Timing is everything, especially for Bernard, an amorous, happy-go-lucky bachelor who is managing to juggle simultaneous engagements to three voluptuous stewardesses who have no idea they are getting triple-timed. The synchronized relationships mesh perfectly until Boeing unveils a new, faster jet and suddenly all three stewardesses are in town at the same time as Bernard's scheme spirals out of control. Performances scheduled April 17-20. photo courtesy of Sherman Community Players

Noah stars Russell Crowe as the Biblical hero tasked with building an ark to save two of every animal from a flood that destroys most of humanity. It's a story that can be filmed pretty straightforwardly given its epic nature. There's no need for director Darren Aronofsky to embellish or deviate, especially given how many viewers will surely be unhappy with any changes that don’t stay true to the source material. And yet the story of Noah goes in some strange directions that some will find offensive, some will find imaginative, but all will find different from what they expect.
