Proposals
Auditions:
January 11, 12
Richie Lester
Proposals is Neil Simon at his warm, witty best — a charming, heartfelt comedy that wraps you in nostalgia, lifts your spirits, and lets you laugh at the wonderfully chaotic ways people fall in and out of love. With Simon’s razor-sharp, conversational dialogue and his warmly human touch, the story sparkles with playful misunderstandings, tender reconnections, and the kind of breezy humor that leaves audiences grinning without even realizing it.
Set against the intimate, sun-kissed backdrop of a lakeside cottage, the show radiates warmth, romance, and vibrant comedic energy. It’s a delightful reminder that love — in all its messy, magical forms — can surprise us, soothe us, and sometimes completely derail us… in the best possible way.
In short? Come for the laughs, stay for the heart, leave feeling lighter than you arrived. Neil Simon delivers, and Proposals absolutely shines.
