COMPANY
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by George Furth
September 21 - October 1, 2006
Broadway changed forever when Stephen Sondheim's Tony Award-sweeping, revolutionary musical comedy hit the stage. With gorgeous melodies, sharp-witted lyrics, and an innovative script, Company made Sondheim a household name. A bold, unconventional theatre event, this clever portrayal of five married couples-as seen through the eyes of bachelor friend Robert-explores love and commitment, fear and longing, and the simple joy of being alive. Honest, witty and sophisticated, Companyfeatures such classics of the modern musical stage as Another Hundred People, Getting Married Today, and Being Alive.
Angels in America: Millennium Approaches
By Tony Kushner
November 9 - 19, 2006
Angels in America, the Pulitzer Prize-winning epic by Tony Kushner, is a masterful melding of relentlessly harsh realism with intense creative theatrical fantasy that delves into the political, social, racial, religious and sexual issues confronting the country as the AIDS epidemic began during the Reagan years, Driven by fear and hopelessness, a group of strangers, friends, and lovers look for any hope they can find to survive in the face of hopelessness. Recently produced by HBO starring Al Pacino and Meryl Streep, Angels in America is still frighteningly relevant today as we continue to come to terms with the impact of the AIDS crisis growing worldwide.
Adding Machine
By Elmer Rice
March 6 - 11, 2007 (Limited One Week Run)
The Adding Machine is a funny and slightly nightmarish look at advancing technology and its effect on human relationships. The play chronicles the life of Zero, a hapless cog spinning aimlessly in the corporate world. His career as an accountant at a behemoth firm has languished at the bottom rung for 20 years, his marriage is a charade, and his friends live cloned copies of his life. When Zero is replaced by a machine, we follow him on an amazing journey through life and beyond. Written by Nobel Prize winning author Elmer Rice in 1923, The Adding Machine is an American classic that offers a mega-tera-gigabaud of entertainment.
Laughter on the 23rd Floor
By Neil Simon
April 26 – May 6, 2007
Laughter on the 23rd Floor is a farcical romp that pokes fun at the mayhem, neuroses, nonstop gags, and constant one-upmanship of a team of brilliantly funny comedy writers as they hash out routines for The Max Prince Show. Based on Neil Simon’s early days in show business when he worked as a junior joke writer with a bunch of the looniest comedy writers ever, including Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner, on Sid Caesar’s Your Show of Shows, this behind-the-scenes smash comedy is a hilarious memoir of the Golden Age of Television from America's favorite playwright.
