nick is a single, italian-american guy from new Jersey. his parents retired and moved to Florida. that doesn’t mean his family isn’t still in Jersey. in fact, he sees both sets of his beloved (but annoying) grandparents every Sunday for dinner. When he announces that he’s been offered a dream job that will take him away, the news doesn’t sit so well. how could he betray his family’s love to move to Seattle for a job?

You’ll find humor and tears in this touching yet funny show.

“A hilarious family

comedy that is loaded

with laughs every step of

the way.”

by John murray and allen Boretz Presented by special arrangement with dramatists Play Service, inc., new York

a nimble-witted producer, living on credit with several actors in a Broadway hotel, is desperately in need of a good script. he finds one and, by great good luck, he also secures an angel with $15,000. Over the course of a hectic few days, the producer plays hide-and-seek with the angel who wants to withdraw his financial support, manages to outwit creditors and, at the very last moment, despite ludicrous and unexpected obstacles, manages to mount his play!

farce in all its vintage screwball

glory.”

music and Lyrics by Stephen SondheimBook by James LapinePresented through special arrangement with music theatre international (mti), new York

the Brothers grimm hit the stage with an epic fairy tale about wishes, family and the choices we make. this musical follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the king’s Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break it. everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions will remind us to be careful what we wish for.

Groundbreaking composer

Stephen Sondheim shines

Five years have passed since Bernard declared his love for gabriella in BOeing BOeing and he is planning a romantic weekend with his Parisian mistress while Jacqueline, now his wife, is away. he has invited best friend robert along to provide the alibi. it’s foolproof; what could possibly go wrong? Well... suppose everyone’s alibi gets confused with everyone else’s. an evening of hilarious confusion ensues as Bernard and robert improvise at breakneck speed.

by Fred CarmichaelanY numBer Can die is presented by special arrangement with

SamueL FrenCh, inC.

a hilarious spoof of the mystery plays of the twenties. Four ingenious murders take place in an island mansion as a pair of elderly detectives set to work on their first case. the ever-present storm, the unexpected guests and the missing fortune all add to this inventive—and amusing—whodunit.

Book by mel Brooks & thomas meehanmusic and Lyrics by mel Brooks, based on the 1968 Film by mel BrooksPresented by special arrangement with music theatre international (mti), new York

a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history, thereby bilking their backers (all “little old ladies”) out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit!

enjoy the antics of max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way through finding a show (the gloriously offensive “Springtime for hitler”), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds.

A collection of stories penned by the Master of the Macabre, Edgar Allan Poe. You may likely recognize THE BLACK CAT, THE RAVEN and THE TELLTALE HEART, but you may be delightfully spooked by THE OVAL PORTRAIT, THE SPHINX and THE FACTS IN THE CASE OF MR. VALDEMAR. First presented at the Actors’ Workshop in Ashland, Oregon, PHANTASIES SUCH AS THESE was heralded in Hollywood’s DRAMALOGUE as a “marvelously spooky mélange” and “the perfect prelude” to Halloween festivities.Rated: PG13

A cult novel, a classic film, a quintessential hit of the ‘60s, Benjamin’s disastrous sexual odyssey is brought vividly to life in this After Sunset Studio production.

Suggested for mature audiences only due to adult situations and explicit language. Rated: R

Based on the classic 1989 film, Westerberg High is ruled by a shoulder-padded, scrunchie-wearing junta: Heather, Heather and Heather, the hottest and cruelest girls in all of Ohio. But misfit Veronica Sawyer rejects their evil regime for a new boyfriend, the dark and sexy stranger J.D., who plans to put the Heathers in their place - six feet under.

Suggested for mature audiences only due to adult situations and explicit language. Rated: R
