Spring flowers in May herald the sophisticated
drama of “The Women” by
Clare Boothe Luce. Director Tom Quimby
reprises the all time SRO hit of 1990. Based
on the 1936 play starring Norma Shearer,
Rosalind Russell, Marjorie Main, Joan
Fontaine, Hedda Hopper, and Joan Crawford,
“The Women” follows the lives of a
circle of wealthy Manhattan women and
their story of marital conflict, friendships,
and coping with changing values and
lifestyles. It’s a classic portrayal of the
fairer sex meeting the challenges of love,
rivalry and self fulfillment during the beginning
of women’s liberation. “The
Women” runs May 3-20.
Opening August 9 is the hilarious
comedy of “The Drowsy Chaperone” with
book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar,
and music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and
Greg Morrison. Director Marcia Gilliam
presents the Tony winning Broadway hit
that started out as a spoof of old musicals
written by friends for the wedding of Bob
Martin and his wife Janet. It pays homage
to 1920 American musicals. A recluse listening
to a recording of a musical comedy
is transported into the musical. The consequent
plot highlights mistaken identities,
dream sequences, an unflappable English
butler, an absent minded dowager, gangsters,
and millionaires.
Closing TAP’s 30th season in October
is the comical spoof of the spy thriller
movies of the Cold War era, Michael
Hollinger’s “Red Herring”, directed by
George Edmonds. “Red Herring” follows
the attempts of three couples to overcome
the obstacles that stand in the way of love
and marriage such as a not-too-bright Russian
spy, mistaken identities, counter agents,
and farcical plot twists.
TAP’s 30th Season begins at the Oxford
Community Center in Oxford, MD
with the dazzling “Life is a Cabaret: The
Songs of Kander & Ebb”. Fridays and Saturdays,
February 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, & 25
