ALT 2008 - 2009 Season Plays.

The Exact Center of the Universe (drama)
Sept. 12 - 21, 2008
Vada Love Powell, the play's interfering, bigoted, yet oddly lovable heroine, is "a Southern matriarch fit to ride alongside Alfred Uhry's Miss Daisy," says the NY Post. The New York Times says, "The Exact Center of the Universe is a charming, insightful reflection on age, change, situational morality, the limitations of love and the difficulty of feeling at home in the world...wise and funny...a sweet-sour shot of Southern Comfort...nattily well-made."

How the Other Half Loves (farce)
Jan. 30 - Feb. 8, 2009
How the Other Half Loves, written by Alan Ayckbourn, is a hilarious comedy about three couples seeking clues about who's misbehaving with whom! One of the younger men is having an affair with the wife of the oldest, and when each returns home suspiciously late one night, they invent a story about having to spend some time smoothing domestic matters in the home of the third couple.

To Kill a Mockingbird (drama)
March 20 - 29, 2009
The novel, written by Harper Lee, deals with Civil Rights and racial bigotry in the segregated southern United States of the 1930s. Told through the eyes of the memorable Scout Finch, you learn about her father, Atticus, an attorney who hopelessly strives to prove the innocence of a black man unjustly accused of rape, and about Boo Radley, a mysterious neighbor who saves Scout and her brother, Jem, from being killed. A masterpiece!

Little Shop of Horrors (musical)
May 8 - 17, 2009
One of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows of all time, this affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has become a household name, thanks to a highly successful film version and a score by the songwriting team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, who redefined the animated musical film with Disney's The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin. Charming, tuneful and hilarious, Little Shop of Horrors never fails to entertain.
