*Actors’ Summit Theater  presents*

*The 2015-2016 Season:*

*Quilters**   Oct. 8 -- Nov. 1, 2015   **Quilters*  a play with music,
blends a series of related scenes into a rich mosaic which captures the
sweep and beauty, the terror and joy, the harsh challenge and abiding
rewards of frontier life. First presented at Actors’ Summit in 2009,
Quilters depicts the lot of women on the frontier. The stories are based on
first person oral histories.  They share the love, warmth, rich and lively
humor, and the moving spectacle of simple human dignity and steadfastness
in the face of adversity.  *(This production coincides with the Summit
County Historical Society Mutton Hill Quilt Show at the John S. Knight
Convention Center.)*

*Guys On Ice*   *Nov. 25 -- Dec. 22, 2015 * Comedy, fishing stories, music,
laughter, and a “Half-time” show! *Guys On Ice* is one of our most popular
shows, and great fun for the whole family!  Lloyd and Marvin brave the cold
as they dream big dreams about catching big fish, while enjoying the simple
pleasures of a fishing-pole and a warm snowmobile suit, all the while
hoping Ernie the Moocher won’t stop by!

*Same Time, Next Year**   Jan. 21 -- Feb. 7, 2016  *One of the most popular
romantic comedies of the century, *Same Time, Next Year* ran four years on
Broadway, winning a Tony Award for actress Ellen Burstyn. In 2014 Tony
Award winning actress- Phylicia Rashad and Kenny Leon starred in the True
Colors Theater production in Atlanta. It remains one of the world's most
widely produced plays. The plot follows a love affair between two people,
Doris and George, married to others, who rendezvous once a year.
Twenty-five years of manners and morals are hilariously and touchingly
played out by the lovers.

*Chiapatti**   Feb 25 – Mar. 13, 2016   Northeast Ohio premiere *Romance is
a distant memory for two lonely animal-lovers living in Dublin. When
forlorn Dan and his dog Chapatti cross paths with the amiable Betty and her
nineteen cats, an unexpected spark begins a warm and gentle story about two
people re-discovering the importance of human companionship.

*Tally’s Folly*   *April 14 **-- May 1, 2016 *  *Tally’s Folly *deals with
the courtship of the young Sally Talley and her Jewish suitor, Matt
Friedman.  Written by Lanford Wilson this play, set in Lebanon Missouri in
1944, deals with  definably American themes. A warm, rich, love story  to
savor and cheer.

*Tintypes * *May 19 -- June 19*, *2016  *Tintypes is a tune-filled  musical
melting pot; the Great American Songbook come to life. It offers snapshots,
of America in its last Age of Innocence. This TONY nominated, nostalgic,
musical revue takes us back to turn of the 19th century America and is a
brew of popular songs from 1890 to 1917. It’s the era of  Charlie Chaplin
and Teddy Roosevelt. It features along list of great American tunes. —“Hot
Time in the Old Town Tonight,” “Meet Me In St. Louis;” “Yankee Doodle Boy,”
