OUR 49th SEASON Continues!
APRIL 18 - MAY 11
Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm
Sundays at 2:00 pm


In a New England town four mentally  handicapped young men are living in a  communal residence. The story of their daily  life is told through the perspective of Jack,  the increasingly “burned out” social worker  who teaches and looks after them. Filed with  humor, the play is also marked by  compassion and understanding. It touchingly  communicates that these four men are like  the rest of us who want to love and be loved  and find some meaning and purpose in the
too brief time we are allotted on earth.

Andersen, known as the “storyteller of Denmark” has achieved world wide fame with his fairy tales over the centuries. He has delighted  children for years with tales such as “The Ugly Duckling”,  “Thumbelina” and “The Little Mermaid”.  We proudly present two of  his other famous stories – “The Snow Queen” and “The Red Shoes”. In  these gentle adaptations, the stories will end with a happily ever after

Theatres all over the nation, including Chautauqua Playhouse have suffered a great loss of income because of  closure during the pandemic.  Now that we are reopened, the attendance has fallen by about 40% since pre-pandemic and you know what has happened to prices for everything. We thank all who have donated  to help keep our theatre afloat, but we are still in need of more income to keep our doors open.  Won't you please consider donating to Chautauqua Playhouse?  Any amount is appreciated and your donation is deductible to the extent of IRS regulations.
