Snow White and the Magnificent Seven
by Damien Trasler, David Lovesy & Steve Clarke, directed by Melinda Mack
Cancelled
This ain’t yer grandpappy’s Snow White! Journey back to the Old West (well, Western Langley anyway) for this hilarious, localized version of the classic story. When evil Drusilla Blackheart and One-Eyed Slim conspire to do away with Snow White, it’s up to Sheriff Vince Charming, Nanny Oakley and Silly Billy the Kid to come to the rescue. But they’re not alone. Aided by seven former gunslingers and a flatulent horse, our heroes must overcome treachery, a free-range chicken, and cows on the run to save the day. This British comedy is presented by Outcast in conjunction with Never Too Late Productions, a group in which everyone is at least 50 years old (with the odd exception). Adult humor, but also fun for kids and anyone who enjoys silliness. Come prepared to boo the villains, cheer the heroes and avoid the horse!

Small Mouth Sounds
by Bess Wohl, directed by Laura Berkley Boram
Cancelled
In the overwhelming quiet of the woods, six runaways from city life embark on a silent retreat. As these strangers confront internal demons both profound and absurd, their vows of silence collide with the achingly human need to connect. Filled with awkward humor, this strange and compassionate new play asks how we address life’s biggest questions when words fail us.

The Cemetery Club
by Ivan Menchell, directed by Teresa McElhinny
November 6-21
Three Jewish widows meet once a month for tea before going to visit their husbands’ graves. Ida is sweet tempered and ready to begin a new life; Lucille is a feisty embodiment of the girl who just wants to have fun; and Doris is priggish and judgmental, particularly when Sam the butcher enters the scene. He meets the widows while visiting his wife’s grave. Doris and Lucille squash the budding romance between Sam and Ida. They are guilt-stricken when this nearly breaks Ida’s heart.
