Hanover Tavern 2007_season:
Smoke on the Mountain
by Alan Bailey and Constance Ray
February 23 – April 29, 2007
Set in the 1930s, this good time bluegrass gospel musical introduces the singing Sanders
family, who perform their traditional and original gospel songs for the members of the
Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Mount Pleasant, NC. Pastor Oglethorpe welcomes the
family to the church, where their individual stories and beliefs are shared during the
concert. With the audience serving as the “congregation,” Smoke on the Mountain lovingly
recreates a delightful and musically unforgettable slice of Americana.
The Odd Couple
by Neil Simon
May 18 – August 5, 2007
The most hilariously mismatched roommates in the history of Broadway comedy are back
at Hanover Tavern in this brand new production of one of America’s favorite comedies.
Last produced by Barksdale in 1973, Neil Simon’s irresistibly funny play tells the story of
two friends (one divorced, the other recently separated) who decide to share an apartment
… with sidesplitting results. Don’t miss the sheer pleasure of rediscovering all over again
the reasons we all first fell in love with The Odd Couple.
Deathtrap
by Ira Levin
September 7 – October 21, 2007
Sidney Bruhl is a middle-aged playwright famous for his oh-so-clever whodunits, but he
hasn’t had a hit in twenty years. When one of his former students sends him the only draft
of a new murder mystery, Sidney devises a plan to ensure his own fortune. Will Sidney’s
scheme lead him back to Broadway? Will the student be the victim of malicious jealousy?
Will Sidney’s wife be able to withstand the horror in her household? Will the eccentric
psychic who is visiting Sidney’s neighbors unearth the nastiness next door? Only one
answer is certain: missing this classic Broadway thriller would be a deadly mistake.
Dames at Sea
Book and lyrics by George Haimsohn and Robin Miller; Music by Jim Wise
November 16, 2007 – January 20, 2008
Book and Lyrics by George Haimshoh and Robin Miller, Music by Jim Wise
Hanover salutes Hollywood in this affectionate, all-singing, all-dancing spoof of the Busby
Berkeley movie musicals of the 1930s. When a Broadway leading lady makes too many
waves on the Great White Way, her new musical is transferred to the deck of a battleship.
The show’s songwriter happens to be a sailor, and this is the only alternative venue he
can find. When life on the high seas doesn't agree with the leading lady either, her
understudy, a talented tap dancer from the sticks, is forced to step in, climbing aboard as a
youngster and disembarking as a star!

-The Richmond Buzz
by Kenneth Lonergan
March 8 - March 31 @ The Firehouse Theatre
One room. One girl. Two boys. Large quantities of a
certain white, powdery substance, in the days before
anthrax became a household word. A darkly comic,
coming-of-age drama set in the Reagan era, Lonergan’
s play depicts two days in the lives of three affluent
Manhattanites wavering on the brink between youth
and adulthood.
