One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
by Dale Wasserman
Directed
by David W. Mitchell
A charming rogue contrives to serve a short sentence in a mental institution rather in a prison. While committed, he clashes with the head nurse, takes over the yard and accomplishes what the doctors has been unable to do;
he makes a presumed deaf and dumb Indian talk.
He
stages a revolt to see the world series, and arranges a rollicking
midnight party with liquor and chippies. For one offense, the head nurse
has him submit to shock treatment. The party is too horrid for her and
she forces him to submit to a final correction...
"Cuckoo is captivating." N.Y. Post. "Scarifying and powerful."
N.Y. Times
October 8-24
Assassins
with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by John Weidman, based on an idea by Charles Gilbert, Jr.
Directed by David W. Mitchell
This most American of musicals lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical "Revusical" that explores the dark side of the American Experience.
From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald,
Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman bend the rules of time and space,
taking us on a nightmarish rollercoaster ride in which assassins and
would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and
in an intense final scene inspire each other to harrowing acts in the
name of the American Dream.

The Love List
By Norm Foster
Directed
by Larry Lewis
Leon and
Bill concoct a list of the top ten best qualities in a mate.
When
this allegedly ‘Ideal Woman’ actually arrives on the scene, the men
quickly learn that their list could use a few revisions.
Be
careful what you wish for--especially in choosing a mate. This old adage
leads to hilarious results in Foster's sparkling new comic hit.
“Sharp, snappy and irresistibly funny.”
“Funny, sophisticated and sexy.”
Join us for another GREAT
Season of Quality theatre at an affordable price!
