THE BLONDE, THE BRUNETTE AND THE VENGEFUL REDHEAD by Robert Hewett The truth depends on who is telling the story. Everyone has a version of the day a very desperate housewife committed a crime of passion in the shopping mall... but you won't know all of the secrets until the final moments. A single actress plays seven roles in this funny, poignant tour de force that looks at love, betrayal, revenge and redemption. A runaway hit at Canada's Stratford Festival.

CHRISTMAS CAROL'D By Charles Dickens, adapted by Joseph Zettelmaier A holiday entertainment for young and old! Sometimes the true spirit of Christmas is found in the simplest of places: the fellowship of friends, a meal prepared with love, or the song of the littlest caroler. This holiday season, let five masterful actors take you on a journey of imagination to the heart of this beloved classic. Inventive and funny, heartwarming and richly poetic, Zettelmaier's adaptation fleshes out Dickens' well-known characters, exploring their humor, their humanity and their hope. This uniquely theatrical experience, filled with music and laughter, will reconnect you with the magic of the season. Starring John Seibert, directed by David Wolber.

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS Book/Lyrics by Howard Ashman, Music by Alan Menken Feed me, Seymour! A zany musical based on the 1960 cult film about a floral assistant who becomes an overnight sensation by discovering an unusual plant. Catchy tunes, comic-book creepiness and a R&B-singing plant from outer space make this the don't-miss musical of the season. Featuring Jason Richards, Courtney Myers and Broadway veteran Naz Edwards as Audrey II. Directed by Carla Milarch (The Fantasticks). |

THE SEAFARER by Conor McPherson The Devil is in the details. The Tony Award-winning Broadway smash about four Irish mates on an all-night bender of drinking and poker. Whiskey bottles empty, the words fly, and their game turns a dark corner when a mysterious stranger wants a piece of the action. This rich, earthy tall tale - filled with colorful characters and steeped in Irish myth - is darkly funny and surprisingly inspiring. Directed by Malcolm Tulip (Amadeus).

WOMAN BEFORE A GLASS by Lanie Robertson Life as a work of art. The outspoken, convention-flaunting heiress Peggy Guggenheim collected modern art...and modern artists. In this Obie-winner, Naz Edwards, as Peggy, tells it all: from her father's death on the Titanic, to saving art from the Nazi invasion of Paris, to her history of famous lovers, including Miro, Dali, and Picasso. Directed by Malcolm Tulip. Sponsored by Arbor Brewing Company |
