  Schenectady Civic Players, the Capital District's longest-running,
  continually operating theater, announces the following five main stage
  productions for its 2013-2014 upcoming 86^th season, opening in
  October at its 12 South Church Street playhouse in Schenectady's
  historic Stockade district.

*MORNING'S AT SEVEN*by Paul Osborn. Directed by Joseph Fava.

*_(Performance Dates: October 18-20 & 23-27, 2013)_*

Cora, Aaronetta and Ida Gibbs have lived next door to each other most of 
their lives and along with Esther, all of the Gibb sisters are an open 
book to each. Husbands not included. Into the fray comes Myrtle Brown, 
perpetually engaged to Ida's son Homer. But Homer can't seem to pop the 
question. Taking matters into her own hands, Myrtle finally gets a 
proposal by compelling Homer to fly the nest. Sort of. This perennially 
charming portrait of small town America fifty plus years ago was revived 
on Broadway in 1980 and in 2002 to critical acclaim."An absolute 
charmer... Four sisters, Chekhov would have smiled. So will you, and 
laugh out loud, too."- /New York Daily News /

*THE SANTALAND DIARIES* by David Sedaris, adapted by Joe 
Mantello.Directed by Duncan Morrison.

*/(Performance Dates: December 6-8 & 11-15, 2013.) /*

An unemployed actor decides to audition for the part of Crumpet the Elf 
at Macy's during the holiday crunch. At first the job is only 
humiliating, but once thousands of children start pouring through 
Santa's Workshop he becomes battle weary and bitter, entertaining us 
with stories of naughty children and pushy parents, empowered elves and 
sloshed Santas. "A delightfully thorny account of working as a Yuletide 
elf at Macy's. Priceless observations, both outrageous and subtle. 
Destined to hold a place in the annals of American humor writing." - 
*/The New York Times/*

*SHERLOCK HOLMES; THE FINAL ADVENTURE*by Steven Dietz.

Based on the original 1899 play by William Gillette and Arthur Conan Doyle.

Directed by Aaron Holbritter.

*/(Performance Dates: January 24-26 & 29-February 2, 2014.) /*

In this spirited, fast-moving and thoroughly theatrical adaptation, Dietz

presents Holmes at the height of his powers surrounded by all the 
elements that fans of

his exploits have come to expect: intrigue, danger, wit, humor and surprise.

"Dietz creates interesting worlds in his adaptations, in this case 
conjuring Victorian England and Holmes' flat at 221B Baker Street. In 
his script, Dietz has crafted enough intrigue, adventure and even 
romance to create a fun evening that moves quickly, and is sure to 
please everyone who joins in the game." */- BackStage/*

*THE UNDERSTUDY *by Theresa Rebeck.Directed by Mark Stephens.

*/(Performance dates: March 21-23 & 26-30, 2014.)/*

Franz Kafka's play is the hilarious setting for Theresa Rebeck's 
exploration of

the existential vagaries of show business.Personal and professional 
lives collide.

"The Understudy delivers a clever indictment of contemporary theatre 
while making the

characters' personal circumstances ever more Kafkaesque. They are no 
more in control of the forces of celebrity, art, money, and Broadway 
than they are of their own fates."-*/The New Yorker/*

***ROOM SERVICE*by John Murray and Allen Boritz.Directed by Chris Foster.

*/(Performance Dates: May 2-4 & 7-11, 2014.)/*

A nimble-witted producer, living on credit in a Broadway hotel, is 
desperately in need of a big hit. By chance and good luck, he finds a 
playwright with a good play and a backer with $15,000. In the course of 
a few short days, he must deal with an odd assortment of actors, the 
hotel manager, the playwright and the angel with the money. "/The 
President, Room Service, Lend Me a Tenor/ and /Noises Off/ are perhaps 
the funniest plays of all time." - */Bennington Banner/*
