Millbrook Playhouse Presents:  THE NERD (PG) in Cabaret Theater
Country Club Lane, Mill Hall, PA 17751. For tickets and additional info: 570-748-8083
By: Larry Shue.  By the same author as last year’s sold-out hit The Foreigner.
Willum Cubbert has often told his friends about the debt he owes to Rick Steadman, a fellow ex-GI whom he has never met but who saved his life in Vietnam. Willum is delighted when Rick shows up unexpectedly at his apartment on the night of his thirty-fourth birthday party. But his delight soon fades as it becomes apparent that Rick is a hopeless "nerd"—a bumbling oaf with no social sense, little intelligence and less tact. And Rick stays on and on, leading to one uproarious incident after another, until the normally placid Willum finds himself contemplating violence—a dire development which, happily, is staved off by the surprising "twist" ending of the play. "…the audience almost never stops laughing—handkerchiefs wiping away tears of merriment…" —Variety

 on Main Stage
Country Club Lane, Mill Hall, PA 17751. For tickets and additional info: 570-748-8083. By: Michael Frayn. A company is in their final dress rehearsal for a dreadful sex comedy titled Nothing On—a play where young girls run about in their underwear, old men drop their trousers, and doors continually open and shut. However, at the final dress the doors won’t open, the old men forget their entrances and nothing goes right.  Noises Off shows you the hysterical back stage antics involved in putting on a production.   "Bumper car brilliance ... If laughter is indeed the best medicine, NOISES OFF is worth its weight in Cipro."—New York Daily News.

Or the lingerie.  Shirley's a middle-aged Liverpool housewife, who finds herself talking to the wall while she prepares her husband's chip'n'egg, wondering what happened to her life. She compares scenes in her current life with what she used to be like and feels she's stagnated and in a rut. But when her best friend wins an all-expenses-paid vacation to Greece for two, Shirley begins to see the world, and herself, in a different light.  This hilariously engaging play is a one woman tour de force. A joyful, captivating piece of theatre." -N.Y. Daily News.
