Wheaton Drama's 2008-09 Season
(From the Wheaton Drama Press Release):

The Odd Couple (original)
Director: Bill Barry Jr.
Appearing at Playhouse 111, by popular demand! The classic Neil Simon comedy about mismatched roommates is sure to open the season with laughter. Felix Ungar is an uptight clean-freak who moves into the apartment of his slovenly friend Oscar Madison. A war of habits ensues, complicated by visits from poker buddies and the daffy Pigeon sisters. A success on Broadway and the silver screen, The Odd Couple is a fun romp through domestic mayhem.

A Year With Frog And Toad
Director: Carla Mutone
Nominated for three Tony Awards, including Best Musical, this family-friendly Broadway hit follows the adventures of Frog and Toad and their friends throughout a year. Its energetic, witty songs include ?Getta Loada Toad?, ?Shivers?, ?I?m Coming Out Of My Shell?, ?Merry Almost Christmas?, and more. Kids will love this adaptation of Arnold Lobel?s popular books, and adults will appreciate the clever music and light-hearted charm. A Year With Frog and Toad is an enjoyable encouragement for all ages to appreciate the simpler, gentler thing in life.

Deathtrap
Director: Annie Walker-Bright
Ira Levin?s unmistakable audience favorite, Deathtrap won a Tony Award for Best Play and holds the record as the longest-running comedy-thriller on Broadway. Washed-up playwright Sidney Bruhl is suffering from writer?s block and claims he will do anything to ensure another Broadway success. Does that ?anything? include murder? The show?s rapid plot twists and double-crossings are guaranteed to keep audiences riveted until the ?bitter end??

A Streetcar Named Desire
Director: Chuck Berglund
Tennessee Williams? Pulitzer Prize winning masterpiece is a Tony Award winner with a grand theatrical history. When fading ?Southern Belle? Blanche DuBois comes to stay with her sister Stella in New Orleans, Blanche immediately clashes with Stanley Kowalski, Stella?s primal, dominating husband. The tensions rise as Stanley relentlessly questions Blanche?s past and her pretensions of virtue. With unforgettable characters, situations, and dialogue, this beautifully crafted show is a watershed piece for actors and audiences.

The Full Monty
Director: Jack Smith
Adapted from the 1997 Academy Award winning comedy film, this award-winning Broadway musical follows six unemployed Buffalo, New York steelworkers as they try to achieve the extraordinary. Strapped for cash and with few job prospects, these ordinary men notice how popular a Chippendales show is with their wives and decide to stage their own performance. The trouble is, they don?t look like Chippendales and have a host of insecurities and biases to overcome! With such songs as ?Scrap?, ?It?s A Woman?s World?, ?Michael Jordan?s Ball? ?Jeanette?s Showbiz Number?, and the toe-tapping, exhilarating finale, ?Let It Go?, The Full Monty is a funny, touching, feel-good show that celebrates hope, friendship, and acceptance.
