Directed and Choreographed by Marc C. Howard

/The Drowsy Chaperone/ is the Tony Award winning homage to American 
musicals of the Jazz Age, examining the effect musicals have on the fans 
who adore them.

A modern day musical theater addict known simply as "Man in Chair", 
seeking to chase his blues away, drops the needle on his favorite LP -- 
the fictional 1928 musical comedy "The Drowsy Chaperone".

 From the crackle of his hi-fi, the musical magically bursts to life 
on-stage telling the tale of a pampered Broadway starlet who wants to 
give up show business to get married, her producer who sets out to 
sabotage the nuptials, her chaperone, the debonair groom, the dizzy 
chorine, the Latin lover and a pair of gangsters who double as pastry 
chefs. Man in Chair's love of "The Drowsy Chaperone" speaks to anyone 
who has ever been transported by the theater.

*Starring: *Alexandria Marzullo, Brenda Willis, Clayton Minder, Don 
Bernardo, Eric Oswald, Jerry Schaber, John Hickman, Laurel Bryant, Libby 
Merriman, Lisa Tarr, Mark Moore, Mark Snyder, Michael Rogan, Ryan 
Bernstein, Suzanne Davis, Tina Burgett-Krause and Tom Boehringer.

Directed by Eric Oswald

Starring Steve Ryan and Linda Ryan

D.L. Coburn's Pulitzer prize winning /The Gin Game/ is about a woman in 
her twilight years, Fonsia Dorsey (Linda Ryan), who enters a "home for 
the aged" and is for a while saved from melancholy by the crusty charm 
of Weller Martin (Steve Ryan). The sardonic Weller cajoles Fonsia into 
playing a series of games of Gin on the home's sunlit porch. As they 
seemingly become close companions, much is revealed about their 
respective regret-filled lives -- to the steady shuffling and playing of 
cards. Their mutual need for solace is momentarily satisfied, until 
Weller's pent-up rage, and Fonsia's subtle needling, build to a terrible 
confrontation.

** On Thursday, April 19th, at 8pm* we are hosting a special sneak 
preview of /The Gin Game/ as a fund raiser for the *National Breast 
Cancer Foundation*. $25 a seat. Tickets for this special performance are 
AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR ONLY and will not be pre-sold. All proceeds that 
evening will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Thank 
you for helping us in the fight against breast cancer!
