Current Season

Back by popular demand! Colonial once again takes our show on the road as we return to Greystone Hall in West Chester for our third annual production of The Manor. A fictionalized reenactment of true events that took place in the 1920s, The Manor is a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience where the mansion itself becomes the stage and the star, and the audience follows the actors through its rooms as the plot unfolds!

A landmark in American drama, Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Our Town tells the story of a small town, Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, in order to tell us the story of every town, the whole world over. Narrated by the “Stage Manager”, we follow the Gibbs and Webb families, residents of Grover’s Corners, through twelve years of life changes.

Mrs. Bob Cratchit's Wild Christmas Binge is a musical comedy written by Christopher Durang, a parody of the Charles Dickens 1843 novel A Christmas Carol. The premise of the parody is the question, "What if Dickens' Mrs. Cratchit wasn't so goody-goody, but instead was an angry, stressed-out modern-day American woman who wanted out of this harsh London 1840s life?"

"The Dining Room," a play by the American playwright A. R. Gurney, Jr., is a comedy of manners, set in a single dining room where 18 scenes from different households overlap and intertwine. Each story is focused on a different family (during different time periods), each of which has in its possession the same dining room furniture set, manufactured in 1898.

A comedic romp into the world of fantasy role-playing games! In this high-octane dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres and 90s pop culture, acclaimed playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.

In this adult bawdy comedy, four senior women try to fight the shrinking economy and their shrinking pocketbooks by opening up a home phone sex service after receiving an unsolicited obscene phone call!

The quickies return for their 22nd year! Take a shot and join us in the Colonial Playhouse staple - a show full of short skits, great people, and PLENTY of laughter.
