... a non-profit organization, was founded in 1957 by Hilda Freeman for the purpose of bringing theater to the people
of the Attleboros. During its 54 year history, the group has produced such outstanding plays as: The Diary of Anne Frank,
Cemetery Club, A Few Good Men, The Boys Next Door, Crossing Delancey and A Christmas Carol.
To carry out our work, we are fortunate in having a substantial number of patrons who feel the group is doing something
of critical value to the community. We are very grateful for their support, and we earnestly solicit other community
minded citizens to join in our effort.

Mr. 80%, written by James Sherman, is being directed by Jo-Ann Vaughn, her 14th show. Sharon a no-nonsense attorney, and her roommate, Patricia, who is doing her medical residency, advertise for a roommate to help pay the rent of their New York apartment. After a sour experience with Sharon's former live-in boyfriend, the two decide to place an ad and specify either another woman or a gay male only. Seeing the ad, and desperate for an apartment, Sam, a struggling young comic, who, with his partner, Jan, decide to pose as a homosexual couple in hopes of getting the apartment. The fact that Sharon and Patricia are taken in by the ruse leads to a series of hilarious misunderstandings, made even funnier by the swishy high-jinks of the two attractive and decidedly heterosexual young men. This show is filled with inventiveness, nonstop hilarity and, in the end, a redeeming touch of genuine warmth and humanity.
