VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE
by Christopher Durang
Tony Award-winning playwright Christopher Durang delivers a hilariously dysfunctional family comedy with "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike." Siblings Vanya and Sonia lead quiet, unfulfilled lives in their childhood home until their glamorous movie star sister, Masha, arrives with her much younger, dim-witted boy toy, Spike. What follows is a riotous collision of Chekhovian ennui, modern anxieties, and absurd humor. This brilliant play is a witty, poignant, and wildly entertaining exploration of family, aging, and the search for happiness.

RUTHLESS! the musical
Book & Lyrics by Joel Paley
Music by Marvin Laird.
This darkly hilarious, over-the-top cult classic is where Gypsy meets The Bad Seed. The story centers on eight-year-old Tina Denmark, a talented aspiring starlet who is willing to commit spectacular acts of mischief and murder to land the lead role in her school play. RUTHLESS! is a savage and sparkling satire that gleefully skewers every backstage melodrama and stage mother trope. With dazzling plot twists and show-stopping numbers, it's a wickedly smart comedy that guarantees a night of unforgettable, theatrical mischief.

A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE
Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, Music by Stephen Flaherty, Book by Terrence McNally
From the acclaimed creators of Ragtime, "A Man of No Importance" is a charming and poignant musical about Alfie Byrne, a bus conductor in 1964 Dublin who lives for poetry, particularly that of Oscar Wilde, and secretly stages amateur theatricals with his local church group. As he attempts to put on Wilde's Salomé, Alfie's quiet life is stirred by the arrival of a beautiful new passenger and the challenges of his own unspoken desires. This beautiful musical is a tender celebration of art, self-acceptance, and the courage to live authentically, even when it feels like you're a man of no importance.
