The Celebration Company at the Station Theatre is pleased to announceSummer at the Station 2015: A Minister’s Wife directed by Stephen Fiol June 4-20 A Minister’s Wife, a musical based on George Bernard Shaw’s Candida, is set in London in the swirl of a love triangle among an admired Socialist clergyman, his strong-willed and beautiful wife, and an idealistic young poet who aims to win her love. The Wall Street Journal called it “The most important new musical since The Light in the Piazza.” Mary's Wedding by Stephen Massicotte directed by Timothy O’Neal July 2-18 The Station Theatre's production of this wartime love story commemorates the 100th anniversary of WWI. The action takes place in a dream that Mary has on the night before her marriage to her young soldier, Charlie. The dream story takes us from the prairies of Alberta to war-bound troop ships to the trenches of France and back again before Mary can awaken on the morning of her wedding day and prepare to set forth on the next stage of her journey. Hay Fever by Noel Coward directed by Tom Mitchell July 30-August 15 Hoping for a quiet weekend in the country with some guests, David Bliss, a novelist and his wife Judith, a retired actress, find that an impossible dream when their high-spirited children Simon and Sorel appear with guests of their own. A houseful of drama waits to be ignited as misunderstandings and tempers flare. With Judith's new flame and David's newest literary 'inspiration' keeping company as the children follow suit, the Bliss family lives up to its name as the 'quiet weekend' comes to an exhausting and hilarious finale worthy of Feydeau. The New York Times called it "An evening of intoxicating escape."
