was a son and heir. The Hareford Hall set are despondent when the family solicitor

June 15 – 30

Two married art dealers struggle with the visit of the wife's goody goody sister,

By Leslie Darbon
Adapted from Agatha Christie’s novel

Directed by Sherrionne Brown

July 20 – August 4

The announcement in the local paper states time and place of a murder to occur
in Miss Blacklock's Victorian house. The victim is not one of several occupants, temporary and
permanent, but an unexpected and unknown visitor. What follows is a classic Christie puzzle
of mixed motives, concealed identities, a second death, a determined Inspector grimly following
the twists and turns, and Miss Marple on hand to provide the final solution at some
risk to herself in a dramatic confrontation scene just before the final curtain.

Court Jester's Young People's Theatre

Book by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty
Music by Stephen Flaherty
Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens
Co-Conceived by Eric Idle
Based on the works of Dr. Seuss
Music Supervised, Adapted and Produced by Bryan Louiselle

Directed by Liz Boyer Hunnicutt

July 12 – 21

The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust
containing Whos, including Jojo, a Who child who gets in trouble for thinking
too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge--not only must he protect the Whos
from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to his
care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping,
and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers
of friendship, loyalty, family, and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!
