Cactus Flower by Abe Burrows  03/08/2024-03/24/2024

Abe Burrows' crowd-pleasing comedy—about a philandering dentist who avoids commitment by claiming to be married—was a Broadway and Hollywood smash.

 

'Art' by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton  04/19/2024-05/05/2024

The comedy, which raises questions about art and friendship, concerns three long-time friends, Serge, Marc, and Yvan. Serge, indulging his penchant for modern art, buys a large, expensive, completely white painting. Marc is horrified, and their relationship suffers considerable strain as a result of their differing opinions about what constitutes "art". Yvan, caught in the middle of the conflict, tries to please and mollify both of them.

 

The Foreigner by Larry Shue  05/31/2024-06/16/2024

The Foreigner is a fun, two-act comedy. The story takes place in a fishing lodge in rural Georgia where two Englishmen, Froggy and Charlie, arrive as guests. The shy Charlie agreed to accompany Froggy on the trip after his sick wife begged him to go. Froggy claims that Charlie cannot talk because he is a "foreigner" from an exotic country, and does not understand English. Taking the explanation that he's a non-English speaker as fact, the lodge's guests quickly begin revealing their secrets, and Charlie soon discovers scandals amongst some of the residents of the lodge.
