The Kirk Players are excited to announce the lineup of shows for their 45th season of community service.

Leading off is the mystery-thriller, Dial M for Murder, which will be performed for an extended run at the Cuneo Museum and Gardens beginning October 15th. This play became a classic when Alfred Hitchcock brought it to the silver screen starring Ray Milland, Grace Kelly, and Robert Cummings. The stage version is sure to keep you at the edge of your seats set against the picturesque background of the mansion.

In January, we are excited to present Christmas Belles. A church Christmas program spins hilariously out of control in this southern farce about squabbling sisters, family secrets, a surly Santa, a vengeful sheep, and a reluctant Elvis impersonator. This delightful comedy will be presented for three shows beginning January 21st.

Our children’s production this season is The Glass Slipper, a wonderful rendition of the classic Cinderella story with many new characters. Featuring many Kirk Players and guest children performers, this production April 8th-10th will be a joy for all.

We close our 45th season with the romantic comedy, Enchanted April on June 10th and 11th. When two frustrated London housewives decide to rent a villa in Italy for a holiday away from their bleak marriages, they recruit two very different women to share the cost and the experience. There, amongst the wisteria blossoms and Mediterranean sunshine, all four bloom again in ways they could never have expected.

The Kirk Players are very happy to announce that our Annual Banquet and Awards Celebration will be held this year at Lamb's Farm in Libertyville. The banquet will be held on August 21st from
6:00-11:00pm and cost only $25 per person.

The theme of the event this year is "Behind the Mask - A Masquerade Ball". After a delicious buffet dinner, the evening will consist of highlighting our previous season of shows, the presentation of several acting and technical achievement awards, and the recognition of several members who have attained Master Player and A.C.T. (Actor in Community Theatre) status. The celebration is open to all our Kirk Player Members and patrons. It is especially exciting to see so many of our season subscribers at this event.
