| | YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU
by Moss Hart & George S. Kaufman
Directed by Mike Fletcher
March 29 - April 13, 2019
At first, the Sycamores seem mad, but it is not long before we realize that if they are mad, the rest of the world is madder. Tony, attractive young son of the unhappy Kirbys, falls in love with Alice Sycamore and brings his parents to dine at the Sycamore home on the wrong evening.
So begins this madcap romp, featuring a printing press in the parlor, screwball comedy, youthful romance, fireworks of both the literal and metaphorical kinds, and the funniest attempt ever at avoiding the income tax.

| | A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM
Book by Burt Shevelove & Larry Gelbart
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Directed by Marty Bussert
June 7 - 22, 2019
Broadway's greatest farce takes comedy back to its roots, combining situations from time-tested, 2000-year-old comedies of Roman playwright, Plautus, with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a nonstop laugh-fest in which Pseudolus, a crafty slave, struggles to win the hand of a beautiful, but slow-witted, courtesan named Philia for his young master, Hero, in exchange for freedom. The plot twists and turns with cases of mistaken identity, slamming doors and a showgirl or two. This unforgettable, hysterical musical has "something for everyone, a comedy tonight!"
