A Fantasia on the Life of Florence Foster Jenkins. For more than half a century the name Florence Foster Jenkins has been guaranteed to produce explosions of derisive laughter, as this wealthy society eccentric suffered under the delusion that she was a great coloratura soprano when she was in fact incapable of producing two consecutive notes in tune. Nevertheless, her annual recitals brought her extraordinary fame. By turn hilarious and poignant, Souvenir tells her story through the eyes of her accompanist, Cosme McMoon. As Florence's confidence soars and faced with her boundless certainty, Cosme comes to revise his attitude, not only toward her singing but to the very meaning of music itself. "Go laugh to your heart's content. There weren't many voices as bad as Jenkins'. There aren't many theatrical experiences as good as Souvenir." - Boston Globe. "A beguiling comic jewel with a heart." - Variety

Harold and Burt, longtime friends, live in a retirement home and spend their days on a bench in the garden bickering. A once famous actress has just moved in, giving them something new to argue over. When they learn that the home is about to be sold and they will have to find a new residence, the three join forces to prevent this upsetting development. “Very wise, very moving, but most of all, very funny.” – Mel Brooks

Called "the funniest farce ever written," Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called "Nothing's On." Doors slamming, on and offstage intrigue and, an errant herring, all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play. "As Side-splitting a farce as I have seen. Ever? Ever." - New York Magazine

By John Van Druten. Gillian Holroyd is one of the few modern people who can actually cast spells and perform feats of supernaturalism. She casts a spell over an unattached publisher, Shepherd Henderson, partly to keep him away from a rival and partly because she is attracted to him. He falls head over heels in love with her at once and wants to marry her. But witches, unfortunately, cannot fall in love, and this minute imperfection leads to a number of difficulties. A wonderfully enchanting fantasy!

Presented by Henrico Theatre Company! The songs of Rodgers and Hammerstein have become an integral part of our everyday lives. We sing them in the shower, we dance to them in ballrooms, we hear them on the radio and in elevators and supermarkets. We still thrill to them on the live stage in their respective musicals and we teach them to our children. While our five performers are given the opportunity to explore the songs with their own styles, it offers the audience a glorious parade of genuine hits - truly some enchanted evening! Includes such favorites as If I Loved You, In My Own Little Corner, The Sound of Music, Shall We Dance?, and I Cain't Say No.
Presented By Henrico Theatre Company! This good old fashioned domestic farce is about a married man in his fifties who suddenly learns he's becoming a father again.

There's to be a nursery, a new bath, and she's to have her own checking account. Such dour capitulation you'll never see again. Plain, simple and old-fashioned laughter! Directed by Alex Godschalk.
