'THE FOREIGNER' by Larry Shue is called 'one of the funniest plays of the 20th century!' and 'a comic gem from start to finish!' Come see The Lakeway Players production where you can bring in food, beverages, and alcohol and watch the play at a table with friends!

Directed by Linda Dobbs (Director of the 2016 hit, "Ghost of a Chance"), The Lakeway Players are pleased to announce their spring show "The Foreigner", a comedy by Larry Shue, and winner of two Obie Awards and two Outer Critics Circle Awards. You may have been lucky enough to see the play on Broadway with Matthew Broderick as Charlie, and we firmly believe you'll be as pleased, if not more, to see the fabulous Max Green as Charlie Baker on the Lakeway Activity Center Stage. Max comes to us from Bard College in New York, and has been seen here on stage at Zach Theater, St. Stephen's Episcopal School, and Doctuh Mistuh Productions.

As I hear it, The Palace in Georgetown was due to produce Grease in the spot where LOVE ALWAYS, PATSY CLINE resides now. All I'll say about that is, thank goodness it worked out this way! This production is adorable and entertaining from start to finish. I smiled through most of the show, and even leaned into the fairly loose premise. Story line is not the intent of most jukebox musicals, but this one fared relatively well in the hands of its Director/Musical Director/Conductor/Bassist Lannie Hiboldt. Lannie also did the set design. Generally, this could be seen as overextending one's self, but it Lannie's case, it worked out nicely.

Carol Hickey Acting Studio presents Good People, written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire.  He pays his respects to his old South Boston neighborhood and the insurmountable class divide between those who make it out of this blue-collar neighborhood and those who find themselves left behind.   Good People has been hailed as enthralling, utterly gripping, remarkable" by the Los Angeles Times, "painfully funny and gut wrenchingly real" by Washingtonian Magazine and "masterful and oh-so-compelling" by The Boston Globe. 

The Lakeway Players will perform the 'dramedy' 'Ghost of a Chance' by Flip Kobler and Cindy Marcus, delightfully directed by Lakeway's own Linda Dobbs.

STEEL MAGNOLIAS is a comedic drama written by Robert Harling, based on his experience with his sister's death. It is about the friendships and families of a group of Southern women in northwest Louisiana. The title references how these women are both delicate and strong. One of the most produced plays in America, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who has never seen at least the film version.

TexARTS presents Robert Harling's 'Steel Magnolias' at the Kam & James Morris Theatre, October 16-25. The third production in TexARTS' 2015-16 professional series, 'Steel Magnolias' is a glimpse into the lives of six Southern women who are 'delicate as magnolias but as tough as steel.'

Paula Vogel's play, THE OLDEST PROFESSION, is set in 1981, shortly after the election of Ronald Reagan. Set in a park, the play examines the lives of five 'working girls' at the end of their very long careers. The "girls" are Mae, a madam, and her stable: Ursula, Lillian, Vera and Edna. In between appointments with their gentlemen, the women reminisce about their early days in New Orleans' Storyville and review their finances and options today. Their clients are literally a dying breed: one has been kidnapped by his children, another thinks it's 1940 and is paying with silk stockings, some are hospitalized and may not be coming out. The financial situation is grave for Mae's stable. These girls aren't getting any younger.

Agape Actor's Co-Op will be producing a critically acclaimed comedy from Pulitzer Prize winner playwright Paula Vogel.

ALWAYS PATSY CLINE, now playing at the Georgetown Palace Theatre, has made a fan out of me. This simple, understated production is a loving tribute and homage to one of the greatest singers of the last century. Whether you're a fan of Patsy Cline or not, you'll love her after seeing this production.
