| Bus
Stop
By Directed by Sponsored by Running weekends February 16th through March 4th |
As told by the NY Herald-Tribune, BUS STOP is "...a warm and sensible little overnight scrap between a couple of stranded, stubborn, appealing people. A bus out of Kansas City pulls up at a cheerful roadside diner in the middle of a howling snowstorm.... All roads are blocked, and four or five weary travelers are going to have to hole up until morning. Cherrie, scurrying through the doorway in a spangled nightclub gown and a seedy fur trimmed jacket, is the passenger with most to worry about. She's been pursued, made love to, and finally kidnapped by a 21-year-old cowboy with a ranch of his own and the romantic methods of an unusually headstrong bull. The belligerent cowhand is right behind her, ready to sling her over his shoulder and carry her, alive and kicking, all the way to Montana. Even as she's ducking out from under his clumsy but confident embraces, and screeching at him fiercely to shut him up, she pauses to furrow her forehead and muse, "Somehow deep inside of me I got a funny feeling I'm gonna end up in Montana..." As a counterpoint to the main romance, the proprietor of the cafe and the bus driver at last find time to develop a friendship of their own; a middle-age scholar comes to terms with himself; and a young girl who works in the cafe also gets her first taste of romance. |  |
| The
Prisoner
of Second Avenue
by Directed by To be presented March 30th through April 14th |
The Prisoner of Second Avenue is the story of Mel and Edna Edison, a typical husband and wife from the 1970s. Mel loses his job and eventually has a mental breakdown due to his feeling useless. Edna then goes back to work to support them, making Mel feel even worse about the entire situation. The play has a happy ending, but the moral of the story is that the pressures of being in the rat race can eventually drive you nuts . | |

Nuts is a courtroom drama provoking & encapsulating issues ranging from justice and power, amongst other valuable themes within society. Being set in the courtroom of a psychiatric wing at Bellevue Hospital also represents themes of normality and the boundaries of acceptable behavior. The lead character, Claudia Faith Draper, is indicted for manslaughter in the first degree. These allusions, being presented within a legal environment, blend themes of power especially the role of authority symbolized by the judge, lawyers and the only witness being a psychiatrist. Regardless of this, Claudia still can recall exactly the words of the psychiatrist during their ‘consultations.’ |

Moon Over
Buffalo
by Directed by Running weekends October 26th through November 11th |
"Moon Over
Buffalo" is an outrageously funny
comedy centered around a middle-aged acting
couple performing in Buffalo. The husband is
frantically trying to keep his wife from
finding out that a member of the troupe is
carrying his child; talk his daughter out of
deserting the stage; and keep a very bad
acting company together long enough to
impress Frank Capra with a production of
"Private Lives" which becomes a
production of "Cyrano" in a
hilarious mix-up
The play is written by Ken Ludwig, who wrote "Lend Me A Tenor" |
