About Man of La Mancha
Staged during the Spanish Inquisition, Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra - a
soldier whose life was a long series of failures, disappointments and
disasters - shares stories that regardless are brimming with hope, love,
humor and humanity.  Man of La Mancha is not an adaptation of Don Quixote,
but "a tribute to the spirit of his creator" writes playwright Dale
Wasserman.

About Cherry Docs
A neo-Nazi skinhead, who is charged with murder, and a Jewish attorney, who
is assigned to defend him, must confront and come to terms with their own
prejudices.  This stark drama is an unblinking examination of the explosive
effects of hatred - troubling, touching and convincing.  The Toronto Star
called it "...a provocative exploration of the inescapable and insidious
presence of hatred in our society."  This performance is for mature
audiences only.

About The Chosen
This award-winning adaptation from the novel is the story of two boys, two
fathers and two very different Jewish communities - "five blocks and a world
apart".  As childhood friends Reuven and Danny grow to manhood, they are
forced to learn important lessons about each other, their fathers and
themselves.  A story of friendship, family and difficult choices that lead
to the path to understanding, respect and reconciliation.

About A...My Name Will Always Be Alice
A compilation of the best of the two previous "Alice" plays, this
sophisticated, bawdy, funny and insightful five-woman musical revue
celebrates the pleasures and frustrations of growing up female.  The music,
poetry and comic sketches will be sure to remind you of yourself, your
mother, or another woman in your life.  Winner of the Outer Critics' Circle
Award for Best Musical.  "Delightful. . .the music and lyrics are so
sophisticated that they can carry the weight of one-act plays." - The New
York Times
