A Few Good Men

By Aaron Sorkin

September 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13

Aaron Sorkin’s groundbreaking debut tells the story of a group of military lawyers assigned to defend two Marines in Guantanamo Bay. During the course of the trial, they uncover a high-level conspiracy designed to eliminate weaker soldiers in the name of patriotism. Recognizing our nation’s 250th birthday, we celebrate the armed forces with this classic play.  Rated R due to language.

Drama critic Mortimer Brewster’s life is upended when he discovers a corpse in his elderly aunts’ window seat. Mortimer rushes to tell Abby and Martha before they stumble upon the body themselves, only to learn that the two old women are already aware of the dead man in their parlor. Find out how he got there by joining us for this classic comedy about the only thing more deadly than poison: Family.
