Over the Ledge Theatre announces its SUMMER SEASON
July 5-8 & 12-15
THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES A musical comedy with a book by Roger Bean. Directed by Kelly Stuible-Clark. This smashing off-Broadway hit sends us to the 1958 Springfield High prom, where we meet The Wonderettes, four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts. Watch the highs and lows the girls experience from prom night to their reunion on stage 10 years later. Including classic hits from the 50s and 60s like “It’s My Party,” “Goodnight Sweetheart,” “You Don’t Own Me,” “Mr. Sandman,” “Lollipop,” “Dream Lover,” “Stupid Cupid” and “Lipstick on Your Collar.” “For a certain generation – and all fanciers of the girl-group sound – this is an utter charm bomb.” New York Times
Aug. 2-5 & 9-12
NORMA & WANDAby Jeff Daniels. Directed by Adam Carlson. Two very different sisters get themselves into an outrageous pickle with an old high school boyfriend, a chaotic church social and a secret family recipe for Christmas sausage. “Norma and Wanda is wacky and farcical, with plenty of physical comedy and hilarious one-liners, but lurking behind the seemingly silly façade lies a universal truth you won’t expect.” Ann Arbor Observer
Sept. 6-9 & 13-16
DANCING AT LUGHNASA,by Brian Friel. Directed by Mary Job. Winner of Tony, Olivier and Drama Circle Critics’ awards for best play, DANCING AT LUGHNASA is the memory of 7 year old Michael Evans, told from the perspective of the adult Michael, about his mother and four aunts in the late summer of 1936 when three remarkable events occurred: his uncle Jack, a missionary priest, returned home after 25 years, he met his father, and, wonders of wonders, the Mundy sisters got a wireless radio! The adult Michael watches as his mother and aunts' search for and find the potential for love--only to lose it as the hardships of life and the limitations of small village mores contain them. A “ravishing memory play” that “carries its characters and audience aloft” The New York Times
