<p align="left"><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">One evening in 1964, The Plaids, a quartet of high-school buddies who sang 1950s male harmony in the vein of 'The Four Freshmen' and 'The Four Aces', were on their way to their first big performance at a local hotel, when their car was struck by a bus-load of school girls on their way to see The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show. The quartet's lives and musical careers were put to a swift and ironically metaphorical end. Now, they've been sent back to earth to do the show that they never got to perform! </font></p>
<p align="left"><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Stuart Ross's Forever Plaid was an off-Broadway hit in 1990, which has since become an international sensation. It includes such unforgettable tunes as "Three Coins in the Fountain", "Moments to Remember", "Chain Gang", "Perfidia", "Love is a Many Splendored Thing" and more! </font></p>

<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">From David Mamet, the gritty playwright behind <em>Glengarry Glen Ross</em>, <em>Speed the Plow</em> and <em>American Buffalo,</em> comes a funny and poignant comedy about the relationship between two actors: Robert, an older stage veteran in the declining years of his career, and John, a young, promising actor. The pair experience theatre life – onstage and off – while each learning something about “real life.”</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> In scenes both hilarious and touching, Robert tries to teach John what he thinks John needs to know to make his way as a professional actor. But along the way, we come to understand that Robert also needs to learn how to accept his advancing age and declining abilities with grace, and ultimately “pass the torch” to the younger generations of actors who will follow.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">This backstage view of life in the theatre was made into a film version starring Jack Lemmon and Matthew Broderick. It was first produced in 1977 at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago, and revived there in 2006. F. Murray Abraham starred in the show off-Broadway in 1992. A Broadway revival starring Patrick Stewart is planned for late 2010.</font></p> </td>
