On a quiet Sunday night in October of 1938, the regulars are gathered at Burton Mock’s general store in Shallowford, N.C. The rest of the world is on the brink of war, but these folks are only interested in local gossip until they turn on the radio and learn that the Martians have invaded! They fall hook, line, and sinker for the Orson Wells broadcast and run out to do battle.

Heidi is the story of a little orphan, Adelheid, who prefers to be called Heidi because that name yodels better. She is one of those rare people who bring happiness wherever they go — to her old grumpy grandfather on a Swiss mountain and to little Clara in Germany. But will Heidi ever find happiness for herself? Carol and James direct from an adaptation by his father.

After a six day honeymoon, a new lawyer and his young bride, who is as pretty and addled as they come, move into a new, high rent apartment. The difficulty is, in order to enjoy the charming character of this apartment, one has to climb six wheezing flights. The situation is enough to break the heart and burst the lungs of any stylish young lawyer, and indeed it does. On a night he flatly refuses to join his wife in a barefoot walk through the snow in the park, she kicks him out. But he comes back, not for reconciliation but because he figures that since he’s paying the rent, she should be the one to go.

Concerned with a group of gossipy southern ladies in a small-town beauty parlor, the play is alternately hilarious and touching — and, in the end, deeply revealing of the strength and purposefulness which underlies the antic banter of its characters.
