The Little Dog Laughed follows the
adventures of Mitchell Green, a movie star who could hit it big if it weren't
for one teensy-weensy problem. His agent, Diane, can't seem to keep him in the
closet. Trying to help him navigate Hollywood's choppy waters, the devilish Diane
is doing all she can to keep Mitchell away from the cute rent boy who's caught
his eye and the rent boy's girlfriend. Wait! The rent boy has a girlfriend???

British talk-show host David Frost has become a lowbrow laughing-stock.
Richard M. Nixon has just resigned the United States presidency in total disgrace.
Go behind the scenes and see what really happened. A cast of ten will enthrall
audiences as they play out the twists and turns it took to get these interviews
made. Maine premiere!
"Structured as a prize fight between two
starkly ambitious men in professional crisis, Frost/Nixon makes it clear
that the competitor who controls the camera reaps the spoils." - NY Times
" a thoroughly modern Shakespearean tragedy Peter Morgan has given us a behind the scenes look at a well-publicized event, and used his imagination to create a riveting entertainment..." - Curtain Up
"
ripe entertainment
The cheerily
oblivious limey lightweight and the brooding, mortally wounded political animal:
Austin Powers vs. Macbeth." - Washington Post

Music & lyrics by James Valcq, book & lyrics by Fred Alley
A feisty parolee follows her dreams to a small town in Wisconsin and finds a place for herself working at Hannah's Spitfire Grill. It is for sale but there are no takers for the only eatery in the depressed town, so newcomer Percy suggests to Hannah that she raffle it off. Entry fees are one hundred dollars and the best essay on why you want the grill wins. Soon, mail is arriving by the wheelbarrow full and things are definitely cookin' at the Spitfire Grill. Maine premiere!!!
"A soul
satisfying ... work of theatrical resourcefulness. A compelling story that flows
with grace and carries the rush of anticipation. The story moves, the characters
have many dimensions and their transformations are plausible and moving. The musical
is freeing. It is penetrated by honesty and it glows." - N.Y. Times
"Soulful
transcendent ... a joy ..." - N.Y. Magazine
"Soaring
melodies! " - Wall Street Journal.
"An abundance of warmth,
spirit and goodwill! ... Some of the most engaging and instantly infectious melodies
I've heard in an original musical in some time." - USA Today.

By Oscar
Wilde
Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest is a most delicious,
if not the most delicious, comedy of manners, morals and misrepresentation of
the manor-born. Wilde's piercingly sharp dialogue still delights, some 110 years
after it was written. Algernon and Jack both fall in love under assumed names.
When the women announce they could only love a man named Ernest, Algy and Jack
must work quickly to maintain their lady loves. Fun, frothy and frivolous,
The Importance of Being Earnest will keep audiences laughing until spring arrives.
