THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE
Adapted for the stage by F. Andrew Leslie
From the Novel by Shirley Jackson
Directed by: Arlan Ropp
THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE was adapted by F. Andrew Leslie from the classic novel by Shirley Jackson, considered to be one of the finest literary ghost stories of the past 100 years. Jackson also wrote the award-winning short story, "The Lottery," and the novel WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CASTLE. Unlike the current "slasher" style of ghost tales, the menace in THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE is more psychological than physical. Neither the characters nor the audience know exactly what is happening, adding to the chills and thrills. HILL HOUSE has been filmed twice; in reviewing the 1963 version, starring Claire Bloom and Julie Harris, famed movie critic Leonard Maltin warned, "Don't see this one alone!"
The nonprofessional stage performance rights in THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE are controlled exclusively by DRAMATISTS PLAY SERVICE, INC., 440 Park Aveenue South, New York, NY 10016.

SISTER MARY IGNATIUS EXPLAINS IT ALL FOR YOU and THE ACTOR'S NIGHTMARE
By Christopher Durang
Directed by: Carole Joseph
Sister Mary, a life-long teaching nun, lectures you, her audience, on life and sin in all its various forms. Her class is interrupted by several former students, none of whom is very happy about how the good Sister's teachings have helped them cope with life's difficulties.
In the curtain-raising play, THE ACTOR'S NIGHTMARE, nebbish George Spelvin finds himself unaccountably on stage in the middle of a series of classic plays, including PRIVATE LIVES and HAMLET, surrounded by some of history's most famous actors. George ties to cope with his difficult situation as best he can.

THE SENATOR WORE PANTYHOSE
By Billy Van Zandt and Jane Milmore
Directed by: Will Merklinger
If you're tired of political and religious scandals and are ready to laugh at politics again, this is your chance for revenge, as the Titusville Playhouse presents its light-hearted summer show, THE SENATOR WORE PANTYHOUSE.
THE SENATOR WORE PANTYHOSE is a classic farce, complete with door-slamming, mistaken identities, cross-dressing, and even a happy ending. We follow Presidential candidate "Honest Gabby" Sandleson on a campaign swing through rural Pennsylvania, as he tries to attract attention to his floundering candidacy and ends up involved with a televangelist, a muckraking reporter, and even a local single mother.
The amateur live stage performance rights to THE SENATOR WORE PANTYHOSE are controlled exclusively by Samuel French, Inc. It is fully protected under the protected under the copyright laws of the United States of America, the British Commonwealth, including Canada, and all other countries of the Copyright Union.

SWEENEY TODD
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by Hugh Wheeler
From an Adaptation by Christopher Bond
Directed by: Christina Robinson
SWEENEY TODD tells a classic story of chilling suspense, murderous barber-ism, and culinary crime. Todd is a 19th Century barber, unjustly exiled and torn from his family, who returns to London to seek revenge on the lecherous judge who framed him. He is aided by Mrs. Lovett, who hopes to becomes the new Mrs. Todd and whose downstairs meat-pie shop provides the perfect cover for Sweeney's homicidal work.
SWEENEY TODD is perhaps the greatest musical from Mr. Sondheim, the undisputed modern master of musical theatre. SWEENEY TODD won 9 Tonys, including one for its titanic score, as well as Best Musical.
