Oak Grove 2010 Season


Prelude to A Kiss

by Craig Lucas

Thursday, July 29 - Wednesday, August 4

Directed by Diane Stewart

Rita and Peter are intelligent young professionals who fall in love and get married in the usual way, but a mysterious stranger arrives at the wedding and changes the course of their lives. A “fairy tale for adults,” this romantic and magical play takes you on a journey of the heart, and will leave you pondering the wondrous promise of truly selfless love.

“I loved this play!” – Franck Rich, The New York Times

“Enormous fun! Touching, romantic, sexy, dazzling.” – Clive Barnes, New York Post

“Craig Lucas is one of America’s most inventive and provocative playwrights.” – Holly Hill, London Times

Arsenic and Old Lace

by Joseph Kesselring

Thursday, August 19 - Wednesday, August 25

Directed by Ben Houseknecht

They say insanity runs in the Brewster family and they may be right. Just when Mortimer Brewster thinks marriage is the worst of his woes, a simple trip to his boyhood home changes that in an instant. Murder, mayhem, and laughs ensue in this classic tale of a family that can kill you with its kindness.

 

Oak Grove Theater

Oak Grove Theater is a community theater group that performs an annual five play summer season. The plays are performed at night, out-of-doors, at beautiful Oak Grove just outside of Verona, Virginia. Please feel free to come picnic at the Grove before the sun sets and the play begins. Patrons must subscribe to the entire 5 play season. Single play tickets are not available.

Oak Grove’s productions open on a Thursday night and run each night for a week. All performances begin at 8:45 p.m. sharp. Please be punctual as a courtesy to other subscribers and the play’s cast and crew.

Oak Grove Theater is a non-profit organization that is supported entirely by season subscriptions. Please subscribe to Oak Grove Theater this year and enjoy five wonderful performances.

It has been 50 years since Fletcher and Margaret Collins carved a performance area out of the Verona woods and scattered upon it some of the finest plays and performances ever seen in a venue of its size and location. Here, nestled among the stands of towering oak trees and rhododendrons, reposes one of our area’s most brilliant theatrical jewels and valuable community resources.”
