2024-25 Season

Opening Night is Friday, November 1, 2024

The Lion in Winter  is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com.

Sibling rivalry, adultery, and dungeons — The Lion in Winter,  by James Goldman, is a modern-day classic. Comedic in tone, dramatic in  action — the play tells the story of the Plantagenet family, who are  locked in a free-for-all of competing ambitions to inherit a kingdom.  

The queen, and wealthiest woman in the world, Eleanor of Aquitaine, has  been kept in prison since raising an army against her husband, King  Henry II. Let out only for holidays, the play centers around the inner  conflicts of the royal family as they fight over both a kingdom and King  Henry’s paramour during the Christmas of 1183. 

The Lion in Winter features Jamie Couch as Henry, Candyce Wagnon as Alais, Cristóban Morones as John, Kevin Helmer as Goeffrey, Todd Phillips as Richard, Roz Couch as Eleanor, and Jason Couch as Phillip.  

The play will be directed by Bill Small.
