Players’ 2nd Space Theatre is the laugh-filled comedy, Over the River and Through the Woods. Nick is
a single, Italian-American guy from New Jersey who
has Sunday dinner every week with his four grandparents. All is well until Nick is offered his dream job.
In Seattle. Far away from his beloved – and a little
annoying – grandparents, Frank, Aida, Nunzio and
Emma. They don’t take the news well and begin a
series of schemes to keep Nick in New Jersey, including baiting the trap with the lovely and single Caitlin
O’Hare. Rated G
Opening August 21, Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors is a boisterous comedy which takes place during
one manic day of misadventures. Take one
pair of estranged twins who do not know
the other exists (both called Antipholous)
and one pair of twin servants (both called
Dromio), keep them in ignorance of each
other, throw them into the same city at the
same time and you have the chief ingredients for farcical mix-ups. This wild tale of
mistaken identities and slapstick antics
guarantees a night of rousing, side-splitting
theater for the whole family. Rated G
Tickets are now on sale at the Box Office
or by phone at 266-0660 or 800-371-4747, or

Good Company Players’ production of
the hilarious new musical The Addams Family opens at Roger Rocka’s September 18. The
whole family is here; parents Gomez and Morticia, siblings Wednesday and Pugsley, Uncle
Fester, Grandmama and, of course, Lurch, the
butler.
Based on the hit TV series, the musical features an original story that’s every father’s
nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate
princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen
in love with a sweet, smart young man from a
respectable family. And if that weren’t upsetting
enough, Wednesday confides in her father and
begs him not to tell her mother. Now Gomez
Addams must do something he’s never done
before - keep a secret from his beloved wife,
Morticia. Everything will change for the whole
family on the fateful night they host a dinner
for Wednesday’s ‘normal’ boyfriend and his
parents. Rated PG
Tickets for The Addams Family are now on
sale at the Box Office or by phoning 266-9494 or
