    Mornings at Seven, created by Paul Osborn and directed by Sharon Sommermeyer, will open the season in September. In the production, the Gibb sisters Aaronetta, Ida, and Esther share much of their lives together. A situation arises when Homer, Ida's son, seems unwilling to propose marriage to Myrtle Brown. Myrtle, as a result, is forced to take the situation into her control.

    One Acts, created by David Ives and to be directed by Jon Adams, will occur in November. Words, Words, Words will deal with with monkeys, typewriters, and Hamlet. The Universal Language shows Dawn and Don exploring language and love. Ancient History features Ruth and Jack dealing with changes in their relationship nearing marriage.

    Ira Levin's Deathtrap will be Little Colonel's first show of 2011. This production, to be directed by Janet Morris, will deal with a thriller writer who has not been successful as of late. He will soon plot his own way back to success, no matter the cost.

    The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Abridged will continue the season in March 2011. In the production, three actors will attempt to perform all 37 of Shakespeares productions in just over an hour and a half. Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield created the production, which will be directed by Angela Miller.

    Social Security will end Little Colonel Playhouse's season in May 2011. The comedy centers on an art dealer couple's family, which consists of a CPA, an Archetypal Jewish Mother, and a goody goody sister. All three attempt to keep their daughter from living just for lovemaking. The production was created by Andrew Bergman and will be directed by Rick Reinle.
