Crimes of the Heart
–
Fredericksburg Theater
Lunch on Your Own
Sunday, April 12, $50 pp
Depart SCPL 9:30 a.m.; Return 7 p.m.
Known for “Off Broadway
Experience in the Charm of the Hill Country,”
Fredericksburg Theater Company presents
Crimes of the Heart
, a story about the ties that
bind and the ties that lead to crimes of passion.
The story begins in a small Mississippi town where the three
Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of their dying
grandfather. Lenny, the oldest, is unmarried and has no prospects
on the horizon. Meg, the middle sister, is back after a failed
singing career, and Babe, the youngest, is out on bail after
shooting her husband. Their troubles, grave and yet somehow
hilarious, are highlighted by their priggish cousin Chick and
by the young lawyer who is trying to keep Babe out of jail while
helplessly falling in love with her. Winner of the 1981 Pulitzer
Prize, the big-hearted, zany, imaginative production will linger
in your mind long after the curtain comes down.
Before the matinee, there will be time for lunch on your own
and shopping in downtown Fredericksburg. Following the show
we will make a stop at Wild Seed Farms for drinks and treats.
Ticket cost includes transportation and matinee.

The Last Five Years
– Penfold Theater –
Austin
Thursday, April 9, $40 pp
Depart SCPL 6:15 p.m.; Return 10:30 p.m.
The Last Five Years
is a play that received
critics’ acclaim as “flawless,” “the sort of
production that audiences are lucky to see
– unique, intimate, beautiful, painful, and
wonderful,” “a piecewith feeling, sophistication,
and great entertainment value,” and one in which “every
disappointment registers in vivid, personal detail.”
This is the musical story of the five-year relationship between
Jamie, a rising novelist, and Cathy, a struggling actress, who
get married and discover that their passions and priorities often
collide. In an interesting form of presentation, Cathy tells her
story starting at the end andworking toward the beginning, and
Jamie tells his story from the beginning working toward the
end. The only time the two players directly interact is during
their wedding song when their timelines intersect. The small
venue of the Penfold allows us to respond to the characters as if
we know them personally.
Ticket cost includes transportation and play. Only 25 tickets will
be sold for this special evening.
