The Side Splitting Backstage Farce
by Michael Frayn
Noises Off is a glorious opportunity to watch seven slamming doors, one breaking window, 10 trips up and down stairs and 17 false entrances, while listening to 73 flubbed lines, 46 miscues, one dramatic highlight, 22 double entendres, six regular entendres and a million laughs all while trying to find a missing plate of sardines.
In this play within a play, the audience is treated to the hilarious maneuverings of a cast of itinerant actors performing a dreadful comedy called “NOTHING ON”- Exposing both the offstage shenanigans and onstage bedlam from two perspectives- The Front Stage and Backstage.
Laugh So Hard You'll Cry
by Robert Harling
Take a trip to Truvy’s Beauty Salon and meet the regulars who come for advice, sympathy and most of all, gossip. Steel Magnolias is set entirely in Truvy’s beauty shop, in a small town in Louisiana, where 6 strong southern women meet regularly. They gossip, complain about the men in their lives, poke fun at themselves, and sometimes even fight with each other. But through the good times, and the bad times, they show us the strong bond that women can create with one another and the strength they can gain from each other. Steel Magnolias is as funny as it is emotional.

Based on the play
by Maurine Dallas
Watkins
Murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery, and treachery – the cornerstones of the sultry and alluring Broadway musical hit Chicago. Based on the 1926 play by the same name, Chicago is the story of seductive nightclub dancer Roxie Hart, who finds that the road to fame can be a trail of blood. Throw in a cunning lawyer and a bit of razzle-dazzle and Roxie goes from cold-hearted killer to the toast of the town. With the right song and dance, you can get away with murder.
Scrooge and Marley
by Israel Horovitz
Famous the world over, the ghostly but ultimately heart-warming story of Ebenezer Scrooge, and his change of heart towards Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim and the rest is known well enough by all to need no description. Israel Horovitz’s adaptation of the classic Dickens tale follows the original closely, but, in bringing it to life on the stage, adds the ghost of Jacob Marley in a narrative role, observing Scrooge’s failings or progress, making colorful observations and arranging for new shocks to his partner’s system. The end result is a delightful evening of theatre for people of all ages.
