Everybody Loves Mame ! That irrepressible lady who believes that "life is a banquet and most poor fools are starving to death!" It's the height of the 1920's when Mame Dennis becomes the guardian of her ten-year-old nephew, Patrick. Clearly his life is changed forever—as is hers. Her priorities change, but in her topsy-turvy world, she still manages to live each day to the fullest! Overflowing with madcap adventures and eccentric characters, Mame is a flash of something different. Songs include "Open a New Window," "We Need a Little Christmas," "Bosom Buddies," and, of course, "Mame!"

Winner: of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Play. A young woman has spent years caring for her brilliant father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions, her estranged sister, and Hal, a former student who hopes to find value in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. Over the long weekend that follows, the discovery of a mysterious notebook draws Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: how much of her father's madness—or genius—has she inherited? "Compelling . . . full of mystery, unexpected humor, surprise, and old-fashioned story-telling."

The new musical comedy based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Ugly Duckling is a celebration of being different. It's soon clear that our hero, Ugly, is no ordinary duck. Mocked on the farmyard, pursued by a ravenous Cat, Ugly flees, embarking on an odyssey through the countryside, meeting a battery of colorful characters, finding himself —and love—along the way. The tuneful score and witty lyrics earned the 2000 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Musical (Britain's Tony award) and will leave you feeling EGG-cellent! Family fare at its funniest!
Directed by Andy Regiec. Musical direction by Elisa Rosman.

Friendship, loyalty and love endure the harshest of tests as Proteus and Valentine take leave of one another to seek their fortunes and find true love, the former in native Verona and the latter in Milan. But Proteus eventually leaves his beloved Julia, travels to Milan and falls in love with Valentine's Sylvia. Jealousy fuels treachery . . . but is redemption possible? Great comedic monologues and dialogues, disguised intentions and identities, and even a dog named Crab round out this multi-faceted offering from the Bard. Come see a contemporary twist on a timeless story!
