Now Playing: The Octette Bridge Club
On alternate Friday evenings, eight sisters meet to play bridge, gossip and socialize. Although they appear to be right out of Norman Rockwell Americana, you'll find that they share heaping helpings of hypocrisy and heartbreak along with the coffee cake. A not-to-be-missed evening of laughter and sentimentality. Performances run through May 17. Written by P.J. Barry, Directed by Erica Drezek, Produced by Jo Rake.
Audiences say:
“the show ‘just sparkles’”
“she was deeply moved by the play”
“they've transformed a play with little dramatic conflict into a presentation that keeps the audience’s attention. The actors have reached deeper than in most community theater productions I have seen.”
Opens May 23: The Tempest
Shakespeare's Tempest, as with the rest of his "supernatural" plays, provides a wonderful vessel for evoking that sense of delight, magic, and wonder which can be hard to find in our high-stress, overwhelmingly practical world. The Rudes capture this magic by weaving acting and music together into one story, reinventing Shakespeare's final play as a Celtic musical. Performances run through May 31. Directed by: Arthur Rowan
In Our Gallery: Laurel Art Guild

Logo Contest
After many years in which the familiar green half circle design became associated with The Greenbelt Arts Center, there was a feeling that it was time for a change. As a result GAC is searching for a new logo. They want it to reflect their participation mainly in the performing arts (theater, music, dance) as well as, possibly, in the visual arts (the lobby displays.) They are seeking a striking design that will be used in programs, flyers, posters, the newsletter, website and stationery. The new design will be selected by a GAC committee and all submissions become the property of the Arts Center. Designers are asked to send all submissions to: The Greenbelt Arts Center, P.O. Box 293, Greenbelt, MD 20768-0293
Auditions: Rocky Horror Show
Auditions will be held at the theater on Tuesday, May 27, and Wednesday, May 28 at 7:30pm. Director Jeffery Lesniak is casting 8 men and 5 women over 18 for this famous science fiction musical of seduction and sexual confusion. Prepare a rock-style song not from the show, and come dressed for movement. Rehearsals will begin in late July, performances to run 4 weekends opening on Halloween night.
