FSLT 2013 Season Productions
February 14•, 15-16, 17••, 20-23 Hickory Dickory Dead
Directed by Rikkee Workman Black by Craig Sodaro
A touch of Agatha Christie, a nursery rhyme mystery. This one doesn’t take place
in Jolly Old England, but in present day New England. The Hickory Dickory Inn
is filled with guests, held hostage by a giant snowstorm. Each character has a
unique story to tell. Who will be the one to check out first?
April 4•, 5-6, 7••, 10-13 Steel Magnolias
Directed by Summer Ferguson by Robert Harling
Extolling the strength of Southern Womanhood, the story also became a wellloved
movie. The play is set in a small town beauty shop, a gathering place in joy
and in grief. Come and meet Truvy, Annelle, Clairee, M’Lynn and Ouiser. They
are witty, smart, and real characters. You probably know women just like them.
May 30•, May 31-June 1, 2••, 5-8 Barefoot in the Park
Directed by Luke Perkinson by Neil Simon
One of Simon’s early great comedies. It opened on Broadway in 1963 and ran
for 1,530 performances. With a biographical bent, it tells the story of young New
York newlyweds, the early days of their marriage, and the challenges of a third
floor apartment. An audience pleaser and a second time at FSLT.
July 18•, 19-20, 21••, 24-27 Emma
Directed by Micki Voelkel Novel by Jane Austen, Adapted by Michael Bloom
In 19th century England, marriage is the ultimate game. This romantic comedy
is about a wealthy young woman who is so busy playing matchmaker that she
never sees into her own heart. A true classic based on the Jane Austen favorite.
September 5•, 6-7, 8••, 11-14 Twelve Angry Men
Directed by Amanda Elkins by Reginald Rose
This celebrated American drama takes the audience behind the scene of a
“locked in” jury room, in which a dozen unacquainted men debate and delve
into “reasonable doubt” in a capital murder crime trial. A rush to judgment is not
good judgment, but it made a powerful play and a famous movie.
November 14•, 15-16, 17••, 20-23 (Musical) White Christmas
Directed by George Mann by David Ives, Music by Irving Berlin
A tale told in the 1954 movie starring Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. A pair of
W.W.II veterans put on tap shoes and find success centerstage. When they join
forces with two singing sisters, Cupid reaches for an arrow. But first they all
work to save their former general’s Vermont inn while jingle bells ring.
