Twelve Angry Men

September 5th - 28th 

Starring

Patrick Thiem & Leah Walters

Directed by David W. Mitchell

A contemporary musical that ingeniously chronicles the five year life of a marriage, from meeting to break-up... or from break-up to meeting, depending on how you look at it.

Written by Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Songs For A New World), The Last Five Years is an intensely personal look at the relationship between a writer and an actress told from both points of view.

The show is presented in “forward time” as we follow the story of their relationship from Jamie’s perspective, starting with their first meeting and following through with their wedding and ultimate breakup. At the same time, Cathy relates the story in “reverse” - starting with their breakup and moving backwards in time until their first meeting at the end of the show.

Made up mostly of solo turns, with beautiful music and alternately humorous and heartfelt lyrics, it is only in the middle of the show that Jamie and Cathy come together as Jamie proposes and the two are wed.

Musicals about relationships are nothing new, but The Last Five Years manages to reinvent the familiar formula and offers up one of the brightest, freshest scores of the new century.

Brimming with persistent melodies, throughout lyrics and a heartfelt, compelling story”—Michael Kuchwara, Associated Press

 “Unpredictably heartfelt insights, energized by a seductive, rhythmic drive”—Linda Winer, Newsday

The uproarious sequel to “Run for Your Wife!”

Directed by Larry  A. Lewis

 

Starring

David W. Mitchell as John Smith

and

Dave DiCola as Stanley Gardner

It seems Taxi driver John Smith is at it again! He is still managing his two wives and 2 lives rather successfully; with both families happy and blissfully unaware of each other.

 

 However, his teenage children, a girl from one wife and a boy from the other, have met on the Internet and are

anxious to meet in person since they have so much in

common, particularly a taxi driving dad named John Smith!

 

Keeping them apart plunges John into a hell hole of his own

making. His lodger Stanley could be a savior, but he is about to go on holiday with his decrepit old father who turns up thinking he is already at the guest house.

 

The situation spirals out of control as John juggles

outrageously with the truth.

"Utterly magical ... firework display of knockabout comedy."                                                                             —Spectator.

"A sheer joy from beginning to end."  ---Daily Telegraph.
