Eduardo de Filippo captures the essence of family in a tale that "boils over" with passion, nostalgia and laughs. Saturday Sunday Monday is a heartwarming comedy about the life of a large extended Italian family who are preparing for the Sunday meal. Relationships are somewhat strained on Saturday, as the play opens, and meal preparations are underway. The kitchen and dining table are the heart of this household and serve to remind us that food, its preparation and enjoyment, equals love. However, during the traditional Sunday dinner, the simmering tensions boil over! On Monday morning, all will be forgiven. Because above all else, there is the love that this family has for each other. And, of course, there is always next Sunday's "ragu" to enjoy together! |
A raucous favorite, Ken Ludwig's Moon Over Buffalo captures the comedy and hilarity of two leading actors of the 50's, George and Charlotte Hay. On tour in Buffalo, New York, their repertoire consists of Cyrano de Bergerac (revised one-nostril version) and Noël Coward's Private Lives. Fate gives these back-water thespians one more shot at starring roles in an epic film of The Scarlet Pimpernel directed by Frank Capra himself, who is en route to Buffalo to catch their matinee performance. Unfortunately for George and Charlotte, everything that could go wrong does, abetted by a visit from their daughter's clueless fiancé and hilarious uncertainty about which play they're actually performing, caused by Charlotte's deaf old stage-manager mother who hates every bone in George's body. What follows is a mad-cap comedy that all will enjoy! |
The quintessential comedy of friendship, Steel Magnolias is a warm and winning play that was also made into a popular and critically acclaimed movie. Steel Magnolias serves up a slice of life in Louisiana that's as warm and comforting as sweet potato pie. In the haven of Truvy's beauty salon, six very different women come together to share their secrets and bare their souls, throwing in a little neighborly gossip for good measure. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle, the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town's elite. From weddings to divorces, babies to funerals, new beginnings to happy endings, they weather every event in their lives with grace, determination, and perfectly coifed hair. From shedding tears of laughter to tears of loss, this alternately hilarious and touching play is "the funniest show to ever make you cry." |
