| | Love Letters
Written by A.R. Gurney
Directed by Iris Weinhouse
Two characters, Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III, sit side-by-side at tables and read the notes, letters and cards—in which over nearly 50 years, they discuss their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats—that have passed between them throughout their separated lives. This simple yet elegant story was a Pulitzer Prize finalist and has been translated and performed the world over since its debut 30 years ago.

| | My Son The Waiter, A Jewish Tragedy - A BCP FUNDRAISER
Starring Brad Zimmerman
My Son The Waiter is Actor/Comedian Brad Zimmerman's hilarious and inspiring story about the grit and passion required to 'make it' as an artist and the sweet rewards that come from never giving up on your dream, even after "temporarily" waiting tables for 29 years.
In this part standup/part theatrical piece Brad tells a story of one man's lengthy struggle to make it as an actor in New York. His send-ups on his childhood, his family, his misbegotten love life, and his career are as warm and poignant as they are hysterical.

| | Central Park West
Written by Woody Allen
Directed by David Luke
Originally part of the trilogy Death Defying Acts, this one-act comedy tracks a well-to-do psychiatrist who has just discovered that her best friend is having an affair with her husband. Don't miss the playwright's trademark subjects and quirks, including New York socialites, neurotic rambling, and the unforgiving cosmos coupled with the terror of existence; it's Woody Allen at his best!

| | Moon Over Buffalo
Written by Ken Ludwig
Directed by Rachel Alt
The hilarious backstage farce by the author of Lend Me a Tenor presents the story of an acting couple on tour in Buffalo in 1953, with a repertory consisting of Cyrano de Bergerac and Noël Coward’s Private Lives. Fate has given these thespians one more shot at starring roles, with director Frank Capra himself en route to Buffalo to catch their matinee performance. The original production brought Carol Burnett back to Broadway, described by Entertainment Tonight as "...by far Broadway's most enjoyable and lighthearted play!"

| | Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike
Written by Christopher Durang
Directed by Alyson Cohn
This six-time Tony Award nominee (and winner of Best Play of 2013) brilliantly and hilariously sends up many of Anton Chekhov's best-known plays and characters. Sharply written by the master of the absurd (The Actor's Nightmare, Beyond Therapy), "the story is made up of scattered bits of Chekhov run through a contemporary plot processor, (but) even if you've never read a word of (his) you'll find plenty to make you laugh."

| | The Underpants
Written by Steve Martin
Adapted from Carl Sternheim
Directed by Terri Caust
Actor/comedian/musician Steve Martin (yes, that Steve Martin) is also a talented playwright (Picasso at the Lapin Agile, Meteor Shower) who adapted this farcical send-up of bourgeois snobbery and conformity set in 1910 Germany. Utilizing double-entendres, verbal jousting and expertly-timed door slams, the 90-minute comedy can be summed up in one line of dialogue: "Never underestimate the power of a glimpse of lingerie."
