Cast

Toni Simmons believes that the only reason her married lover won't leave his wife is because of the children. In truth, her lover, dentist Julian Winston, doesn't have any children. In fact, Julian doesn't even have a wife – he just tells women he does to avoid getting involved. When Julian does decide to take the plunge with Toni, she insists on meeting the first wife and Julian enlists the aid of his long-time nurse/receptionist to play the part. The 1970 movie version won an Oscar for Goldie Hawn!


Coming Soon ...

The Little Foxes
September 5–28

Lillian Hellman's cynical play of family greed and revenge, The Little Foxes, is her most popular work. The Hubbard siblings steal, deceive, and plot against each other in their efforts to invest in one of the first cotton mills to industrialize the New South, a plan that stands to win them millions of dollars. The Hubbards are a family prone to deceit, caught in a cycle of revenge not unlike Greek classical tragedies. The family forbears harvested their merchant profits by overcharging the newly freed slaves, and now the Hubbards will create a larger dynasty on the toil of poor workers, who will flock to the cotton mill for its paltry wages. TKD's production is directed by Fran Shea.

Lizzie Borden of Fall River
October 17–November 9, 2008

The Lizzie Borden case is without parallel in the criminal history of America, and it divided public opinion as no murder trial had ever done. Did the strong-willed, intelligent Lizzie dispatch her father and stepmother with an axe one fateful August morning, or was she the innocent victim of circumstance? Set in the Borden residence in Fall River, Massachusetts, the fascinating cast of characters are each involved, in some way, with the tragedy. Along the way, the audience is gripped by suspense as clues fall in and out of place. Why was the evidence that would help prove Lizzie innocent withheld? Who is lying and who is telling the truth? Why do so many rush to her defense and so many others want her punished? It's a drama, mystery, suspense-thriller that will keep the audience guessing right up to the final scene. TKD's production is directed by Zach Allen.
