Henry Lowenthal is looking forward to being appointed to an endowed chair so he and his wife can enjoy their golden years. But their plans are given a rude jolt when his successor, a vindictive and ruthlessly ambitious young woman, informs him that she is not recommending him for the chair—an act of such calculated cruelty that the usually gentle professor seizes a bust of Socrates and strikes his tormentor. Thereafter, as Henry and his wife plot a foolproof way to dispose of the body, complications arise in the form of a rather sinister young student who is about to flunk out of school who has witnessed the professor's violent action. Add in a suspicious police lieutenant and you have all the ingredients for a series of suspenseful, unexpected and frequently funny developments, leading to a denouement that will catch everyone by surprise.

This is a beautiful exploration of the intimate workings of a relationship between a widow and a widower who meet later in life and find a way into each other’s hearts. Set in a New Jersey Victorian, a taciturn Yankee widower and a vivacious grandmother from Tennessee find what they least expected—a second chance at love. Their funny, awkward, and enchanting romance is filled with sweet surprise and unpredictable tribulation. Told with warmth and perceptive humor this is a delightful story of rejuvenation and reward as they deal with change.

    Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, this oddball romantic comedy, considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, soars with the spirit of Broadway as it introduces us to a cast of vivid characters who have become legends in the canon: Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight "mission doll," out to reform the evildoers of Time Square; Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love; Adelaide, the chronically ill nightclub performer whose condition is brought on by the fact she's been engaged to the same man for 14 years; and Nathan Detroit, her devoted fiancé, desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous floating crap game. This great show will light up the Off-Broadstreet Stage.

 Gaston Dubois and his beautiful wife Huguette are bored with the monotony of married bliss. Fidelity is strained when the quietude of their Paris apartment becomes the playground for would-be and ex-lovers. The mad capers reach an amazing peak of hilarity when everyone lands in bed with the wrong person or persons, including an uptight maiden aunt.  This classic farce is one of the most boisterous, roisterous and side splitting comedies that has ever graced any stage. This outrageous comedic riot will leave you limp from laughter.

Mary and Margaret share a home in Savannah, Georgia. Mary finds her “grumpiness” to her liking; she knows she's "mean" when she argues with grocery store clerks, but she doesn't care and has no intention of doing anything about it. Margaret is dithery; dotty but sweet. They are devout Catholics—though that means different things to each: Mary goes to church every Sunday and enjoys complaining about the nuns, the congregants, the sermons, you name it; while Margaret seems to limit her religious activity to serving dinner to Father Murphy, a priest both sisters enjoy, every Thursday night. So, when Melissa the young and pretty missionary from the Church of the Apostolic Discipline, American Rite, makes her first appearance at Mary and Margaret’s home looking to convert the sisters, you know that mayhem will ensue. When Mary finds she cannot quell Melissa’s arguments on her own, she brings in the big gun, Father Murphy to help but his help is not what she expects. This script is VERY funny; it's comedy rooted in situation and character in the best way.
