| Hanover Tavern 2007 Season Smoke on the Mountain by Alan Bailey and Constance Ray February 23 – April 29, 2007 Set in the 1930s, this good time bluegrass gospel musical introduces the singing Sanders family, who perform their traditional and original gospel songs for the members of the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Mount Pleasant, NC. Pastor Oglethorpe welcomes the family to the church, where their individual stories and beliefs are shared during the concert. With the audience serving as the “congregation,” Smoke on the Mountain lovingly recreates a delightful and musically unforgettable slice of Americana. The Odd Couple by Neil Simon May 18 – August 5, 2007 The most hilariously mismatched roommates in the history of Broadway comedy are back at Hanover Tavern in this brand new production of one of America’s favorite comedies. Last produced by Barksdale in 1973, Neil Simon’s irresistibly funny play tells the story of two friends (one divorced, the other recently separated) who decide to share an apartment … with sidesplitting results. Don’t miss the sheer pleasure of rediscovering all over again the reasons we all first fell in love with The Odd Couple. Deathtrap by Ira Levin September 7 – October 21, 2007 Sidney Bruhl is a middle-aged playwright famous for his oh-so- clever whodunits, but he hasn’t had a hit in twenty years. When one of his former students sends him the only draft of a new murder mystery, Sidney devises a plan to ensure his own fortune. Will Sidney’s scheme lead him back to Broadway? Will the student be the victim of malicious jealousy? Will Sidney’s wife be able to withstand the horror in her household? Will the eccentric psychic who is visiting Sidney’s neighbors unearth the nastiness next door? Only one answer is certain: missing this classic Broadway thriller would be a deadly mistake. |
