roll them all together? Well, you get Ruthless, of course. An hysterically
funny send up of these movies with a powerful cast, tuneful music, and a surprise
ending. Nominated for five Drama Desk Awards including Best Musical. "Ruthless!

Starring Liz McCartney and Bob Stillman
Directed by Brian P. Allen
Based on the life of Florence Foster Jenkins, a patroness of the arts, who fancied herself a singer. She sold out Carnegie Hall in a record three hours; however, she couldn't carry a tune in a bucket! This very funny play is also sweet and extremely touching. Souvenir was a hit last season on Broadway.

stranger appears at the wedding everything changes. The show is charming and warm

blues. Nominated for two Tony Awards including Best Play.

Village Voice
"I loved this play... propels the audience through emotional

Rabbit Hole, winner of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for drama, is about a couple
dealing with a tragic loss. Set eight months after the incident, Becca

with humor and warmth, Rabbit Hole is a stunningly beautiful piece that
will touch your heart. Critics raved about the Broadway production of
Rabbit Hole. The play was nominated for four 2006 Tony Awards including
Best Play. Original leading lady, Cynthia (Sex and the City) Nixon, won
the Tony Award for Outstanding Leading Actress in a Play.
