CHATHAM DRAMA GUILD

CDG 2025 CALENDAR

"Social Security"

by Andrew Bergman

Directed by Pam Banas & Scott Hamilton

June 13 - July 6

Trendy Manhattan art gallery owners Barbara and David Kahn's lives are upended when her Mineola housewife sister, Trudy, deposits their eccentric mother, Sophie, on the couple's doorstep while she and her husband, Martin, head to Buffalo to rescue their promiscuous daughter. Barbara and David introduce Sophie to suave nonagenarian artist Maurice Koenig, who offers to paint her portrait, and soon begins to brighten her life in ways she never expected in her twilight years.

"Moon Over Buffalo"

by Ken Ludwig

Directed by Anna Marie Johansen

August 21 - September 7

It is the summer of 1953, and George and Charlotte Hay, formerly a couple of Broadway stars, have taken their run-down touring company to Buffalo, New York. In Buffalo, they have the intention of running “Cyrano de Bergerac” and “Private Lives” in repertory, all the while grumbling about missed Hollywood opportunities. With a plethora of pratfalls, slamming doors aplenty, and backstage shenanigans, Ken Ludwig’s "Moon Over Buffalo" is a fast-paced, hilarious screwball comedy in the old tradition, a throwback farce, and display the larger-than-life personalities that inhabit the world of the theatre.

"The Dining Room"

by A.R. Gurney

Directed by Scott Hamilton

October 20 - November 2

The play is set in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household, the place where family assembled daily for breakfast and dinner. The action is a mosaic of interrelated scenes - some funny, some touching, some rueful. Each vignette introduces as a new set of people and events; a father lectures his son on grammar and politics, a senile grandmother doesn't recognize her own sons at Thanksgiving dinner, a daughter, her marriage in shambles, pleads to return home and more. Dovetailing swiftly and smoothly, the varied scenes coalesce, ultimately, into a theatrical experience of exceptional range, compassionate humor and abundant humanity.

"Little Women"

by Louisa May Alcott, adaptation by Kevin Cunningham

Directed by Pam Banas

November 20 - December 7

A story that takes place at Christmastime and follows the lives of the four March sisters: Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy. Set in the nineteenth century United States, the sisters navigate challenges, societal expectations, and their own dreams and aspirations. Amidst wartime struggles, they find strength in each other and their mother, Marmee. The story is based on Louisa May Alcott's life and explores themes of family, love and personal growth.
