Sunday Matinees 2 p.m., September 26, October 3, 10 & 17

At Last! Here it is folks! The long anticipated bright, delicious new musical. This comic fable about women in a Florida trailer park and their no-good men is the theatrical equivalent of a bag of chips – You Can't Get Enough! Raucous Fun!

Andy Gorsky brings his Jewish Atheist fiancé home to spend the Christmas holidays with his Polish Catholic parents and severely retarded brother, Mickey. Mickey's entire vocabulary thus far has consisted of "Wow" and "Oh Boy", but he suddenly says "Greetings", and a series of extraordinary events ensues. "A comic jewel - stunning and touching, brings a joyful holiday lift to those who would like to believe in miracles..." New York Newsday

Art

by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton

Friday & Saturday 8 p.m., January 28, 2011 – February 19, 2011
Sunday Matinees 2 p.m., February 6, 13, & 20

The Jan. 28 performance of Art is sold out, but tickets are available for other shows during the run.

From beginning to end, Art is a dazzling array of crackling language, and a provocative and profound debate about the rules that dictate art and friendship. The wonderfully distinct characters of the three men that Reza has created may be the best thing about the play. Winner of the 1998 Tony Award for best play and the 1996 Olivier Award for best comedy.

by Arthur Miller

Friday & Saturday 8 p.m., March 25, 2011 – April 16, 2011
Sunday Matinees 2 p.m., April 3, 10 & 17

Two brothers, long estranged, meet at the family residence to dispose of their father's belongings. One, a policeman who sacrificed his dreams to care for their invalid father, the other, a successful surgeon. What follows is a moving scene in which they express their anger, reveal their strengths, weaknesses, and disappointments to each other. This is powerful, brilliant theatre.

Grey Gardens

Book by Doug Wright, Music by Scott Frankel, Lyrics by Michael Korie

Friday & Saturday 8 p.m., May 20, 2011 – June 18, 2011
Sunday Matinees 2 p.m., May 29, June 5, 12 & 19

Grey Gardens brings to life both the delightfully eccentric aunt and the cousin of Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis. Once among the brightest names in the pre-Camelot social register, these women became notorious recluses, living in a broken down mansion. Set in two eras, 1941 and 1973, the musical tells the story of Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter “Little Edie”. Alternately hilarious and heart breaking.

Dancing At Lughnasa

by Brian Friel

Friday & Saturday 8 p.m., July 22 – August 13, 2011
Sunday Matinees 2 p.m., July 31, August 7 & 14

Thought to be Brian Friel’s masterpiece, this brilliant, haunting play is the story of five sisters, one with a 7 year old son, living in a small village in Ireland in 1936. It is the time of the Festival of Lughnasa, which celebrates the harvest with music and dancing. The story is told through the memory of the son, Michael, now a grown man living in the United States. Friel’s tribute to the spirit and valor of Ireland’s past and it’s people.
