Covedale Center for the Performing Arts Presents
By Herman Wouk January 26 – February 19, 2012
The Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about a Navy court martial in World War II has been adapted by the author into a suspenseful evening of theatre. A young lieutenant has relieved his captain of command in the midst of a typhoon on the grounds that the captain, Queeg, is a psychopath in crisis and would have sent the ship and its crew to their destruction. Naval tradition is against the lieutenant, but testimony eventually reveals a devastating picture of Queeg's mental disintegration. Greg Procaccino, Director; Erin Meyer, Stage Manager
This production is dedicated to Joe Acito, a long-time literature teacher at Elder High School who passed away in 2011. He loved the theatre and could talk about it for hours at a time. He was a great friend of the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts. Caine Mutiny Court-Martial is based on the novel The Caine Mutiny by Herman Wouk, a book Joe taught and knew well. The book won the 1952 Pulitzer Prize. The play has become a classic in the courtroom drama genre. The characters are real, flawed, serious, funny and intensely engaged in a battle for truth - a truth upon which men's lives, reputations and honor depended. That is a combination Joe would have loved.

Welcome to Truvy's beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are "anybody" come to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle, the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoo and free advice to the town's rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, an eccentric millionaire; Miss Clairee, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M'Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby is about to marry a "good ole boy." Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few revealing verbal collisions, the play invokes knowing laughter and certain tears when the spunky Shelby risks her life for a child of her own. The realization of mortality affects the others, but also draws on the underlying strength—and love - in these uniquely American women.
Elizabeth Harris, Director; Erin Meyer Stage Manager
