Join us this fall for this rarely seen Tony-winner, the Best Musical of 1982. Writen by composer Maury Yeston, who also gave us Titanic and Grand Hotel, and librettist Arthur Kopit (Wings, Phantom of the Opera), this sexy, somewhat surreal story lures us inside the head of Italian filmmaker Guido Contini, whose life is in crisis. Guido's search for answers leads him on a winding path through real and imagined encounters with some of the many women in this past and present. The musical takes a classic foreign film (Fellini's 8½) about a self-indulgent, womanizing film director and re-imagines it into a unique American musical.

Two of the funniest short plays ever written make for a grand night of belly laughs
and chuckles. The Public Eye is a wry twist on the standard
private-eye-tails-unfaithful-wife tale where nothing goes as planned, the follower
becomes the followed, and hilarity waits around each shadowy corner of the plot.
A classic door-slamming-farce, Black Comedy is one of those high-speed, high-energy, hy-sterical romps. When the avant-garde artist, his new fiancee, his old girlfriend!!, his new fiancee's exceptionally traditional father!!!, and a few more crazy characters (and exclamation points) are all thrown together in one apartment during a blackout - absolutely everything than can go wrong does - and in the wackiest ways. This is a truly inventive evening, full of plot twists and complications to boggle the mind, dazzle the eye, and tickle the funny bone.

One of Tennessee Williams' masterworks, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof peels back
the layers of dysfunciton in one complicated Southern family to show us some of what
seethes beneath the surface. The occasion is a family gathering in honor of its
patriarch, Big Daddy, who is celebrating his sixth-fifth birthday - but is also dying.
The family members simultaneously lash out and reach out, in an effort to protect the
secrets they hold, and at the same time get the understanding and love they crave.
The dialogue crackles with energy, the characters are heart-wrenchingly complex, and the
stakes are as high as they get; life, love, self-delusion, self-acceptance.

By William Shakespeare |
In the summer, join us for a magical Mediterranean cruise to the balmy island of Illyria, a fantasy kingdom whose major industry is romance and its chief export hilarity. A perfect summertime treat, Twelfth Night is one of Shakespeare's sunniest comedies, full of fun and high spirits, intrigue and disguise, practical jokes, impractical jokes, pirates, castaways, lords, ladies, courtly vagabonds, comely vixens, and comical valets. Throw in some of the stage's most memorable characters - the winsome Viola, the ludicrous Malvolio, the fiery Maria, and the outrageous Toby Belch - mix in plots, subplots, tricks, and fooling, and you have cooked up the perfect confection for a summer evening - frothy, light, and sweeet.
