a musical

by Eric Rockwell and Joanne Bogart

September 5-23, 2007

This hilarious satire of musical theatre takes one story about an ingénue who can't pay the rent and is threatened by her evil landlord, and transforms into five delightful musicals, each written in the distinctive style of a different master of the form: Rodgers and Hammerstein (Oklahoma), Stephen Sondheim (Sweeney Todd), Jerry Herman (Hello, Dolly!), Andrew Lloyd Webber (Phantom of the Opera) and Kander & Ebb (Chicago). All are lovingly spoofed in this valentine to musical theatre. An Off-Broadway hit of the 2005 season.

"Witty! Refreshing! Juicily merciless!"

a musical

by Stuart Ross

November 7- 25, 2007

A holiday sequel to the mega-hit Forever Plaid, our favorite four-part 1950s harmony group (Jinx, Smudge, Frankie and Sparky) tune their heavenly harmonies on holiday songs and carols, and perform a hilarious tribute to The Ed Sullivan Christmas Spectaculars featuring the Rockettes, the Chipmunks and The Vienna Boys Choir. Topping it off is the boys' spirited montage, A Plaid Caribbean Christmas, which puts the "Day-O" in Excelsis! Their charming and tuneful holiday entertainment is perfect for the whole family!

"Plaid Tidings, the Christmas version of the popular musical Forever Plaid, is a perfect show to get you into the mood for the holidays."
- Las Vegas Sun

a drama

by John Patrick Shanley

January 16-
February 3, 2008

Winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for drama and 2005 Tony Award for Best Play, this is a powerful parable about paranoia and pedophilia in the Catholic Church. Set in a parochial school in the Bronx in 1964, the play is shaped as a battle of wills between the severe, absolutist Sister Aloysius and the more doctrinally flexible Father Flynn. As Sister pursues her intuition that the priest is molesting a boy in her school, the play presents a balance of conflicting viewpoints through a wrenching exploration of thought and personality. It is a dramatic and provocative study of the tenuous nature of faith and the inconstancy of justice.

"Inspired and extraordinary.a superb new drama."
-- The New York Times

a musical revue

by Joe DiPietro and Jimmy Roberts

March 5-23, 2008

This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum known as "the relationship." Act I explores the journey from dating and waiting to love and marriage, while Act II reveals the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and newborns, trips in the family car and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set. This hilarious revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, to those who have dared to ask, "Say, what are you doing Saturday night?"

"There's something in this show for everyone to recognize and a great deal in it to like."
- The Honolulu Advertiser

"This modern musical comedy is witty, mainstream and consistently entertaining."
- Honolulu Star-Bulletin

a murder mystery

by Agatha Christie

May 14-25, 2008

This superlative mystery (originally titled Ten Little Indians) is about ten people, each with something to hide and something to fear, who are lured to a lonely mansion on Shipwreck Island by a host who, surprisingly, fails to appear. There, they are cut off from everything but each other and the inescapable shadows of their own past lives. One by one, the guests share the darkest secrets of their wicked pasts. And one by one, they succumb to a diabolical avenger. Shrouded in mystery and unexpected turns, the excitement never lets up in this classic whodunit.

a musical

It's the biggest and baddest rock'n'roll musical ever! On the way to visit an old college professor, two clean-cut kids run into tire trouble and seek help at the sight of a light down the road. It's coming from the Frank N. Furter place where the doctor is in the midst of one of his maniacal experiments. What follows is a night of fun, frolics and frivolity with that sweet transvestite and his motley crew of misfits. This deliberately kitschy rock 'n' roll sci-fi gothic is definitely as fun as ever!

"A socko wacko weirdo rock concert." -- WNBC TV

"A musical that deals with mutating identity and time warps becomes one of the most mutated, time warped phenomena in show business."
