UPCOMING PRODUCTIONS:
MOON OVER BUFFALO: Written by Ken Ludwig and directed by Bobbi Weintraub. A madcap comedy in the tradition of Lend me a Tenor. With Frank Capra coming to see them perform in Buffalo, George and Charlotte Hay have one last shot at movie stardom. But, hilariously, everything that can go wrong for the couple does, and mayhem rules. Freewheeling farce at its funniest. Performances October 24th thru November 9th, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00PM, Sundays at 3:00PM.
THE FROG PRINCE:
Based on a tale by The Brothers Grimm. Written by Donald J. Leonard, Jr., music and lyrics by David Reiser, directed by Helene Marshall. A prince is turned into a frog and a princess cannot speak very well -- because they are both under the spell of an evil witch. But have no fear...with the help of some delightful froggy friends all turns out well with a Happy Ending. Performances December 6th & 7th.
THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES: Written by Eve Ensler, directed by Angela Cozzi. The Obie Award-winning play written by Eve Ensler is a riveting series of monologues read by women. Updated with new monologues every year, The Vagina Monologues has been staged internationally and featured on TV in a version produced by HBO. In 1998, Ensler launched V-Day, a global non profit that has raised over $50 million for women's anti-violence groups through benefit performances of the play.
