Little Shop of Horrors
Book by Howard Ashman
Lyrics by Howard Ashman
Music by Alan Menken
October 3-6, 2007
Sunday, Oct 7th matinee 2:30 p.m.
One of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows of all time, this affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has become a house-hold name, thanks to a highly successful film version and a score by the songwriting team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, who redefined the animated musical film with Disney’s “The Little Mermaid”, “Beauty And The Beast” and “Aladdin.” Charming, tuneful and hilarious, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, “Little Shop Of Horrors” never fails to entertain.
The Musical Comedy Murders Of 1940
By John Bishop
November 14-17, 2007
An ingenious and wildly comic romp which enjoyed a long and critically hailed run both on and Off-Broadway. Poking antic fun at the more ridiculous aspects of "show biz" and the corny thrillers of Hollywood's heyday, the play is a non-stop barrage of laughter as those assembled (or at least those who aren't killed off) untangle the mystery of the "Stage Door Slasher."
The Seagull
By Anton Chekhov
February 20-23, 2008
The classic story about Irina, a middle aged and fading actress; Trigorin, a moderately popular author who realizes that he has failed to achieve greatness, and Irina's muddled and melancholy son who is lovesick over a pretty neighbor named Nina.
The Merry Wives of Windsor
By William Shakespeare
April 23-26, 2008
At the request of the Queen, Shakespeare wrought this farce starring Sir John Falstaff of his HENRY IV plays, here transplanted from the fifteenth to the sixteenth century, where he attempts to seduce two wealthy married women who are a bit too smart for him.
