The Footlight Club presents Olivier, Tony and Moliere Award-winning playwright Alan Ayckbourn's 1972 play Absurd Person Singular. Three couples host Christmas Eve gatherings in their respective homes over three successive years. On the first holiday eve, "lower class" but very much up-and-coming Hopcrofts are in their bright new gadget-filled kitchen, anxiously hosting a small party for their bank manager and his wife and an architect neighbor. The following Christmas Eve finds the architect and his wife hosting a party in their now-neglected, untidy flat. The final Christmas Eve finds the the bank manager and his wife playing host in their large but clearly dated Victorian-style kitchen. The dark thread running through this wild comedy of behind-the-scenes party disasters is the changing fortunes of three married couples.

The Footlight Club presents The Three Sisters, Anton Chekhov's family drama in an adaptation by acclaimed playwright David Mamet. The three sisters of the title -- matriarchal Olga; witty, peppery Masha, and the baby, Irina - long to go to Moscow even as their lives revolve around their brother Andrei and his sometimes questionable life decisions. As the action unfolds, characters evolve and true natures are revealed by each character's pursuit of his or her own happiness. Taking place in a country on the verge of revolution, Three Sisters chronicles the lives of community members striving to reconcile the rift between tradition and reformation. Learn More

I had no idea what to expect from the oldest community theatre in the country, but I thought it was excellent, from the acting to the set. Well done, I'll be back!

Wasn't crazy about the theatre. Little to no accessibility and a long stairway. The physical seats were too close together, making it difficult to get into your row and seat.

Very entertaining! Actors were all equally very good. A comedic take on poignant, sad, revealing moments. Very well done. Theater was a little cold and seats are very close to each other - despite minor discomfort the show was well worth it!!
