Both nights are open seating - no ticket needed - just come. AND, we are very excited to announce that over 20 pieces of terrific art by Walpole High School students will be on display in our lobby during of our two performances of Museum Piece! Come early to take in the work of talented art students in our lobby. Enjoy a staged reading by local playwrights on our stage. Peruse the art of local students during intermission and have a snack. We love the community part of Community Theater! |
The Rodman Museum of Contemporary Art has lost an important grant and is in danger of closing - until they install a controversial new exhibit, which attracts a large number of visitors. But some of the museum volunteers are shocked and offended by the new artwork - especially by one huge X-rated painting that “seems to follow you around the room.” The painting is stolen during a fire drill. Charlie, the Museum Security Guard interviews all the suspects - several of which have a strong motive. The robbery is well-publicized and attendance goes up again, to the point where the Museum Director’s worst fear is that the painting will be found! Along the way, we encounter a number of interesting characters, a few different takes on the meaning of art, a romantic triangle, and a surprising twist at the end.
Thank you for coming to our shows this 101st season...

Mauritius
By Theresa Rebeck Directed by Peter McElhinney Friday May 2nd, 7:30pm Saturday May 3rd, 7:30pm Sunday May 4th, 2:00pm Friday May 9th, 7:30pm Saturday May 10th, 7:30pm Saturday May 17th, 7:30pm Sunday May 18th, 2:00pm Stamp collecting is far more risky than you think. After their mother’s death, two estranged half-sisters discover a book of rare stamps that may include the crown jewel for collectors. One sister tries to collect on the windfall, while the other resists for sentimental reasons. In this gripping tale, a seemingly simple sale becomes dangerous when three seedy, high-stakes collectors enter the sisters’ world, willing to do anything to claim the rare find as their own. *Mauritius contains strong language. |
