Langhorne Players
Langhorne Players is a non-profit volunteer community theater company that produces unusual, thought-provoking works meant to stimulate
post-performance dialogue. Open auditions are held
for each show and we enthusiastically welcome new
volunteers and talent.
Audience members enjoy an intimate theater experience in a comfortable. air-conditioned venue. Our
lobby gallery displays works from local artists, part of
Langhorne Player’s Community Outreach program.
And of course, during intermission you’ll be treated
to complimentary (donations always welcome) soft
drinks and snacks, including our signature cheese curls.
Productions take place in the historic, 200-year-old
Spring Garden Mill in Tyler State Park. The theater is
at 1440 Newtown-Richboro Road (Rte. 332), just west
of Newtown Middle School and accessible from the
Newtown bypass, Second Street Pike (Rte. 232) and
Holland Road. The theater is wheelchair-accessible.
Beauty Queen of
Leenane
The perfect melding of Bucks County charm and family dysfunction.
Come join us for an evening that is by turns endearing, ridiculous,
and surprising – but never dull. Crazy siblings, a cleaning woman who can predict the future, an aging starlet and her boy-toy,
all honed to a fever comedic pitch that will no doubt have Anton
Chekhov rolling over in his grave. We won’t spoil the fun, but the
costume party alone is worth the price of admission. Winner of the
2013 Tony Award for Best Play.
Red by John Logan
May l29, 30, 31, June 4, 5, 6, 7, l10, 11, 12, l13
An intense study of a brilliant mind that immerses viewers in the
“texture of thoughts.” Red follows renowned expressionist Mark
Rothko as he executes a series of murals that in 1958 represent
the biggest modern art commission in history. The play follows the
evolving tension between Rothko and his young assistant that culminates in what Dramatists describes as “the agonizing possibility
that his crowning achievement could also become his undoing.” A
portrait of intense retrospection, ambition and vulnerability, and
an exhilarating explosion of activity and paint, that you won’t soon
forget. “John Logan sends American abstract expressionist painter
Mark Rothko into battle with his demons…and the artist’s howls are
pure music.” (Variety) Winner of six Tony Awards.
Good People
by David Lindsay-Abaire
July l10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19, l22, 23, 24, l25
Margie, barely covering last month’s bills with this month’s paycheck,
has lost yet another job. Facing eviction, she places her hopes on an
old fling who’s made it out of her South Boston neighborhood – but
is the guy confident enough to face his humble beginnings? With
unique style and appealing characters, Lindsay-Abaire explores the
“struggles, shifting loyalties and unshakeable hopes that come with
having next to nothing in America” and asks whether it’s character,
or just being in the right place at the right time, that determines our
fates. Lindsay-Abaire is the Pulitzer-winning playwright of Rabbit
Hole, and his Good People received two nominations including Best
Play in 2011.

Speed-the-Plow by David Mamet
August l14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 28, l29
The original production starred Joe Mantegna, Ron Silver and Madonna in dissecting – well, maybe vivisecting – corrupt Hollywood
culture. Two producer/friends are reaching for the “Big Time,” pitching a new script with a big star already on board, to a major studio.
Their efforts get sidetracked when they wager over the seduction
of a temp/secretary. She sleeps with one of them to advance her
own interests in another project – an “apocalyptically spiritual novel” with no screen potential. The New York Times called Speed-thePlow “hilarious and chilling” and the New York Post chimed in with
“wonderful, dazzling, brilliant.”

Breaking the Code
October l2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, l14, 15, 16, l17
Breaking the Code is based on the true story of famed mathematician and computer science pioneer Alan Turing, who “cracked” the
German Enigma code during World War II, not knowing he’d fight a
much harder personal battle at home. An elegant and moving tour
de force, Hugh Whitemore’s play is about a brilliant and expansive
spirit who died early, alternately overlooked and vilified. Turing was
unable to receive public recognition for his work because it was too
far ahead of its time and conducted under a veil of wartime secrecy. Yet he was vilified by that same public when he was caught up
in a homosexual scandal, in the midst of Cold War paranoia that
considered anyone different to be the enemy.

Langhorne Players is pleased to continue our
highly popular Talk Back series for our audience.
After the Wednesday performance of each show,
the actors and director will take time to discuss
the play, the characters, the production, and even
talk about Langhorne Players “behind-the-scenes.”
There is no talk back for Speed-the-Plow.
Audience members can participate in the dialogue
by asking questions and offering opinions, or
simply sit back and listen. Come join us after
our Wednesday evening performances for some
entertaining and enlightening conversation.
