CORONA VIRUS UPDATE
The Company OnStage will be running shows as scheduled this weekend, but we feel it is important that you know the health and well-being of our patrons, cast, and crew are of the utmost importance to us. In light of the current concerns surrounding COVID-19, The Company OnStage Board of Directors has made some proactive decisions to prevent the spread of germs.
First, we ask that if you are feeling poorly, coughing, or sneezing that you make plans to attend the show when you are feeling better. You can contact us and we will happily transfer your tickets to a different performance.
Second, we have hand sanitizer available in both restrooms and at the concession stand.
Third, all door handles will be wiped down before and after each performance. The front door of the theater will be open for you upon your arrival and departure, to minimize the need for touching shared surfaces.
Fourth, our concession stand will only offer individually packaged snacks, served to you by gloved volunteers. We encourage you to use the credit card "Dip Jar" rather than making cash donations for your snacks, but cash donations will still be accepted.
Finally, our Pinocchio cast will forgo the usual meet and greet/autograph signing following the performances. Instead, every patron will receive an autographed insert with their programs and we will do a short talk back with the cast. Autographed Cast photos will be available at the box office for the usual price of $2.
We thank you for your understanding and look forward to seeing you in our audience for these fantastic productions!

Adapted by Johnny Simons
The charming tale of the wooden puppet Pinocchio, who dreams of becoming a real boy, is brought to life in true Italian, commedia dell’arte fashion. Our story begins with a troupe of strolling commedia players exploding into the theatre with their noisy props and crude scenery; Arlecchino, Pantalone, Razullo, Beltrama, Pulcinella, Pedrolina, and Columbina. All the familiar characters of Carlo Collodi’s story are portrayed in flamboyant and colorful fashion providing entertainment for adults as well as children.

From the novel by Elizabeth von Arnim, feeling lost in the shadows of marriage and forgotten in the rush of 1920s post-war society, two London housewives pool their savings to rent a villa in Italy for a ladies-only holiday, reluctantly recruiting a pair of difficult upper-class women to share the cost and the experience. Together under the Mediterranean sun, the four women clash, and then begin to bond and bloom, until men once again upset the balance.

Suspenseful drama, by Mary Orr
We first meet Eve Harrington standing in the rain by the stage door of the theatre in which her idol, the renowned Margo Crane, is starring in her latest long-run hit. An engrossing and revealing "inside" story of life in New York's theatre world, Eve lies, cheats, and blackmails her way to Broadway stardom, a Hollywood career, then leaves the wreckage of her friends' trust behind her. Mary Orr successfully adapted her story for the screen as the unforgettable, All About Eve starring Bette Davis.
