Noises Off
Written by Michael Frayn • Directed by Anita Maynard-LoshCalled “the funniest farce ever written” Noises Off follows an acting company’s struggles to prepare and perform a British sex comedy called Nothing On. Everything that can go wrong does, as actors desperately try to hang on to their lines, their performances and the furniture, especially a hysterically slippery plate of sardines. Noises Off earned Tony Award nominations for Best Play and will delight you with it’s lunacy!

Avenue Q, The Musical
Music and Lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, Book by Jeff Whitty • Directed by Patti D’BeckAvenue Q is Broadway’s smash hit - winner of the 2004 Tony Awards for Best Musical. Featuring a cast of people and puppets who tell the story of adult life in NYC in a smart funny and downright raunchy way. Avenue Q is the scrappy little musical that broke the rules with songs such as “It Sucks to Be Me” and “Schdenfreude”. These puppets may be inappropriate for children under 13, but for the rest of us, they are hilarious!

The Colored Museum
Written by George C. Wolfe • Directed by Tawnya Pettiford-WatesWritten by George C. Wolfe The Colored Museum’s sharp wit takes aim at stereotypes, self-loathing and assimilation within the African-American community. Created as a vaudevillian mosaic of “exhibits,” each one fearlessly spans the history of African American experience and culture, while mocking stereotypes. 26 years later, Wolfe’s funny and shocking themes still resonate with the hope that these are exhibits of the past, and not living moments or models for our future.

Written by Christopher Bond • Directed by Barry BellDark, nightmarish and thrilling, Christopher Bond’s play (that Sondheim’s musical is based on) follows the barber, Sweeney Todd, as he plots his bloody revenge against the judge who betrayed and deported him on false charges. With the death of his wife, Sweeney takes revenge upon the corrupt society of Victorian London by dispatching his victims with a grisly slit to the throat in his barber chair.
