This romantic musical comedy
is set in Paris in 1929. Filled with delightful,
witty Cole Porter songs, the story takes place
one summer evening in Baron Rommer's elegant
penthouse suite at the Hotel Ritz. The baron and
his butler switch identities so that the butler
can pursue a woman he believes is a lady of a
much higher class. It transpires that she is
actually a maid in the service of Mme. Baltin, a
high society figure who has captured the baron's
heart. Her jealous husband and an actress
headlining at the Follies Bergere round out the
cast of this door slamming farce with wonderful
songs and dancing.

Described by Edward
Albee as “…
the greatest American play
ever written,” the story
follows
the small town of Grover’s
Corners through three
acts:
“Daily Life,” “Love and
Marriage,” and “Death and
Eternity.” Narrated by a
stage
manager and performed
with
minimal props and sets,
audiences follow the Webb
and
Gibbs families as their
children fall in
love, marry, and
eventually—in one of
the most
famous scenes in
American
theatre—die.

Paul and Corie
Bratter are
newlyweds in every sense of
the
word. He's a straight-as-an-arrow
lawyer and she's a free spirit
always looking for the latest kick.
Their new apartment is her most
recent find-too expensive with bad
plumbing and in need of a paint
job.
After a six day honeymoon,
they get a
surprise visit from
Corie's loopy mother
and decide to
play matchmaker during a
dinner
with their neighbor-in-the-attic
Velasco, where everything that
can
go wrong, does. Paul just doesn't
understand Corie, as she sees it.
He's too staid, too boring and she
just wants him to be a little more
spontaneous, running "barefoot in
the park" would be a
start...

Harry Monday is
a throwback to
the famous detectives of
the last
century. Harry Monday,
that Sam
Spade wannabe in the trench coat
and gumshoes, is hot and on
his
latest case. Does he know
what
he's doing? Who knows? Is he
over his head? Of course!
Especially when he finds three
characters murdered at the
Restful
Glen Psychiatric Annex. Only
after
he arrives does he find out that
all
the inmates have multiple
personalities. And the three
murder victims are all the
same
guy! Who killed Jeffrey
Stadtlander? Was it the
congressman who, in a
crisis,
becomes Edgar Allan Poe? Or
maybe it was the schoolteacher
who runs hot and cold? Or what
about the mailman who has more
personalities than he ever had on
his route? "Clues are falling like
cigarettes in the boys' bathroom,"
he says as he soon finds himself
committed and not just to the
case. This wise-cracking whodunit
will have you guessing until the
final red herring or perhaps
Harry's goose is
cooked.
