In this wacky comedy by David Lindsay-Abaire, Claire awakens one
morning as she does every morning - with no memory of the previous events of
her life. A limping, lisping, half-deaf man pops out from under her bed and
claims to be her brother, there to save her. From there, the whirlwind farce
- ultimately involving seven variously dysfunctional folks, doesn't so much
unfold as explode, and every twist and turn in this fun house plot brings Claire
closer to a revelation of her past life. "A crazed energy and Marx Brothers
sense of anarchy, an absurd universe." - Washington Times. Contains adult
language - recommended for mature audiences. Directed by Ron Paoletti.

by A. R. Gurney. Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner
are childhood friends whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party
thank-you notes and summer camp postcards. This exchange of letters continues
throughout the years and for their whole lives. Thus begins one of the most
touching stories of friendship, love and life ever told on stage - full of laughs
and tears. LOVE LETTERS is a perfect Valentine's Day gift and an incredibly
moving evening of theater.."Few plays have been tinier, or more beautiful
than this tender sketch of the bond between two people who cannot live with,
or without, each other....an exquisite jewel of a play..." -Time Magazine "The
love affair of a lifetime.... an exhilarating, funny, moving event..." -The
Wall Street Journal

by William Shakespeare. "If music be the food of love, play on
..." And thus begins one of the Bard's best beloved comedies. We are happy to

A violent shipwreck, identical twins mistaken for each other, honor rewarded,
deceit condemned, and the non-stop capers of love make TWELFTH NIGHT a delightful
spring-time treat.

Guys and Dolls soars with the spirit of Broadway, and is
thought of by many to be the perfect musical comedy. Ben Brantley of the New
York Times selected it as "One of the Unforgettable Productions of the Century."
Set in a New York City of the 40's, this oddball romantic comedy introduces
us to a cast of vivid characters who have become legends in theatrical history:
Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight Mission doll; Sky Masterson, the slick,
high-rolling gambler; Adelaide, the chronically ill nightclub performer; and
Nathan Detroit, desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous floating
crap game. Frank Loesser's bright, brassy, immortal score, takes us from the
heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana. Funny and romantic, Guys And
Dolls is ideal for audiences and performers of any age.
