Northfield Arts Guild Season 64:
The Hobbit – presented by Purple Door Youth Theater
(Season ADD-ON)
By J.R.R. Tolkien, Adapted by Patricia Gray
Director: Rachel Haider
February 23-March 3, 2024
Bilbo, one of the most conservative of all Hobbits, is asked to leave his large, roomy and very dry home in the ground in order to set off as chief robber in an attempt to recover an important treasure. It’s the last thing that any sensitive Hobbit would want to do, but great benefit eventually results – not only for Bilbo but for all of the Hobbits.
The Matchmaker
By Thornton Wilder
Director: To be announced
April 19-28, 2024
Before the world fell in love with Hello Dolly!, there was The Matchmaker. Cunning, crafty and thoroughly modern, Dolly Gallagher Levi knows a good catch when she sees one. When the wealthy Horace Vandergelder hires her to find him a wife, Dolly doesn’t need to look far to find his perfect mate. The Matchmaker is an uproarious romp that reminds us to embrace the unexpected in our lives.
The Children’s Hour
By Lillian Hellman
Director: Julianna Skluzacek
June 7-16, 2024
How much damage can one lie cause? Stopping at nothing to get even, a deceitful 1930s boarding school student starts a rumor that the headmistresses, Karen and Martha, are having an affair. The ensuing scandal throws the women’s careers into chaos and pushes relationships to the brink, with devastating consequences for all. The culture of fear and the power of public shaming make this piece startlingly relevant today.
The Merry Wives of Windsor
By William Shakespeare
Director: To be announced
August 2-11, 2024
Sir John Falstaff of Windsor decides to fix his financial woe by seducing the wives of two wealthy merchants. The wives find he sent them identical letters and take revenge by playing tricks on Falstaff when he comes calling. With the help of their husbands and friends, the wives play one last trick in the woods to put Falstaff’s mischief to an end.
