The Prisoner of Second Avenue
The Prisoner of Second Avenue
by Neil Simon

This classis play, written in 1971, by one of the world’s most celebrated, and widely performed playwrights, still resonates today. Mel Edison has definitely had better days. The summer heat is unbearable, the air-con is on the blink, the noisy neighbors are driving him crazy, his high-stress job is about to vanish, and the television news is getting weirder by the second. Luckily Edna, his loving and supportive wife, is a beacon of hope and sanity. But not for long…! "The Prisoner of Second Avenue" is a comedy that also shows how a husband and wife can weather any storm as long they have each other’s love, support and a very big shovel.

Arsenic and Old Lace
Arsenic and Old Lace
Written by Joseph Kesselring
Directed by Jim Pyduck

This famous comedy was a smash hit in New York and remains one of the most popular plays to this day! Drama critic Mortimer Brewster’s engagement announcement is upended when he discovers a corpse in his elderly aunts’ window seat. Mortimer rushes to tell Abby and Martha, only to learn that the two old women aren’t just aware of the dead man in their parlor, they killed him! Between his aunts’ penchant for poisoning wine, some wacky relatives—not to mention Mortimer’s own hesitancy about marriage—it’ll be a miracle if Mortimer makes it to his wedding. Arsenic and Old Lace is a classic black comedy about the only thing more deadly than poison: family.

Other Desert Cities
Written by Jon Robin Baitz
Directed by Parker Anderson

Brooke Wyeth returns home to Palm Springs after a six-year absence to celebrate Christmas with her parents, her brother, and her aunt.

In effect, she draws a line in the sand and dares them all to cross it. “Astutely drawn…juicy and surprising.” —NY Daily News. “Power, passion, and superbly crafted palaver stippled with blow darts of wit—this is what Baitz does best.” —NY Magazine.

The scene is Hazlehurst, Mississippi, where the three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of the family patriarch, their grandfather, who is living out his last hours in the local hospital.

Winner of the 1981 Pulitzer Prize and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award. “From time to time a play comes along that restores one’s faith in our theatre…” —NY Magazine.

The Last Five Years
The Last Five Years
Book, music, and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown
Directed by Michelle Grubert

An emotionally powerful and intimate musical about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love over the course of five years, the show's unconventional structure consists of Cathy, the woman, telling her story backwards while Jamie, the man, tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show.

A Drama Desk winner, The Last Five Years, has been translated into a handful of languages and was named one of TIME Magazine's ten best shows of 2001. A testament to the show's longevity, and spurred by the show's regional popularity, The Last Five Years enjoyed an Off-Broadway revival at Second Stage in 2013.

This show contains content and language which may not be suitable for all ages.

Sherlock Holmes: Final Adventure
Sherlock Holmes: Final Adventure
Written by Steven Dietz
Directed by Layla Tenney

The world’s greatest detective has seemingly reached the end of his remarkable career when a case presents itself that is too tempting to ignore. With his trusted companion, Doctor Watson, at his side, Sherlock Holmes pursues first the case, and then the affections of Miss Adler—and in doing so, marches right into the lair of his longtime adversary. In this spirited, fast-moving and thoroughly theatrical adaptation, Steven Dietz presents Holmes at the height of his powers—surrounded by all the elements that fans of his exploits have come to expect: danger, intrigue, wit, humor and surprise. “The game is afoot, Watson—and it is a dangerous one!" Winner of the 2007 Edgar Award for Best Mystery Play.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf
Written by Edward Albee
Directed by Albert Hendeaux

George and Martha, the American theater’s most notoriously dysfunctional couple, have invited the young and naïve Nick and Honey over for drinks. What begins as harmless patter escalates to outright marital warfare, with the provincial newcomers caught in the crossfire.

We are thrilled to celebrate the 61th anniversary of the hilarious and harrowing play, arguably Edward Albee’s most famous and most vicious masterpiece. Winner of the 1963 Tony Award for Best Play.

“This is a Big One.” —NY Journal-American.

“…a scorching, scalding, revealing and completely engrossing drama.” —Women’s Wear Daily.

“…a brilliant piece of writing.” —NY Herald-Tribune.

Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
by Larry L. King and Peter Masterson, Music and Lyrics by Carol Hall

This happy-go-lucky view of small-town vice and statewide political side-stepping recounts the good times and the demise of the Chicken Ranch, known since the 1850s as one of the better pleasure palaces in all of Texas. Governors, senators, mayors, and even victorious college football teams frequent Miss Mona’s cozy bordello, until that Puritan nemesis Watchdog focuses his television cameras and his righteous indignation on the institution.

“A font of fun and friendliness, engagingly rich in regional nostalgia and spiced with delicate bawdry. The country and western score is a delight.” – Time

Appropriate for audiences aged 16 and up; strong language and adult situations.
