Music and lyrics by Mark Hollmann Book and lyrics by Greg Kotis Directed by Steve Bell Don't let the title scare you — URINETOWN is the wackiest musical satire to hit the stage in decades! It's simply the time-honored story of two kids who fall in love, while living in a city that’s in the middle of a water shortage. One of the most uproariously funny musicals in recent years, this 2002 Tony Award winner for both book and musical score is an exemplary tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold.

By William Inge Directed by Iris Weinhouse Don’t miss the opportunity to see this rarely performed play by one of 20th Century America’s most distinguished playwrights. An updated and final version of the famous Pulitzer Prize-winning play “Picnic” finds the same classic themes of impetuosity, longing and regret in place but with additional subtleties that only the original eminent author could create.

By Charles Busch A 2001 Tony Award nominee for Best Play, this stylish and clever comedy tells the story of a chic woman who is engulfed in a life crisis of Medea-like proportions. She tries to lose herself in a world of art galleries, foreign films and avant-garde theater when suddenly an old friend comes back into her life, and becomes both a savior and an unwelcome guest — in that order. See a modern showpiece featuring “wall-to-wall laughs” (NY Times) which ran for over 800 performances on Broadway.
