Second Street Players Announces its 2020 Season of Shows
Second Street Players, located at Riverfront Theater, 2 S. Walnut Street, Milford, Delaware, proudly announces its five Main Stage shows for its 40th anniversary season in 2020.
Second Street Players offers something for everyone next year with its featured Main Stage productions, ranging from side-splitting comedies to a Tony-winning musical to a thought-provoking drama to a heart-warming holiday standard. The 2020 season's four Main Stage shows (with performance dates) are:
Moon Over Buffalo (JAN 31, Feb. 1, 2; 7, 8, 9). This madcap screwball comedy by Ken Ludwig, about the larger-than-life personalities that inhabit the world of the theatre, was nominated for two Tony Awards when it ran on Broadway. In the play, George and Charlotte Hay, two fading stars of the 1950s, are performing onstage in Buffalo, NY, their marriage on the rocks after George’s dalliance with a young ingenue. Then they learn that famed director Frank Capra is coming to town to see their show and may cast them in his next movie. Unfortunately, everything that can go wrong onstage does go wrong as hilarious misunderstandings and backstage shenanigans pile upon each other.
Caught in the Net (JUN 19, 20, 21; 26, 27, 28). Ray Cooney's hilarious, fast-paced sequel to Run for Your Wife (Second Street's Fall 2019 show), finds the bigamist taxi driver John Smith still keeping his two families in different parts of London, both happy and blissfully unaware of each other. However, his teenage children, a girl from one family and a boy from the other, have met on the Internet and are anxious to meet in person since they have so much in common! Keeping them apart plunges John into a situation that quickly spirals out of control as the kids' dad juggles outrageously with the truth.
The Best Man (SEP 11, 12, 13; 18, 19, 20). Two presidential front-runners – a principled statesman and a candidate of the people – vie for their party's nomination at the summer National Convention. Both fight for the support of the popular former president and ultimately resort to vicious mudslinging in a very nasty and public contest. Written in 1960, Gore Vidal's Tony-winning drama was revived on Broadway in 2000 and again in 2012 and is still just as timely and sharp-witted today.
Oliver! (NOV 27, 28, 29, DEC 4, 5, 6 and 11, 12, 13). This Tony-winning musical, based on Charles Dickens' novel, Oliver Twist, is widely hailed as a true theatrical masterpiece. The streets of Victorian England will come to life as Oliver, a malnourished orphan in a workhouse, becomes the neglected apprentice of an undertaker. The boy escapes to London and finds temporary acceptance with a group of petty thieves and pickpockets led by the elderly but sinister Fagin. Oliver! won three Tony Awards and features such memorable songs as “Consider Yourself,” “As Long As He Needs Me,” and “Food Glorious Food.”
