| | A Christmas Carol by Michael Paller (based on Charles Dicken’s Book).
A Holiday Classic with a Twist.
Directed by Annette Alliano.
Produced by Annette Alliano
Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
(No Performances Thanksgiving Weekend)
This fresh approach to the classic tale faithfully conveys the magic of Dickens. On Christmas Eve in 1843 friends and family gathered at Dickens' home ask him to tell a story, but he refuses to work on Christmas Eve. If there is going to be a story, each must take a part in it’s telling. And so the story unfolds with the cast of 10 playing over 40 parts.

| | Jake's Women by Neil Simon
A Comedy
Directed by TBD
Produced by TBD
Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc
America's premier comic playwright makes another hilarious foray into the world of modern relationships. Jake, a novelist who is more successful with fiction that with life, faces a marital crisis by daydreaming about the women in his life. The wildly comic and sometimes moving flashbacks played in his mind are interrupted by visitations from actual females. Jake's women include a revered first wife who was killed years earlier in an accident, his daughter who is recalled as a child but is now a young woman, his boisterous and bossy sister, an opinionated analyst, his current wife who is leaving Jake for another man, and a prospective third wife.

"Full of funny lines."-The New Yorker
"Wit and wisecracks aplenty." - UPI
"Spending time with Jake's Women is a wholly justifiable diversion for the audience as well as the protagonist." - The New York Daily News
