Cross a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, whirl it up with giddy comedy and wildly invented theatrical stagecraft and you have The 39 Steps, a fast and frothy whodunit that celebrates the magic of theater. When a beautiful and mysterious woman is murdered, the suave hero is falsely accused and pursued across the country in an unforgettable evening of pure comedic pleasure. More than 150 characters brought to life by a cast of just four brilliant comedic actors. This award-winning treat kept audiences rolling on Broadway for over three years.

"The most entertaining show on Broadway." - NY Post

There Goes the Bride is a madcap race to the altar for the Westerby family. The father-of-the-bride tries to handle his daughter's wedding arrangements while juggling his frenetic advertising business. After a bump on the head, he meets a beautiful and rambunctious 1920's Flapper, but only he can see her. Compounding his problems are his intrepid wife, a critical mother-in-law, his hard-of-hearing father-in-law, a sarcastic business partner and a suspicious father-of-the groom. This warm comedy is full of laughs.

"I found myself surrendering to the ceaseless bombardment of familiar nonsense laughing outright." -London Daily Mail.

Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Donald Margulies has created a moving portrait about a journalist and photographer coping with changes in life and their relationship following the trauma of covering the Iraq war. When injuries force them to return, the longtime couple, still deeply committed to one another, confronts the prospect of a more conventional life.

Praised by The New York Times as a powerful drama that "crackles with bright wit and intelligence," one that feels like "eavesdropping on two cherished friends at their most vulnerable and emotionally exposed," this moving new play prompts poignant questions about responsibility - to ourselves, to our loved ones, to our community and to our world.

Instead of performing Charles Dickens' beloved holiday classic for the umpteenth time, three actors decide to perform every Christmas story ever told -- plus Christmas traditions from around the world, seasonal icons from ancient times to topical pop-culture, and every carol ever sung. A madcap romp through the holiday season!

"The play accomplishes the small miracle of making all Christmas myths seem both utterly ridiculous and absolutely essential. Yes, Virginia, you can have your fruitcake and eat it, too." - Orlando Weekly
