SUPREME BEINGS
WRITTEN BY MO GAFFNEY AND KATHY NAJIMY
DIRECTED BY LORI GOLDRING

Two supreme beings plan the beginning of the world with the relish of

two slightly sadistic suburban wives decorating a living room. 

A FORTUNE COOKIE
WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY G. SHERMAN H. MORRISON

Those little slips of paper you get inside fortune cookies at Chinese restaurants seem innocent enough,

but when they start coming true on the spot, all hell breaks loose!



COMMEDIA DELL'ARTE - II DOTTORE'S POOR EVENING


ATOMS AND EXPLODED STARS
WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY GREG PRATT

A heartwarming story about one family's exploration of love, loss, endings, and new beginnings.


THE SEQUEL**
BY PERCIVAL WILDE
This story begins where most romantic comedies leave off, with the hero and heroine locked in a romantic embrace. A comedic look at the stereotypical happy ending, and asks the question: What comes next? What happens after? 

YESTERDAY**
BY COLIN CLEMENT CAMPBELL

​Two strangers discuss their lives and find that they may have more in common than they had thought.

THE EVILS OF DRINK **
BY GREG PRATT

A bartender just wants his last patron to go home, but the patron has important philosophy to discuss first!

A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE**
BY OSCAR WILDE
Wilde's audacious drama of social scandal centers around the revelation of Mrs. Arbuthnot's long-concealed secret. 


**Fully Staged Reading



In celebration of their centennial year, the

Jaffrey-Rindge Lion's Club is presenting a fun-filled evening of murder, intrigue and lots of laughter. Come dressed in your best 1920's garb to blend in with the suspects of the Branch River Theatre performers. A murder mystery at the "Lion's Den", better known as the beautiful Shattuck Golf Club, has to be solved before the night's end...

or else! 


Believe us when we tell you that you won't die of boredom as there will be a 3 course meal, cash bar, photo booth and a silent auction also included in the evening's mayhem!

   THE DINNER PARTY
                                          By Neil Simon
                                               Directed by Gail Connelly


                                                  6 PERFORMANCES 

                                       NOVEMBER 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 2017


                               
Paris.


Fancy French Restaurant.


Comedy, chaos, relationships and mystery are all served up to a party of 6 in

Neil Simon’s 31st play; THE DINNER PARTY. Derived from Simon’s own relationship

experiences, this hilarious and emotionally rich play is dished up on a plate of mystery

as these people are tossed together in a private dining room, not knowing why they

were invited and not knowing each other. You will surely laugh out loud as the evening

unfolds like a fine silk napkin.

John Ritter and Henry Winkler starred in the wildly successful Kennedy Center production

and on Broadway.
