Learned starred in TV's "The Waltons" and recently toured with On Golden Pond. She and Van Dusen appeared in Southern Comforts — about the development of a December-December relationship between a feisty widow and a crusty widower — earlier this year in Long Beach, CA.

The Falcon troupe's tenth subscription season will also feature two new musical parodies from the Troubadour Theater Company, a West Coast premiere about film-comedy duo Laurel and Hardy and the West Coast premiere of Dissonance.

The season runs Aug. 31, 2011-April 22, 2012. Here's the Falcon season at a glance:
