America's premier comic playwright makes another hilarious foray into the world of modern relationships. Jake, a novelist who is more successful with fiction that with life, faces a marital crisis by daydreaming about the women in his life. The wildly comic and sometimes moving flashbacks played in his mind are interrupted by visitations from actual females. Jake's women include a revered first wife who was killed years earlier in an accident, his daughter who is recalled as a child but is now a young woman, his boisterous and bossy sister, an opinionated analyst, his current wife who is leaving Jake for another man, and a prospective third wife.

One of the most popular and successful musicals in recent memory, this deliciously goofy revue centers on four young, eager male singers killed in a car crash in the 1950s on the way to their first big concert, and now miraculously revived for the posthumous chance to fulfill their dreams and perform the show that never was.

 
Chaim’s Love Song
By Marvin Chernoff

Beyond sharing a park bench in the middle of Brooklyn, what could a young, homesick teacher from Iowa and a retired Jewish mailman from New York possibly have in common? In this stirring dramatic comedy, Kelly Burke finds herself feeling alienated after following her new husband to Brooklyn for his 9-month-long research trip. Gleaning a bit of comfort in the routine and solitude of sitting on a particular park bench, Kelly is taken aback when Chaim Shotsky sits down and introduces himself. At first, Kelly listens with guarded interest as Chaim recalls a menagerie of loved ones through whom he shares his life story with her. But something about Chaim makes Kelly want to share her life with him, too. Over four days, their ongoing conversation blooms into a love song for life - a heartwarming tale of friendship, hope, survival and triumph.
 
The Nerd
By Larry Shue
Directed by Wally Hinds

August 20-September 19, 2010
Fridays & Saturdays at 8:00 pm
Sunday Matinees at 3:00 pm

This extraordinarily inventive, side-splitting comedy is one of the funniest plays ever written. The action centers on the hilarious dilemma of a young architect who is visited by a man he's never met but who saved his life in Vietnam—the visitor turning out to be an incredibly inept, hopelessly stupid "nerd" who outstays his welcome with a vengeance. "Shue delivers a neatly crafted package that uses some classic comic forms to bring the audience to its knees, laughing."

The balcony between suites becomes a comic causeway with the sausage campaign hanging in the balance. Who IS Tim Billings? Why is that newspaper woman prying about?
