Room Service March 26 – April 3 By John Murray and Allen Boretz Directed by Robert Moss
This comic delight from the 1930s is a real treat for anyone who loves theatre and especially for those who love the people who make theatre. An unscrupulous Broadway producer struggles to find a backer for his new show, which he knows will be a smash hit. Holed up in a Times Square hotel with 19 hungry actors and a ballooning room service bill, he tries to forestall eviction by concocting a series of ever-more preposterous events. A gem from an era of great American comedy. |

The Bald Soprano and The Chairs November 13 - 22 Two by Eugene Ionesco Directed by Rodney Hudson
These master works from theatre of absurd soar to heights of the ridiculous with word-twisting, innovative comedy. Eugene Ionesco is a giant of 20th century playwriting who took all the conventions of the stage and turned them upside down to offer stunning perspectives on theatre and the world it reflects. With a strong sense of the outrageous, Ionesco reminds us that, "The human drama is as absurd as it is painful."
