women try to escape from their lives in England for a month in a secluded Castle in Italy. Through twists and unexpected liaisons, they find their vacation to be more than they expected. In the sunshine of Italy, the women experience unexpected and enchanted turns in their otherwise cloudy lives.

THE ENCHANTED APRIL
by Kane Campbell


Mainstage Four

This will be the WORLD PREMIER of this exciting adaptation of the Irish stories from which the John Ford movie was taken. It’s a play filled with humor, heart, and drama, spiced with Irish music and two-fisted action.

It’s about love, loyalty, and friendship; about a group of friends who stand together during times of war, and through the rebuilding of their lives and loves when the fighting is over.

THE QUIET MAN TALES
adapted by Frank Mahon and Melissa Pacelli


Mainstage Five

We not only gave you your FIRST choice in the balloting, we decided to give you your SECOND choice as well.

This is a rousing comedy about a man trying to get away from a difficult personal life by hiding out in a Southern hunting lodge. THE FOREIGNER is a comic farce complete with surprising plot twists, mistaken identities, evil villains, and innocent damsels. "A Blast of Hilarity" says the Washigton Times.

THE FOREIGNER
by Larry Shue


In the Forum

Forum One

"The lies begin when you lift the pen", is a line that comes up early on in "Fiction", Steven Dietz' witty, literate examination of the secrets we keep from even those we trust the most. Married authors read each others’ diaries and notebooks and discover secret lives. Is it better to die with a secret than to live with one?

FICTION
by Stephen Deitz


Forum Two

A mystery about a murder in a small town and the community theatre production of Saint Joan that drives its principal actress to try and solve it. Book Of Days gathers up religion, truth, and even Joan of Arc and creates a fascinating play that has facile plots, twists, and turns.

BOOK OF DAYS
by Lanford Wilson
