A bittersweet Neil Simon Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy set
during WW II. Two adolescent brothers, Jay and Artie, are left
with their prickly grandmother and their slightly addled aunt
while their father is on the road, selling. Soon they are joined
by their gangster uncle, who gives the boys some important lessons
about real life. Meanwhile, their aunt is dreaming of marrying
and moving out, despite grandma's strong opposition. The play
blends humor with serious subject matter as the boys try to reconcile
their conflicting loyalties to the various members of their extended
family.

success. And the final couple find themselves surprised at expecting
a child just as they thought their active parenting days had come
to a close.

Mary returns to the apartment she
shared with her ex-husband, Bob, to help him and their lawyer

that her ex is engaged to be re-married. She also meets, and falls
for, Dirk, her husband's friend, the actor with a reputation for
womanizing. This new relationship leads Bob to reconsider his
feelings for Mary. A charming and very funny character comedy

a bit of physical comedy.

A mystery-thriller by Alan Ayckbourne,
set in the past, present and future. The play takes place in a
luxury hotel suite. It begins in 2014, with an elderly man asking
a call girl, Poopay, to deliver a confession of his sins (including
the murder of 2 ex-wives) to the authorities. They're interrupted
by the man's partner in crime, and in trying to escape, the woman
discovers a door that transports her to the same room 20 years
earlier where she meets the man's still-living second wife. Poopay
convinces the woman she's in danger and explains the mystical
door. When the wife tries the door for herself, she's transported
an additional 20 years backward where she's able to warn the errant
husband's first wife of her impending murder. Together the 3 women
move back and forth through time to thwart the man's deadly plans.
A unique and exciting play that will keep the audience riveted.
