<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Artie Shaughnessy is an aspiring songwriter who works as a zookeeper by day, performs in seedy lounges at night and lives in Queens with his schizophrenic wife, Bananas, much
to the chagrin of his mistress, Bunny. When an old school buddy, now a successful Hollywood movie director, arrives back in town, Artie plans to escape the life he despises. But like many dreams, this promise of glory evaporates amid the chaos of ordinary
lives. <b><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>

<b>March 22 through April 21, 2013</b> on the Mackey Main Stage. Show times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays. There is no performance on Sunday, March 31. Directed by
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";font-weight:normal">Russ Borski</span></strong>,
<em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The House of Blue Leaves </span>
</em>features Equity actors Robert Ellis as Artie and Juliette Regnier as his mentally ill wife, Bananas. “I am thrilled to direct this zany farce,” remarked Borski, “that explores the dark side of the American dream, the humiliation of our dreams, and examines
our collective obsession with celebrity and how we pin our hopes on lives distant from our own.”
