| | The Rocky Horror Show
Book, Music and Lyrics by Richard O'Brien
November 10 – 12 and 17 – 19, 2022
In this cult classic, sweethearts Brad and Janet, stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker and a creepy butler. Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named "Rocky."
Frank-N-Furter and his motley crew did the "Time Warp" on Broadway in a 25th anniversary revival. Complete with sass from the audience, cascading toilet paper, and an array of other audience participation props, this deliberately kitschy rock 'n' roll sci-fi gothic musical is more fun than ever.
THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.com | Buy tickets |
| | Starting Here, Starting Now
Lyrics by Richard Maltby, JR. Music by David Shire
Produced at Barbarann Theatre Restaurant, NYC by
Steve Abrams, Mary Jo Slater, Scott Mansfield and Morton Schwartz
February 8 – 11 at 7:30 PM
Starting Here, Starting Now is a thrilling and touching musical revue using the songs of Richard Maltby, Jr., and David Shire (Big, Baby, Closer Than Ever).
Using songs from their various early musicals (produced or otherwise), this bold, extroverted journey takes a winsome cast of three through the maze of modern relationships with its heart firmly on its sleeve. As with all of Maltby and Shire's work, each song is an impeccably crafted story – original, engaging, bursting with character and showcasing the versatility and charisma of its performer.
From tender ballads to hysterical husband-hunting laments, from wry comments on trendy marriages to ecstatic shouting-from-the-rooftop celebration, Starting Here, Starting Now has an appealing freshness that has made it a perennial favorite throughout the world.
Starting Here, Starting Now
Is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre are International (MTI).
All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. mtishows.com

| | Sense and Sensibility
by Jane Austen
adapted by Kate Hamill
April 13 – 15 & 20 – 22 at 7:30 PM
A playful new adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved novel follows the fortunes (and misfortunes) of the Dashwood sisters—sensible Elinor and hypersensitive Marianne—after their father’s sudden death leaves them financially destitute and socially vulnerable. Set in gossipy late 18th-century England, with a fresh female voice, the play is full of humor, emotional depth, and bold theatricality. SENSE AND SENSIBILITY examines our reactions, both reasonable and ridiculous, to societal pressures. When reputation is everything, how do you follow your heart? | Buy tickets |
