Now the new governess has begun to see the specters of her predecessors haunting the children, and she must find a way to stop the fiends before it is too late.

King Henry II of England has three sons by Eleanor of Aquitaine: Richard, Geoffrey, and John. He wants the kingdom to stay united after his death, but all three sons want to rule and it is likely to be torn apart by revolution. Henry favors the youngest John, while Eleanor favors the eldest, Richard. Middle son Geoffrey hopes to play both ends against each other and come out on top. Henry would like to have another heir by his mistress Alais, but that would only add to the confusion. Uneasy is the head on which the crown lies, and uneasy the truce between a matchless king and queen.

Love Letters
February 10 -14, 2012
By A.R. Gurney
Directed by Tim Moore and Laura Moore
Comedy Rated PG
From the author of ‘Sylvia’ comes the Pulitzer Prize nominated play ‘Love Letters’, the perfect presentation for the month of February, when valentines pass through the hands of young and old, and thoughts turn to matters of the heart. The play centers on just two characters - Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III. Using the epistolary form sometimes found in novels, the two sit side by side and read the notes, letters, and cards - in which, for over 50 years, they discuss the hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats that have passed between them throughout their separated lives. The letters, both sweet and bittersweet, span two lifetimes, and are full of innocent banter, hilarious exchanges, bittersweet recollections, longing for kisses, and destinies entwined.

When the Soady clan reunites for the opening day of deer season at the family's Upper Peninsula camp, thirty-five-year-old Reuben Soady brings with him the infamous reputation of being the oldest Soady in the history of the Soadys never to bag a buck. In a hunting story to beat all hunting stories, ‘Escanaba in da Moonlight’ spins a hilarious tale of humor, horror and heart as Reuben goes to any and all lengths to remove himself from the wrong end of the family record book.
