\n\u2022BOY GETS GIRL: A contemporary chiller about a woman whose life of accomplishment is quickly destroyed by a disturbed admirer. The play works powerfully at its most basic level, as a suspenseful tale about the unraveling of a strong woman\u2019s sense of security in the urban jungle.

\n\u2022THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE: Music and lyrics by William Finn, book by Rachel Sheinkin.

The show\u2019s Tony Award winning imaginative team has created the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time \u201cThe lovably, entirely adorable new musical\u2026Spelling Bee is, in essence, A Chorus Line with pimples.\u201d \u2013 New York Times. As a special treat: A different Rhode Island mystery celebrity speller will perform at each performance.<\/p>\n

\n\u2022A FLEA IN HER EAR: A new version of George Feydeau\u2019s farce by David Ives is one of the greatest of French farces, perhaps the greatest farce ever written. Raymonde Chandebise suspects that her husband, Victor, a placid and successful insurance executive, is secretly having an affair. To find out, she and her friend Lucienne write him an anonymous love letter suggesting a rendezvous at the shady Frisky Puss Hotel. Thinking the letter was intended for his coworker, the gigolo Tournel,Victor sends Tournel off to make the rendezvous in his place. Meanwhile, Lucienne\u2019s jealous Spanish husband shows up with pistols and Camille, Victor\u2019s nephew, fails to warn everyone due to his ridiculous speech impediment. Winner of the 2006 Jefferson Award for best adaptation, the play was called \u201c\u2026a hilarious evening of classic comedy.\u201d \u2013 Chicago Critic

\n\u2022UNBOUND: The Rhode Island premiere of this powerful play. Based on the journals of British actress Fanny Kemble (1809-93), playwright Laura Marks portrays a life of a remarkable woman of artistry, curiosity, and humanity. In the 1830\u2019s on a tour in New York City, Fanny falls in love with the charming, wealthy gentleman, Pierce Butler, and happily and willingly gives up her theatrical career to become his wife and soon the mother of his two daughters. Despite his resistance, she wins him over to the notion of leaving Northern society for life on his family plantation in Georgia where who and what she encounters changes her forever. The depth of her understanding of what it means to live off of others\u2019 labor creates a moral dilemma and painful life decision that is the heart and soul of Unbound.

\nPerformances: Apr. 22 through 24 and Apr. 29 through May 1 at 7:30 p.m. and Apr. 25 and May 2 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $16 for general admission, $12 for seniors, 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty\/staff, and $10 for students.<\/p>\n
