featuring several contemporary plays. All performances will be at Langham Creek
High School, 17610 FM 529. General admission tickets are $10; students and
seniors $8.
The season kicks off with the Fresh Faces: Collective Dating on Sept. 17-18. In this series of five short plays, the Ensemble officers will
direct theater newcomers. Each play centers around different dating scenario,
presenting them in a comedic way.
Moon Over Buffalo takes the main stage on Nov. 5-7 and Nov. 13-14. This romantic comedy takes
place in 1953 and centers on a dysfunctional acting couple, as they attempt to
make it to Broadway.
Proof will take the stage from Dec. 10-12. Proof received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2001, as well as the Tony Award for
best play in the same year.
Proof centers around Catherine, the daughter of a famous, eccentric, mathematician
named Robert. Following Robert

arrival of her nitpicking sister.
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) by The Reduced Shakespeare Company will be performed on Feb. 4-6 and Feb. 12-13.
Do not be alarmed by the mention of Shakespeare
’s name; this is not an English class reading of his plays. In 90 minutes, the
entire collection of Shakespeare
’s plays is performed in a very comedic and entertaining way.
