Main Stage
Four productions that will take you from introspection to riotous laughter.
G. I. Jukebox
by Rick Lewis
Through October 28
During WWII, Hollywood stars and starlets made it their duty to entertain "the boys." G.I. JUKEBOX is a night at the Stage Door Canteen. The cast sings some of the best music of the twentieth century, in fabulous four-part harmony arranged by Rick Lewis, creator of The Taffetas. The comedy and music flow fast and furious, from recreations of Abbott & Costello's famous "Who's on First," to the Andrews Sisters and even Spike Jones' hilarious sound effects spectacular "Cocktails for Two." It's a comic and nostalgic musical retrospective of an America we'll never see again!
Act 1 is set in uniform khaki, while Act 2 brings out the tuxedos and gowns.
The musical numbers span big band, swing, and Latin — patriotic, humorous, and nostalgic — 'Moonlight Serenade,' 'I'll Be Seeing You,' and 'In the Mood.'
Affluenza
by James Sherman
March 6 – March 30, 2008
"James Sherman's AFFLUENZA! is an impressive piece of work -- a witty balancing act that gets laughs from age-old human foibles as well as our present age of untrammeled corporate greed." The Kansas City Star. When multi-millionaire, William Moore brings home his new girlfriend, his son and ex-wife are threatened by the potential new heir to the family fortune. Who gets what and who ends up with whom is revealed in this dazzling display of wit and word play.
The Immigrant
by Mark Harelik
April 10 – May 4, 2008
THE IMMIGRANT, subtitled "A Hamilton County Album", is a true story about two Eastern European Jews who immigrated to a small Texas town in 1909. Inspired by his grandmother's photo album, Harelik tells the story of two out of the thousands of Jewish immigrants who ended up in the American Southwest through an immigrant resettlement program. "The Immigrant received a well-deserved standing ovation on opening night at the Mark Taper Forum...superb."
Meshuggah Nuns
by Dan Goggin
May 15 – June 8, 2008
For much needed relaxation our nuns head out to sea on a trip. When everyone becomes seasick but Tevye, the Little Sisters of Hoboken come to the rescue and Fiddler on the Roof will never be the same.
Splinter Series
A more adventuresome experience for theatre-goers.
Maybe Baby, It’s You
by Charlie Shanian and Shari Simpson
November 8 – December 2
"NO 'MAYBE' BABY, IT'S A WINNER
Maybe Baby is smart, funny, adorable."
—New York Post
Maybe Baby, It's You is a comedy about the search for that most elusive of entities, the soul mate, told in a series of eleven vignettes that cover ground from the first kiss to the not-so-golden years of marriage. Maybe Baby, It's You. Or maybe…it isn't.
Fiction
by Stephen Deitz
January 17 – February 11d, 2008
"Everything about the play has an elegance and richness our theater sees too seldom." —Howard Kissel, New York Daily News.
Linda and Michael Waterman are both successful writers, happily married to one another. They thrive on the give and take of their unusually honest and candid relationship. However, when they decide to share their diaries with one another, the boundaries between past and present, fact and fiction, trust and betrayal begin to break down.
