Company of Fools will enter its 15th season this July through March 2011 and has loaded the schedule with productions and events.

The company will present "The 39 Steps" from July 6-31. The comedy-thriller was adapted by Patrick Barlow from an original concept by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon. "The 39 Steps" is an acclaimed play that is funny and thrilling and is suitable for ages 9 and over.

The Fools will also present the 1963 Tony Award winner for Best Play, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" by Edward Albee, to be performed Oct. 13-30. The play is an American masterpiece with intense high drama.

From Dec. 14-31, the Fools will perform the comedy "Moonlight & Magnolias" by Roy Hutchinson.

To finish out the season, the Fools will perform "Dead Man's Cell Phone" by Sarah Ruhl from Feb. 16 through March 5, 2011. The play is a poetic fantasy about a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world. Ruhl received the MacArthur "Genius" Grant and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for her play "The Clean House."

In addition, The Second City will perform at the Liberty Theatre Jan. 13-14, 2011.
