A Flea in Her Ear by Georges Feydeau adapted by David Ives
December 3, 4, 5, & 6, 2008, at 7:30PM December 7, 2008, at 3:00PM
This is the greatest of French farces, perhaps the greatest farce ever written. Winner of a 2006 Jefferson Award for best adaptation. “Ives’ adaptation maintains the original’s dazzling plot while communicating Feydeau’s playful use of language to an American audience.” —BackStage. “…[a] crisp, delightfully ridiculous translation…” —Time Out (Chicago). “…a hilarious evening of classic comedy.” —Chicago Critic. |

Timon of Athens by William Shakespeare
March 12, 13, & 14, 2009, at 7:30PM March 15, 2009, at 3:00PM The buzz about Athens is that Timon is a very generous man. If you give him a gift he will triple it’s worth back to you. For that reason, all of Athens flocks to Timon to present him with paintings, poems, and worldly gifts. Timon enjoys giving selflessly to his friends and acquaintances regularly and helping them any way he can. But what happens when he is the one in need of help? Shakespeare’s Timon of Athens explores what can happen to and within a man when his friends desert him. Come and join us for this tragic Shakespearean tale.

Lucky Stiff book/lyrics by Lynn Ahrens music by Stephen Flaherty
May 1, 2, 7, 8, & 9, 2009, at 7:30PM May 10, 2009, at 3:00PM
The authors of Once On This Island, My Favorite Year, Ragtime and the animated film Anastasia explode on the musical theatre scene with this zany, offbeat, and very funny murder mystery farce about an unassuming English shoe salesman forced to take the corpse of his recently-murdered Atlantic City croupier uncle on a week-long vacation to Monte Carlo. Should he succeed, Harry Witherspoon stands to inherit $6,000,000. If not, the money goes to the Universal Dog Home of Brooklyn. |
