This sparkling, sophisticated romantic comedy is one of the longest-running and most popular comedies in Broadway history! MARY, MARY gives us Mary and Bob - a bickering, divorcing couple who are forced to meet on a business matter and find they still have great chemistry together. Their potential reconciliation is hampered by Bob's young girlfriend and a handsome film actor who takes an interest in Mary.
GLORIOUS! is the hilarious and poignant true story of Florence Foster Jenkins, a wealthy eccentric widow who also happens to be the world's worst singer. Madame Jenkins, however, feels she is a true artist and forges ahead with her musical career culminating in a "triumphant" solo concert at New York's fabled Carnegie Hall. Delightful characters, laugh-out-loud silliness and a genuine heart all converge to make GLORIOUS! a glorious comedy!
Percy is a feisty young parolee who follows her dreams to a small town in Wisconsin and finds a place for herself at Hannah's Spitfire Grill. It is for sale, but there are no takers, so Percy suggests a raffle. The entry fee is one hundred dollars and the best essay on why you want the grill is the winner. Soon, mail from around the world is arriving by the wheelbarrow full and things definitely start to cook at the Spitfire Grill! A soul-satisfying musical with soaring melodies and glowing honesty.
Colonel Kincaid is a crusty World War I veteran from West Texas who learns that he is the oldest living graduate of his prestigious military academy in Galveston. The Colonel stubbornly resists the plans of his wheeler-dealer son to benefit from the publicity of a public ceremony to commemorate the achievement. THE OLDEST LIVING GRADUATE is an extremely funny and touching Texas theatrical classic about the clash of old values with new ones.
This Southwest Premiere of the new play from the author of COMIC POTENTIAL takes an outrageously funny and topical look at our world-wide fascination with "celebrities," no matter how inconsequential or untalented they may be. Ayckbourn is at top of his game in this brilliant new comedy which leaves you laughing...and thinking.
Mark Twain's timeless classic sweeps us down the mighty Mississippi as the irrepressible Huck Finn helps his friend Jim, a slave, escape to freedom. Their adventures along the way are hilarious, suspenseful and heartwarming. Propelled by a Tony Award-winning score from Roger "King of the Road" Miller, this jaunty journey provides a brilliantly theatrical celebration of pure Americana.
