 The
Sunshine Boys
Neil Simon's timeless show biz
comedy.
September 9, 10, 16, 17, 22, 23 &
24, 2005
Al Lewis and Willie Clark played vaudeville as a team for forty three years, but
mutual dislike has keep them far apart for the last eleven years. Now CBS wants
them to appear in History of Comedy and their reunion sparks delirious
comedy.
"It's ham on wry.... Simon's sure footed craftsmanship and his one liners are as
exquisitely apt as ever." N.Y. Post. "Delicious and oddly affecting." N.Y.
Times. "Another hit for Simon in a shrewdly balanced, splendid and rather
touching slice of the show biz life." N.Y. Daily News.

 And Then
There Were None
By Agatha Christie
November 11, 12, 18 & 19
and December 1 & 2, 2005
In this superlative mystery comedy (originally titled Ten Little Indians)
statuettes of little soldier boys on the mantel of a house on an island off the
coast of Devon fall to the floor and break one by one as those in the house
succumb to a diabolical avenger. A nursery rhyme tells how each of the ten
"soldiers" met his death until there were none. Eight guests who have never met
each other or their apparently absent host and hostess are lured to the island
and, along with the two house servants, marooned. A mysterious voice accuses
each of having gotten away with murder and then one drops dead---poisoned. One
down and nine to go! The excitement never lets up!

 A Funny Thing Happened on the
Way to the Forum
February 10, 11, 17, 18, 23, 24
& 25, 2006
"Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!"
Broadway's greatest farce is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the
funniest musicals ever written - the perfect escape from life's troubles. "A
Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum" takes comedy back to its roots,
combining situations from time-tested, 2000 year old comedies of Roman
playwright Plautus with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville. The result
is a non-stop laugh-fest in which a crafty slave (Pseudolus) struggles to win
the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted courtesan (Philia) for his young master
(Hero), in exchange for freedom.
With its unforgettable zany characters, a hysterical, perfectly constructed book
by Larry Gelbart (of "MASH" and "City Of Angels" fame) and Burt Shevelove, and
witty Stephen Sondheim songs which are modest in their vocal demands, "A Funny
Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum" allows a brilliant ensemble of comedic
actors to shine. (The lead role of Pseudolus is one of the theatre's greatest
roles - a tour de force for a clown par excellence.)

.jpg) Love,
Sex and The I.R.S.
by William Van Zandt and Jane Milmore
May 5, 6, 12, 13, 18, 19 & 20, 2006
Here is a wild comic farce with twists of fate,
sight gags, mistaken identities and hilarious comic lines. Jon Trachtman and
Leslie Arthur are out of work musicians who room together in New York City. To
save money, Jon has been filing tax returns listing the pair as a married. The
day of reckoning comes when the Internal Revenue Service informs the "couple"
they're going to be investigated by a Mr. Spinner. Leslie masquerades as a
housewife, aided by Jon's fiancee, Kate. Complicating matters further Leslie and
Kate are having a fling behind Jon's back, Jon's mother drops in unexpectedly to
meet her son's fiancee, and Leslie's ex girlfriend shows up demanding to know
why Leslie has changed and won't see her anymore.
The premiere was at New Jersey's popular Dam Site Dinner Theatre. "Enough comic
lines to fill an encyclopedia of humor." Red Bank Register.
