More about our season:
A Few Good Men, a contemporary American drama by Aaron Sorkin, is being
presented November 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 17 & 18, 2017. This Broadway hit about
the trial of two Marines for complicity in the death of a fellow Marine at
Guantanamo Bay sizzles on stage. The Navy lawyer, a callow young man more
interested in softball games than the case, expects a plea bargain and a
cover up of what really happened. Prodded by a female member of his defense
team, the lawyer eventually makes a valiant effort to defend his clients
and, in so doing, puts the military mentality and the Marine code of honor
on trial. "Enormously entertaining." - New York Daily News 

 

Nunsense, a nunsensical musical comedy will be presented February 2, 3, 9,
10, 16, 17, 18, 23 & 24, 2018. Written by Dan Goggin, and Winner of four
Outer Critics Circle Awards, including Best Off Broadway Musical, Nunsense
begins when the Little Sisters of Hoboken discover that their cook, Sister
Julia, Child of God, has accidentally poisoned 52 of the sisters, and they
are in dire need of funds for the burials. The sisters decide that the best
way to raise the money is to put on a variety show, so they take over the
school auditorium, which is currently set up for the eighth grade production
of "Grease." Here we meet Reverend Mother Regina, a former circus performer;
Sister Mary Hubert, the Mistress of Novices; a streetwise nun from Brooklyn
named Sister Robert Anne; Sister Mary Leo, a novice who is a wannabe
ballerina; and the delightfully wacky Sister Mary Amnesia, the nun who lost
her memory when a crucifix fell on her head. Featuring star turns, tap
dancing, nun ballet, an audience quiz, and comic surprises, this show has
become an international phenomenon. 

 

The Producers, a Mel Brooks' musical comedy with a truly hysterical book
co-written by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan (Annie) and music and lyrics by
Brooks, sets the standard for modern, outrageous, humor and unrivaled good
times. Running April 27 & 28, May 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 20, 25 & 26, 2018,
it is a truly "boffo" hit, winning a record twelve Tony Awards (including
best musical) and wowing capacity crowds night after night. Max Bialystock,
the one-time king of Broadway producers hungry to strike it rich, and Leo
Bloom, an accountant with dreams of someday becoming a theatre producer,
discover that they could get richer by producing a flop than a hit and start
by finding the worst show, worst director, and worst actors. When their new
production, "Springtime for Hitler," turns out to be a smash success, the
plan is thrown off and the partners lives are thrown into chaos
