Misery

Family Album is a comedy set at a New Hampshire cottage, where several generations of a family spend their hilariously chaotic summers over the span of many decades. With antics ranging from mice invasions to movie-making and game nights gone wrong, this original play promises plenty of laughs. Don’t miss out on the fun — or the answer to the question, “is a mattress a piece of furniture?”

Written by Eloise Hoffman. Directed by Donna DeWitt. Stage managed by Colleen Goldstein.

In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920s draw to a close, a garish Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the Cabaret. With the Emcee’s bawdy songs as wry commentary, Cabaret explores the dark, heady and tumultuous life of Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, is immediately taken with English singer Sally Bowles. Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally’s boarding house, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish. Musical numbers include “Willkommen,” “Cabaret,” “Don’t Tell Mama” and “Two Ladies.”
