In the same vein as Shue's previous hit The Foreigner,
this comedy is full of physical humor, sight gags and contemporary wit. The
Nerd revolves around the reunion of a young architect
with the man who saved his life in the war, a man who outstays his welcome with
a vengeance.

This is the latest musical from two time Tony award-winning composer Maury Yeston
(composer of the hit Broadway musical, Titanic). In
The Beginning is a magical, musical re-telling of the "greatest
story never told!" as it delves to discover what
went on "behind the scenes" in the first five chapters of the Good
Book. This delightfully screwball production is filled with cheeky humor and
abiding warmth, yet the dynamic musical score is all you'd expect from this
master of the Broadway musical stage. Roadside is proud to host the world community
theater premiere.

An outrageously comic and musical talent,

American original.

Widely regarded as Brian Friel's masterpiece,
this extraordinary play is the story of five unmarried sisters, one with a young
son, in Ireland in 1936. They yearn for life beyond the simple pleasures of
bilberries, a rare cigarette, and sporadic music from an unreliable radio. Told
through the memory of the son, this touching and lyrical tale focuses on two
short days during the Festival of Lughnasa, when all their lives are changed
forever.
Auditions: Feb 7, 8. Performances: Mar 24,
25, 30, 31, Apr 1, 6, 7.
