| 4 by Chekhov
written by Anton Chekhov
directed by Howard Berkowitz
MAIN STAGE
March 7 - April 6, 2014
With bold, vibrant, and hilarious dialogue, Anton Chekhov captures the divine comedy of everyday life, exposing our foibles and self-deceptions in all their glory. Join a cast of frenetic fathers, desperate daughters, paranoid paramours, and hassled husbands for this stunning evening of wonderful world theater.
"Lively, life-affirming and laugh-out-loud funny, this production of Chekhov's Vaudevilles ... is a breath of fresh air. It's a must-see for anyone who loves Chekhov and an eye-opener for anyone under the impression that an evening of Chekhov would be hard work."

SOKAL STAGE
April 11 - April 27, 2014
When Marlene celebrates her promotion to the top of a London employment agency, she invites all her heroines from art and history join her: a fearless Victorian-era explorer, a Japanese Emperor's mistress turned Buddhist nun, a woman who may have indeed been the Pope, the Canterbury Tales’ obedient Clerk's Wife, and a Flemish peasant-avenger who's been to Hell and back. These women all know that success requires sacrifice, but who has to pay the cost? Seamlessly entwining dark comedy and political critique, this innovative and powerful modern classic has never been more relevant.
"...the show prompts us to question whether the sacrifices we're willing to make and the values we place on getting ahead in a so-called man's world are really worth the ride.”

| Amadeus
written by Peter Shaffer
directed by Barry Feinstein
MAIN STAGE
May 2 - June 1, 2014
This provocative work that won both a Tony Award and an Academy Award, weaves a confrontation between mediocrity and genius into a tale of breathtaking dramatic power. Salieri has given himself to God so that he might realize his sole ambition to be a great composer while Mozart is a silly, graceless young man who has that which is beyond Salieri’s envious grasp: Genius.
"A total iridescent triumph of complexity, emotion, and dramatic power."
