This drama is one of the greatest tragedy-themed plays by William Shakespeare. Othello is a highly-esteemed general in the service of Venice, Italy. Iago is Othello's ambitious friend. Othello promotes Michael Cassio to the position of personal lieutenant, and Iago is deadly jealous. Iago begins an evil and malicious campaign against the hero. Othello elopes with the beautiful Desdemona, but Iago decides to plot against them, providing Othello with false beliefs and leading him to become suspicious of his lover. He confides in Iago that he plans to poison Desdemona, and plots and murders ensue while Othello returns to the castle to kill his ultimately innocent wife.

"Sharp-Dressed Men"

Directed by The Cast of "Sharp Dressed Men"

Sharp-Dressed

Mom and Dad are finally ready to tie the knot! Unfortunately, their special day is in the hands of their three inept sons. Thankfully, childhood friend Rhonda is there to keep the boys in line and be the sole voice of reason. Rhonda has been carrying a torch for one of the sons for far too long, but he cannot get over his ex-wife, who divorced him two years ago, and has long since moved on - in fact, she is attending the wedding with her new boyfriend. Chaos ensues when the tuxedos do not arrive, the rectory is filled with birdseed, and one son is nursing a monumental hangover. This fast-paced comedy written by award-winning seacoast playwright Greg Gaskell will be adjudicated for the New Hampshire Theatre Awards.

"Damn Yankees"

"Baseball diamonds are a girl's best friend!"

Directed by Christine Frydenborg

Choreographed by Alisha Buyck, assisted by Collette Fortin & Jasmine Roth

Damn

Central High School ~ Manchester NH

 

Faust meets professional baseball in this Broadway classic from the creators of "The Pajama Game." Middle-aged baseball fanatic Joanne Boyd trades her soul to the devil (the charming but devious Miss Applegate) for a chance to lead her favorite team to victory in the race for the pennant against the New York Yankees. As young baseball sensation Jo Hardy, she transforms the hapless Washington Senators into a winning team, only to realize the true worth of the life and the husband she left behind. Light, fast-paced, and devilishly clever, "Damn Yankees" is a home-run hit whose all-American subject matter are irreverent sense of humor have brought many a sports fan into the theater.
