Rumors
by Neil Simon
Farce - PG (for adult language)

Co-Produced by Critical Path Strategies

Directed by Patty Loftis

 What's supposed to be a 10th anniversary celebration for Charley and Myra rapidly declines into an evening of disaster and deceit when the guests arrive.  Through the course of the evening, the secret inevitably 
slips out to the other couples.  Rumors run rampant as they try to piece together the sordid events of the evening.  Did Charley discover Myra  
had been having an affair?  Did Myra discover Charley had been fooling around?  Worse yet - could one of the adulterers be here among them?  When the police arrive on the scene, nothing but an all-out improvisation can possibly create an illusion of normalcy for a 
hilarious evening that's put everyone through the ringer.

The Dining Room
by A. R. Gurney
Comedy/Drama - PG

Co-Produced by
Methodist Boerne Emergency Center

Directed by Christine Godin

  The play is set in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household, 
the place where the family assembled daily for breakfast and dinner 
and for any and all special occasions. The action is comprised of a 
mosaic of interrelated scenes—some funny, some touching, some rueful—which, taken together, create an in-depth portrait of a vanishing species: the upper-middle-class WASP. The actors change roles, personalities and ages with virtuoso skill as they portray a wide variety 
of characters, from little boys to stern grandfathers, and from giggling teenage girls to Irish housemaids.  Dovetailing swiftly and smoothly, 
the varied scenes coalesce, ultimately, into a theatrical experience of exceptional range, compassionate humor and abundant humanity.
