15-Minute Hamlet is Tom Stoppard's version of Shakespeare's work in fifteen minutes. The play includes all the well-known scenes and lines while cutting out a majority of the action.

Well-known characters and popular ghosts inhabit Lee Blessing's hilarious farce that begins where William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" left off. "Shakespeare himself would have loved it."

LEND ME A TENOR! A farce by Ken Ludwig Directed by Larry Pizza and Kim Cassetta

Nominated for seven 1989 Tony Awards and six Drama Desk Awards, this delightful farce follows the trials and tribulations of Henry Saunders, a hapless Cleveland opera impresario trying to ensure the old theater ethic, “the show must go on.” Through a variety of errors, a visiting opera star, Tito Merelli (aka “Il Stupendo”) is thought to be dead, and a fledging opera singer, Max, is unwillingly thrust into the limelight. Confusion reigns when Maggie, Max’s fiancée, an opera society matron, Julia, and the designing local operatic hopeful, Diana, all throw themselves at both the real and the imitation Il Stupendo while trying to stay clear of Tito’s jealous wife, Maria.

HAVE A NICE DAY ! The '70s Musical Flashback conceived, written and arranged by Rick Lewis Directed by William McGregor

HAVE A NICE DAY! is a not too subtle spoof of "Up with People," the incredibly conservative youth organization that swept across high school and college campuses during the 60's and 70's. Kitt, Lori Ann, Ronda, Holly and Brian are on the final farewell performance of HAVE A NICE DAY, having spent the better part of the last five years "helping America smile!" Performing songs from 1968 through 1974 (the Nixon years...) the group brings life to a lot of songs we thought we forgot! HAVE A NICE DAY! is a musical piece of psychedelic bubblegum!

Spring 2009

The Elephant Man By Bernard Pomerance Directed By Michael Curtiss

Winner of every major award for drama, this enthralling, ravishingly theatrical play chronicles the life of John Merrick, the deformed 19th century carnival attraction who became an urbane and clever favorite of Victorian society. His dream of recognition as a man like any other propels a quest for acceptance and equality that touches the heart of the human experience.
