1995-96 Mermaid Players Season A Flea in Her (R)ear by Georges Feydeau October 13,14,16,17
Suspected adultery provides a springboard for mistaken identities, mad chases, ubiquitous slaps, kicks in the pants, revolver shots, and revolving beds in this turn-of-the-century French farce. Playwright Georges Feydeau, considered a master of the genre, sends puns, double-entendres, and sexual innuendos flying in this hilarious, madcap romp that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats from whirlwind start to chaotic conclusion.

This Broadway hit is daring and experimental in its uncynical approach to love and romance. Set on a Massachusetts beach, Coastal Disturbances chronicles four generations of vacationers and focuses on the budding romance between a handsome lifeguard and a kooky young photographer. The New York Times says this enchanting play "generously illumninates the intimate landscape between men and women."
by William Shakespeare April 12,13,15,16
Humor and tragedy intermingle in this dark story of jealousy, intrigue, and redemption. One of the Bard's later romances, The Winter's Tale is the story of Leontes, king of Sicilia, whose insane and irrational jealousy brings disaster to his family and his royal house. Ultimately, The Winter's Tale is a story of transformation; the power of enduring love triumphs as Leontes atones for his acts and seeks to bring harmony to his shattered kingdom.
